Here is a gross national product – a very unique concept – already being tried out in other nations. I really enjoyed this article and you will as well.

Here is an in-depth interview with Jason Hogg regarding Revolution Money. I think it may answer many questions that people have concerning our new company.

This is very funny and well done. It brings back a lot of memories.

I watched the game on TV yesterday and was pleased to see the Wizards play well on the road and get that first win. We have several players coming off of bad injuries and are just starting to get their legs back in shape. We are missing several key players that are now being replaced by rookies and new additions that have to be inculcated into the system. With all of that, we have gotten off to a very tough start and everyone is hopeful that we play like we are capable of and get back into the race. It is a very long season – grueling at times – but there is no time like the present to put together a nice winning streak and get back to a 500 level of play.

Bruce Springsteen is 57 years old. He played Verizon Center last night with the E Street Band and rocked the house. I first saw Bruce at Georgetown University in 1976, 31 years ago. He was a phenomenon then – placed on the covers of both Time and Newsweek magazines in the same week – heralded as the savior of rock-n-roll.

 He is back touring the country. To a full house last night, he performed like he was 26 years old. He didn’t take a breath. He powered through song after song through era after era. The sound was full. The band was tight and he was so happy to be performing in front of a live and appreciative audience. The box we were in was filled with 40 and 50 somethings, all singing along and all screaming BRUCCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! He brought us back to our youth and he made us appreciate an artist in full; someone who loves his audience; works hard; embraces his past and has respect for his fans; but who is also relevant today. Bruce Springsteen plays every show like it his last concert on earth. He makes you feel like something special is happening tonight and there is a unique connection between you and the artist. He and the band play again tonight at Verizon Center, back to back engagements. They may be the hardest, most respectful band on tour right now. We can all take life lessons from Bruce: Work hard; enjoy what you do; stay relevant; embrace the past while pushing forward into the future; and respect your consumer.

I have received several emails from our fans to encourage us to market more in Baltimore. Our research shows that when we moved from Landover to Washington, DC, the commute time expanded so much that the fan base in Baltimore essentially canceled out its interest in attending a game and voted to stay at home and watch the games on television. Hence TV ratings increased and home game attendance decreased from this demographic area.

Hence TV ratings increased and home game attendance decreased from this demographic area. Last year, we started to market in Baltimore and this season, we are investing even more in advertising; promotions; special ticket packages; better radio reception; and special group sale programs and outreach. I am hopeful that the programs are productive and we can reengage this great fan base. Wish us well in this approach.
