LA Times created a new Twitter account for their Michael Jackson coverage. It doesn’t make a whole world of difference because their other Twitter feeds retweet @LAtimesMJ anyway, but if you want every single story, including details on MJ’s designer funeral suit, this is the Twitter to follow.

In other news, I have entered the lottery for tickets to the memorial service. We’ll see what happens.

Penny Lane: Literal Video Version (via dascottjr)

“What the hell?! It’s our guitars! Where’d they get those?”

I must thank psychoviolinist for introducing me to these literal video versions — they are beyond awesome.

EDIT: SOME of them are beyond awesome. Many are complete crap.

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS. LOL. That was five minutes and thirty-three seconds of pure genius.

According to this press release, the cookies were re-released in May in the Western region of the U.S. I’m about to go get my cookie on.

“Ron’s tight with Kobe,” Bauman said by phone. “From a basketball perspective, the Lakers make perfect sense. Ron is a winner. His best fit is when he’s on a winning team. He shoots the three, posts up smaller guys, and defensively he’s a beast. Certainly those are skills a contending team would find attractive.”

Oh dear. I’m not a fan of Ron Artest as a person. I’d much rather have Ariza stay.

Ariza > Artest, IMHO.

Trevor Ariza’s short but sweet stay in Los Angeles might be coming to an end.

The 24-year-old swingman, who played a key role in the Lakers’ run to their 15th NBA championship, is on the verge of leaving the club, sources close to the situation said on Wednesday.

With at least five teams pursuing Ariza, the Lakers are currently unwilling to pay him more than the $5.6 million mid-level exception.

“They’re letting him go,” one of the sources said.

NO. NO WAY. WE CANNOT LET HIM GO!

Well, it’s nice to know that I get the best of both worlds without being Hannah Montana. (Har har har.)

Hey guys, I just started a twitter for my internship at Manhattan Theatre Club. No one here really gets the whole Internet thing so I kinda need it to be moderately strong for it to work.

I know we all did this last week, but if you are able, please help out and follow our twitter. No, this isn’t for a day off. But I’m an unpaid intern so I think that makes up for getting days off. And reblogging to get a little more exposure would be great too (especially all the ex-MTC interns out there). The feed will be mostly news about our shows and hopefully there will be discounts for tickets also.

So please follow us here and we’ll get you cheap theatre tickets. And you’ll help me look good at work.

Done and done. Please help Mark out if you can!

I’m always down to help a fellow Tumblrite (?). Especially if they’re using social media for arts marketing. :)

Some tips to get followers:

  • Follow other theater companies, even if they’re out of state. They’ll most likely follow you back, and it’ll give you an insight into what they’re up to. This is what I did with my organization’s Twitter (@creativemoco), and even though I haven’t tweeted or followed anyone since April (since I technically start work in August), we have followers. I was kind of surprised, not gonna lie.
  • Follow any other arts organizations in the city, actually. It can’t hurt, and they might feature you on a Follow Friday.
  • Follow any calendar listings or event guides in the city (for example, whatever the New York equivalent of the Philly Fun Guide is) — they might retweet your show announcements!

Good luck!

OH CANADA !

My high school choir had to learn this because we sang for a hockey game with either the Edmonton Oilers or Calgary Flames (I don’t remember) and the Los Angeles Kings.

I’d sing along, but…I only know the alto part.
