Next 20dot20 on Thursday, February 25
Feb 5th
20dot20 kicked off the new year right with our friends at the Gibson/Baldwin Entertainment Relations Showroom, formerly the Hit Factory. You can check out the official event video and pix. We’ve gotten such great feedback from the January event that we will be making Gibson home base for the next two months. On Thursday, February 25th and Wednesday, March 31st*, from 7-10pm, you can check out the studio where iconic artists such as Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder and many others churned out their hits.
You must RSVP to get the address for these events as the showroom is closed to the public and only open per special invite.
On the invite list, as always, are the top Advertising, Music, Media & Technology professionals. Be sure to bring plenty of business cards and samples or your work, promotional literature and/or products as appropriate. We encourage the 20dot20 community to use each other as vendors and to promote each other’s work. Companies that plan on participating should contact us for logo inclusion in our promotional materials. Special thanks to Raw*Revolution for providing Organic Live Food Bars at the January, February and March events.
*Note: In March we will be breaking our last Thursday of the month rule to accommodate Winter Music Conference attendees.

Michael Lynche has made it to Hollywood on American Idol

'Big Mike' Lynche
20dot20 sponsor Habitat Music/Hood Famous Music’s longtime collaborator Michael Lynche made it to Hollywood on American Idol last night. Habitat composer/producer Aaron Albano (a.k.a. Ming) helped “Big Mike” craft his unique blend of high-energy music called the “Dirty Blues”–where gritty southern soul meets dirty south hip-hop. The sound can best be described as a cross between Gnarls Barkley, Outkast and R. Kelly. We’ll be anxiously watching Idol along with the rest of America as the competition unfolds!
Check out some of his past work with Habitat writer/producer, Ming. Track 4 “Pimp Beat” also features a keyboard riff from yours truly, Habitat’s Harold Stephan.

20dot20 social is back! Next event on Thursday, January 28th
Jan 21st
See that big banner over on the right? Yep, that’s the new announcement for the next installment of our soon to be legendary 20dot20 Music, Media and Tech mixer. I know we’re a bit behind the 8-ball announcing this last minute and the invite’s already gone out, but better late than never.
We’re keeping it to the last Thursday of every month. The date is January 28th and the time is 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM. You may not catch American Idol, but you’ll certainly be one at 20dot20. (Yeah, that was cheesy…we know).
Where is it, you ask? Well…we can’t actually post it here. The venue has asked us to keep their location hush hush. You have to actually REGISTER for the event to find out the location. Just click to register and you’ll receive an email with the location details.
It’s a suprise and one of the coolest spaces in New York City. We know you won’t be disappointed. What we can confirm is that we are keeping the event in a private space and not a bar/lounge. Per the usual theme, it’s in a non-threatening recording studio environment. Who likes to talk over all that music and fight for the bartenders attention, when all day we listen to loud music and don’t feel like bumping heads with rookies at the bar? Not us…that’s for sure!
We hope to see you at 20dot20! Bring business cards and feel free to bring some product samples. Our friends love free stuff!
