Hello, and welcome to the Puget Sound E-Publishing & Book Promotion Group!

Taking a startup from idea to IPO has taken on mythical proportions.  Many dream the dream, with hopes of launching the "next big thing". We are a community of entrepreneurs, technologists, academics, fin …

House concerts and small venues are a great way to experience your favorite musicians in a more intimate and informal way. At a house concert there is no bad seat, because you are all just sitting in the living room while the musician plays just feet from you. Intermission usually includes chatting to the musician about what inspires them or why they wrote a particular song. There is usually shared food and a great opportunity to meet your fellow concert goers. Unlike big venues you really get t …
