OFFICIAL BOOK SIGNING PARTY on Friday, Dec. 4th at COUTURE HOLLYWOOD!

We’ve got a BIG signing party coming up this FRIDAY, DEC. 4th at COUTURE HOLLYWOOD! Here’s author Michael Tullberg’s latest blog post that has all the details!

*Whew!* Thanksgiving week is over with, and I have a lot to be thankful for, that’s for sure. I have a lot of people who believe in what I do, and more people every day finding out about “DANCEFLOOR THUNDERSTORM“. This past week in particular was very productive and hectic, because the book got a big spike in attention and sales, thanks to back-to-back web articles from two huge Internet outlets! The first was from the mother of all dance music, the legendary Mixmag in the UK. Mixmag has been around longer than any other dance music magazine in the world; they are the premiere global authority on electronic music. They were they first in, they’re the last one standing from the old guard, and they’ve always reigned at the top of their field, both print and web-based. So when you get their official stamp of approval for your work, that means you’ve accomplished a lot. The dance music community in Europe and the UK jumped all over this, re-running the gallery story loads of times. Lots of domestic outlets reported on it, too. A print article is in the works as well–will update you on that when the time comes. Here’s the link to the original story:

http://www.mixmag.net/read/the-time-before-edm-blog

Now, normally getting a big shout-out from an organization like Mixmag would be enough complimentary showcasing to last a whole week–except nobody told the people at Buzzfeed that! The very next day after the Mixmag piece came out, Buzzfeed released their own image gallery of my work, stirring up even more Internet reaction. Their approval charts were extremely favorable, which means the word got spread around to a lot of other Internet outlets who normally wouldn’t have found out about the book. Plus, there have been more requests from other web pages to provide them with pictures in the wake of this article–quite nice! And, it looks like we may have secured our seventh retail outlet, and we’re fishing for more…a very big fish, in one case. Again, details to follow…here’s the Buzzfeed article for now:

And to top it all off, I was also shooting most of the week either for Getty, or for the VRtuality show that went off at Avalon yesterday. So I’m also thankful for this day of rest so I can recharge and get ready for another busy week, which culminates on Friday with my Official Book Signing Party for “DANCEFLOOR THUNDERSTORM“! That’s gonna be a killer show, with Steve Loria, Eve Falcon, Reza Gerami, Riley Warren and Danny B spinning! Plus, there’s NO COVER! That’s right, free admission all night long! plus there’s gonna me free drinks for the first hour thanks to some great sponsorship from Serpent’s Bite Whisky, too. And I’ll be there selling and signing books! It’s gonna be a great night, so I hope you folks invite who you like and bring yourselves down to Couture Hollywood, which is at 1640 Cahuenga Blvd. in L.A.
SEE YOU THERE!!!
