The Great American Food and Music Fest (http://www.greatamericanfoodandmusicfest.com), a one-day event celebrating the rich traditions of classic American fare and music, will be held at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California on Saturday, June 13, 2009. It will be hosted by chef and Food Network personality Bobby Flay.
At the festival legendary purveyors of classic American food, celebrity chefs and extraordinary musicians will come together for the first time ever, at an affordable price. Some of the most acclaimed culinary establishments in the country will be on-site to serve their specialties, including: Pink's Hot Dogs (LA), Barney Greengrass (NYC), Graeter's Ice Cream (Cincinnati), Southside Market Barbecue (Texas), Anchor Bar (Buffalo, NY; inventor of Buffalo wings), and Tony Luke's Cheesesteaks (Philadelphia). In addition, some of the Bay Area's best food establishments will be featured along with great American wines and specialty cocktails.
The culinary presentations will be augmented by live music from Little Feat, Marshall Crenshaw, and jazz, blues, and swing outfit Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, among many others. The full line-up will be announced shortly. In addition to Flay, there will also be a gathering of other food world notables, including the star of the Food Network's "Diners, Drive-ins, & Dives" Guy Fieri.
"I am thrilled to host an event that combines two of America's greatest pleasures. Serious eaters will celebrate and enjoy a sampling of the best foods from across the country, watch their favorite celebrity chefs in action, and listen to an array of great bands," says Great American Food and Music Fest co-creator and Seriouseats.com founder Ed Levine. "To be able to chow down on chili dogs from Pink's, and Texas barbecue from Southside Market, without getting on a plane, is a seriously delicious notion."
Tickets for the event will be available for sale beginning April 5th and can be purchased at LiveNation.com, Blockbuster Video locations, and the Shoreline Amphitheatre box office. There are a number of ticket options available for the event to make it accessible to everyday food lovers without breaking the bank.

Thundercruise To Sail April 18th!!!
There are Wine Tasting Events and there are WINE TASTING EVENTS! Introducing Gary Vaynerchuk’s Thunder Cruise, the most over-the-top, spectacular Wine Cruise ever produced.
When Gary puts together an event, he makes it memorable, and the Thunder Cruise is no exception. We start with one of the most anticipated new cruise ships in the world, the MSC Orchestra and add some great Caribbean ports like Phillipsburg, St. Maarten; St John's, Antigua; Nassau, Bahamas and Key West. Then we toss in an incredible array of special Events, Parties, Seminars and Wine Tastings all hosted by Gary to produce an experience you will never forget. Gary wishes to extend his personal invitation to join him on this memorable 7-day journey of great wines and the finer things in life!
THE “MOTHER OF ALL WINE TASTINGS”
Gary, with the help of a group of his favorite winemakers, has carefully designed the Thunder Cruise Grand Tasting for you, his special guest. Comparable to some of the largest wine super-tasting events held shore-side, this floating wine extravaganza would cost HUNDREDS, but is included in the Thunder Cruise price. But that is just the beginning, as Gary has arranged for at least 5 other wine and champagne tasting opportunities over the course of this 7-Day journey. Learn, sip, enjoy!
ENTERTAINMENT ABOUNDS
Cruises are known for exceptional entertainment and unique activities. The Thunder Cruise has that and more. During the day,the active crowd can enjoy a self-directed workout in the world-class Gym or join one of the many organized fitness classes that are provided daily. Take a swim, relax in the sauna or enjoy one of the many soothing massage or body treatments in the Spa.
After dinner, the MSC Orchestra comes alive with live music, dancing, Broadway and Las Vegas-style shows, comedy, casino action and other activities designed to get you involved in the cruise experience. You make the choices and stay as busy or as relaxed as you wish…after all, this is your vacation!
ALL INCLUSIVE, ONE LOW PRICE!
Cruises are the best deal in travel because you can have it all for one low price…Meals, Activities, Entertainment, Luxury Accommodations and you only have to unpack one time. Combine that with the Thunder Cruise special events, parties, wine tastings and seminars provided by your host, Gary Vaynerchuk, and the deal is even better. You can’t afford to stay home!
This is a “can’t miss event" for Vayniacs and All Wine Lovers…space is limited, BOOK TODAY!
50th Law Tour Takes Shape
50 Cent and Robert Greene have written a “bible” for success in life and work in their new book, The 50th Law. The two will embark on a 8 to 10-city speaking and workshop tour in September, 2009 where lessons will bridge the street and corporate words. Those with dreams and aspirations of making it in today’s environment of constant power struggles can get a “road map” from one of the most successful hip-hop entrepreneurs in history.
Robert Green is the international best-selling author of The 48 Laws of Power which has now sold well over 1 million copies (unheard of for a business book) and been translated into 17 languages. The title has become the "bible" for survival in the Hip-Hop world since it was first published. Each event will include a guided Q&A with the audience, followed by a book signing and networking reception.
