From Alum, Celeste Podojil – Music Business Opportunity
A good friend of Celeste is in the music business! She advised this is a great opportunity for some of our talented past and present AFC to get in the spotlight and earn some cash too.

Please see from her friend:
As many of you know, our Eagle Ear http://www.eagleear.com/ team has recently launched a growing online music community called CurtainCallTV.com http://www.curtaincalltv.com/ http://www.curtaincalltv.com/... where Artists and Music Fans can view and upload music videos, battle, comment, rate and interact on the site... Both Artists and Fans can set up their profile as an interactive EPK, gather points to achieve Rock Star status, eventually redeem points for free giveaways, and so much more!

In an effort to populate our website, we've just launched a $2500 Cash Prize http://curtaincalltv.com/contest.php contest for the Artist who gathers the most votes across video battles, and a free autographed Guitar by Adam Levine of Maroon 5 worth $2000 http://curtaincalltv.com/contest.php for the Music Fan who continues to vote for active battles throughout the contest period. This contest begins Monday, March 30, 2009 and ends Friday May 30, 2009.

We at Eagle Ear would be indebted if you not only check out the site for yourself at http://www.curtaincalltv.com/, but please forward to anyone and everyone you know! And seriously, Please! Anyone and everyone you know... especially musicians interested in making a buck.

We eagerly accept any and all feedback as well, as we are a new company trying to get our feet off the ground. In an effort to raise capital for the website and coordinating record label, Eagle Ear is also plotting a Rockumentary Series where monthly Battle winners will be flown to L.A. for a week long rendezvous of shopping, performing at local hot spots, glamorous dinners, nights out on the town, all while shaking a few famous hands... and it all starts with the website! We plan on discovering our talent and talent winners through User Generated Music Videos, where artists launch their own careers.

So get to it! And let us know what you think...
Thanks so much!
Jennifer Young
