LA BBQ: Register; Let's hang out

So you might have heard about the Summer BBQ's we're going to have in LA, Chicago, and NYC. Centering around hip hop, these BBQ's are a nod to time when this music was about community; community support and community interaction. The show will have a plethora of artists, including Common, David Banner, and more. And the event is free (you still have to buy the food).

 The LA registration page is live now - go sign up. 

Also, I'm going down to LA for the show - are any readers in the LA area? Maybe we can do a Zuneinsider meetup! Maybe we can all shoot for Wednesday night? Drop a comment.

Cesar! can you drop some kind of fake news to get  rumor going. Its getting boring following the zune.

John in S.Florida

Cesar, it would be really cool to have on10.net do some interviews with other members of the Zune team.  Is that possible?  On10.net does a weekly show with XBox team members.  MajorNelson, does a weekly podcast.  It would be great if Zune had the same type of coverage.  Just an idea.

Got my ticket to the party, but no plane ticket home.. So I'm stuck in Fla. until the 15th and I'll miss the cool drive from Vegas. Sorry -C. But I'll be there at the end of the month thou... Have fun and take pics... I have a few friends that are going as well, they had their tickets way before I did... Sneaky Sneaky

There better be a BBQ event in NC because that is where we keep the real deal in BBQ.
