monday is for dance music. and thank you's.

Hello everyone. I'm sitting at a coffee shop in the valley right now, waiting for the Volvo guy to tell me how much it's going to be to fix the roof on my convertible, which is broken. Many of you have heard me complain about my purple nissan over the years, and having finally ponied up for a flashy set-of-wheels I am slowly drinking the gas-colored-kool-aid that comes with a real car. Wish me luck. With the top down.

So anywayz. I wanted to say thank you to everyone who came out to A Cause for Comedy @ the Improv. We managed another 15,000 ppl watching online, and the project is continuing to grow by leaps and bounds. We're not doing a july show as my partner company Causecast (causecast.org) is relaunching some new technology that would make james bond go "eh?", but look for us coming back strong, and technically sound live from the Improv on August 27th benefiting the Creative Visions Foundation (creativevisions.org)

And finally, here's is my latest track. My GF got me a keyboard and ableton for my birthday and well, I am in love with sequencing. Here's my latest effort I made special for Nextaid, our previous charity. As with my last effort I'm going for mood, melody, harmony and danceablility. Just think, you might know the making of a superstar DJ? If not than def. a dude who stays indoor all day hammering away at keys and buttons hoping it sounds musical.

Good night moon.

LA - join me for my 30th birthday @ the Whiskey A GO GO with Seneca

|
New York - what an amazing trip. Saw so many old friends I love, and our gala for the Northside Center for Child Development raised a jaw-dropping $850,000! I am so proud.

But that's not what this email is about.

In roughly 12 hours I will be 30. As luck would have it, last summer while traveling with friends in Ireland, I had the pleasure of meeting members of a band called Seneca. Their album, which had just come out, is one of the best bits of music I have ever heard. And Tuesday night, on the day of my 30th birthday, I'd like to invite you to come see them perform, with me, at LA's Whiskey A GO GO.

Just watch the video for their 1st single "clarity" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3XZH6UIsE8), they're so amazing. They'll be doing a set and I'll be doing a special performance with them. I have tickets available for 10 bucks which I'll leave @ the box-office window - just tell them you're there on "Ben's List", and you'll get the reduced ticket. And just so you have the info - here is the Facebook event page - it begins @ 9:45 but I'd realistically say get there at like 9:15. (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=80202144853&ref=mf)

And on Wednesday June 3rd - I am having my 30th birthday show @ the Improv, which I'll email about later.

Oh yeah and on Friday June 5th I am having the official 30th birthday house party at a location I cannot divulge, but it rad as balz. And balz are rad.

So that's that - expect another email tomorrow with a refresher, but please come out for my actual birthday, getting to share it with such amazing music is a real honor.

Oh man, oh man on man.

-Ben Morrison
