Next Wednesday is Zune and Soup Day

Hola amigos. Been a while since I rapped at ya. (Bonus points if you get that reference. . .  without looking it up). Things are crazy busy around here, so I only have time for a quick post.

Thanks to everyone who came out for Zune and Soup  on Wednesday night. I think we should try one more time. Let's say same soup-time, same soup-channel. That is:

Wednesday - October 11, at 6:30 PM Souped Up Cafe 7900 E Green Lake Dr N

And it's time for another swag give-away. I've got 5 men's medium tee-shirts to give away to those who show up. (sorry, no additional sizes).

In other news, let me know if you're going to We Are Scientists at Neumo's Saturday night. Honestly I'm on the fence on them. But I hear they're big in the UK. So drop a comment if you're going. If I go, I'll try to sneak in a Zune. Ok everybody, have a good weekend!

I wish I lived in Washington... I wanna check out the Zune. Anyways,I think We are scientists is pretty cool from the one song I've heard. Heard one of their songs in Burnout Revenge for 360 :)

I'll be at the concert tonight. We Are Scientists puts on an awesome show, although I'm not a huge fan of Art Brut, they are a bit too indie for me. Drop me a line and I'll check out the Zune. Also, you should check out "Clap your hands, say yeah" on tuesday/wednesday. Awesome band.

Nuts, I'm on the road again on Wednesday - I'll be New Mexico - otherwise I'd definitely be there. Thanks for hosting these though Cesar - - this is a great idea and if I can make it to a future one I sure will! - Harvey http://www.zunerama.com PS Could you post a pic of what those shirts look like?

This place kind of looks like that Seinfield soup kitchen. If you aren't nice to Cesar, you might hear: "No Zune for you!!!"

6:30?? Are y'all really working on the Zune team? To get there by 6:30 you are at least leaving the Eastside a hour before that. Walk the halls where they are working on Office or Windows right now and there are plenty of people still working at 5:30 pm. :(

the soup place actually has wi-fi access. Wi-fi, you know, that thing Zune has which will get better w/ time ;)

Hey Cesar, I finally got my interview with Bitter Sweet, and it turned out really well (a lot better compared to The Adored). They talk about how Microsoft is helping them out and how they feel about the exposure. I dare say it might even be better than yours... http://zunelicious.blogspot.com/2006/10/zune-and-bitter-sweet-hey-everyone-we.html Let me know what you guys think of the interview and the site re-design. -Charlie P.S. Cesar, how is the interview coming?

cesar. im going to be honest- this is my goto blog for zunefo. im going to be honest with you again. i love WAS. ive seen them twice. i saw them in brookyln about 2 months ago, and it was amazing. best song- lousy reputation. awesome baseline. -donnie p.s. -im doing a package design internship here in nyc and it would be great if you hint me towards the actual process used for the "doubleshot" finish. i like it a lot.

Thanks for hosting another one Cesar! :) But once again, I have to regret that I won't be anywhere near Washington next week. :( But I'll be sure to meet up with you sometime in the future if you plan on hosting more. ;) Possibly one when the nextgen Zune is about to come out? :P - ioDi http://www.wiredzune.com

W.A.S were popular in the UK when they released their album last year but with all the new Indie bands coming through in the past year (Arctic Monkeys, The Lurios, Maccabees, Fratellis, The View etc)no one really bothers with them anymore. If all you americans love a bit of [true] Indie/ alternative then I would google for the above and spread the word. Im sure you'll love Fratellis- Cigarello The View- Superstar Tradesman SPREAD THE WORD

Cesar...I remember you talking about a limited quantity of promotional Zunes in the Gamertag Radio interview...so here is my question. Where are these Zunes? How come nobody has a Zune to review? Is the Zune MIA? http://zunelicious.blogspot.com/2006/10/where-f-is-zune-i-dont-know-if-anyone.html -Charlie

Hey everyone, I managed to get a really sweet interview with Bill Wittress from the Zune team. Check it out! http://zunelicious.blogspot.com/2006/10/interview-with-bill-wittress-hey_08.html -Charlie

Caesar, I would like to ask you a few questions regarding the Zune for my website, ZuneUser. How would I go about contacting you, and do you have time to answer them? Thanks, Omer

so Cesar, when is our next update?? =D
# October 09, 2006

Charlie

Yeah...it's been a while Cesar. I wasn't gonna say anything on account of the fact that this would be my fourth post on this entry...but I'm waiting (rather impatiently) for a new update! -Charlie

I can't wait for the zune, but there is one feature that I want to through up there and ask if it is in there, or can maybe be included .. its not that hard of a feature to include I think. I am very anal about my music and right now I just noticed that one of my songs title is not completely right, but I will forget it when I get back to my computer, so is there a way to 'tag' songs so that when I sync next time a window will pop up and display all the songs I tagged. Thanks for reading.

I WAS THERE!!! Totally out of the way man, cool place though. Granted i'm not a big soup person. But was cool all in all seeing you and the other uber-geeks that showed up with me. Hope you host another one and we get a BIG turn out.
