San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) February 28, 2012

In 2010, San Francisco fashion designer Tommy Pham set out to produce the ultimate party jeans: designer jeans that are comfortable, tough?and come off in a snap (thanks to Pham’s patented snap-button “quicky fly”). Shop owners who just began selling the jeans less than a year ago say that their customers not only like the look, details and construction of Grp.E jeans?they love the fit and the price.

?These jeans are hot!? said Deb Rohzen, owner of Campbell women?s clothing boutique Simply Smashing. ?I have Grp.E jeans in various styles hanging on a funky, cool round rack by the front door, and you can watch them pull women off the street and into our shop.?

Rohzen says her clients love the rock ?n roll vibe of Grp.E jeans, how they are stylish and fun, but not overdone. The only problem has been that, as a new line, they many not recognize the brand. But when she gets shoppers to try on the jeans, they love the look and the fit.

?I?ve carried a lot of denim lines over the years, and Grp.E jeans really stand out,? said Rohzen. ?My customers love the selection of washes and the fantastic fits, especially the skinny?s and jeggings. And they never look twice at the price tag.?

?I personally love the fit of the Grp.E skinny jeans, and the fact they come in a variety of fits for my customers? diverse body types,? said Irene Hernandez-Feiks, owner of San Francisco boutique clothier Wonderland SF, where Grp.E jeans are sold. ?I also love, love, love the pocket detail?it?s not in-your-face like you see on other designer jeans.?

Sam Garcia, owner of Underground, a San Jose contemporary clothing and music store in Willow Glen, says American urbanwear, or streetwear, is rapidly evolving from hip-hop-style pants-on-the-ground to a more polished style that emphasizes flattering fits and sophistication.

?When I first looked at Grp.E jeans, I was immediately attracted to the high-quality construction, like the double stitching inside, and the fact that they were designed in San Francisco,? said Garcia. ?Pham?s choice of classic washes and other great-looking finishes combined with great fits and elegant details make them among the best designer jeans available anywhere.?

Nicole Escudero, store manager of Los Gatos fashion boutique Kiss?tique, said, ?Grp.E jeans are high quality, fit very comfortably and tight, and are not over-styled. People love that the jeans are made by a local Bay Area designer.?

Stores that currently carry Grp.E jeans in the Bay Area include:

Wonderland SF (wonderlandsf.com) 415.641.4600

2929 24th Street (between Alabama and Florida) in San Francisco

Underground (undergroundsj.com) 408.298.4286

1342 Lincoln Avenue in Willow Glen / San Jose

Kiss?tique, Los Gatos (kisstique.com) 408.399.5477

About Grp.E Jeans

Grp.E (pronounced like groupie) is the lifestyle clothing brand launched in 2010 by celebrated San Francisco clothing designer Tommy Pham for men and women who love to work hard?and play even harder. In the Grp.E brand, Pham?the clothing designer behind the LL Cool J and G-Unit (by 50 Cent) brands of designer jeans?has created the perfect party wear for the up-all-night rockstar, with great fitting jeans that are comfortable, tough, and come off in a snap.

The “E” in the name makes it clear that Grp.E is for everyone?and everyone has the right to party and have fun while living on this green earth. The Grp.E brand communicates that everyone is at once the same and unique. Each pocket bag is printed with the phrase “Everyone’s Pink Inside” and the asterisk logo, the symbol of ambiguity, lets every wearer decide what statement they are making.

To inquire about carrying the Grp.E line or for more information about Grp.E Jeans, call (415) 891-7888 or visit them on the web at grp-e.com. To keep current on special events and promotions, like Grp.E on Facebook at facebook.com/grpes and follow them on Twitter twitter.com/GrpEjeans.

Miramar Beach, Florida (PRWEB) February 23, 2012

Prudential Coastal Properties has recently upgraded its website. PruCoastal.com now makes it easier then ever to find and sell real estate in Destin, along 30A, and all areas around and between. The new website is home to more than 9,000 additional pages, making it easier than ever to find the perfect property.

Prudential Coastal Properties has been serving the community since over a decade. Over the years the company has grown along with the community. During this time they have taken steps to remain at the forefront of technological and industry advances in order to provide the best service to their clients.

As the area around Scenic Highway 30-A has grown, the demand for homes in the area has grown as well. There are 30A condos and 30A homes for sale from Dune Allen all the way to Rosemary Beach. Individual communities along the way offer residents and visitors nightly live entertainment and weekly special events, such as, community music & art festivals, wine tastings, Yolo Board (stand up paddle) competitions, and the list goes on. Something can be found for everyone, in large part, because this area provides a small town environment with the cultural and entertainment amenities usually found in larger cities.

In the past, it has been difficult for many prospective buyers to search through the numerous residential offerings online from the comfort of their home. Websites in the past have not been designed to handle the traffic or host all of the necessary information and images associated with purchasing a new home or condo. Prudential Coastal Properties has created a new and improved dynamic site to make this process much easier while providing real-time results.

The new PruCoastal.com website gives those interested in purchasing property in the area a more efficient way to search. Searches are performed more quickly because the user can view each listing directly on the website rather than being redirected to a variety of other websites. Not only does this allow the search itself to be performed more quickly, it also allows viewers to load the information on specific homes or condos almost instantly, seeing real-time additions that have previously been visible only to those with direct MLS access.

Instead of being directed to another website, visitors are able to quickly move between properties and take advantage of the integrated search feature to view numerous pictures of individual properties, without leaving the site. This makes the process much more efficient for consumers to choose which properties they are most interested in, rather than having to make their viewing decision on descriptions alone.

However, the realtors realize that descriptions are important as well, so each property offers a full narration of the home. Additionally, the salient points such as number of bedrooms, baths, square footage, and local public schools are listed at the top of each property page to make it easy for perspective buyers to find their ideal home in the neighborhood they prefer.

The integration of more than 9,000 additional pages into the site has a benefit to those wishing to sell their home or condo, as well. Each page utilizes comprehensive search engine optimization techniques to help potential buyers find both the site and a particular home more quickly when running a routine internet search. This allows people from around the world to more easily find the property listing in the area even if they are unfamiliar with the area real estate market.

About Prudential Coastal Properties

Prudential Coastal Properties offers assistance to those interested in buying or selling real estate along Florida?s beautiful Emerald Coast. The company?s team of talented sales professional has been facilitating sales from Destin to 30A and areas in between for more than a decade.

Agents are available and ready to assist at two separate and convenient locations. Please visit http://www.prucoastal.com for locations, directions, and contact information.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 16, 2012

When LA-based indie rock band, The Remainers, were faced with translating their hit song “House” into the visual medium, they had some decisions to make. The band was approached by a number of talented directors, both aspiring and established, to work on the project. Whereas most artists hire on a professional director and production team to articulate their desired vision, the quartet took a more do-it-yourself approach. Using their own childhood toys with the assistance of modern software, they created a stop motion animation video of toys coming to life.

It took 10 weeks and over 2500 individual photographs to compile enough footage to accompany the 3 minute, 26 second song. Some days, 6 hours of shooting would yield only 11 seconds of actual film. “It was frustrating at times,” says Jason Lautenschleger, bassist for the band. “I would definitely do it again. Just give me a couple of months off.”

The hard work and heart the band put into making the video was not lost on those who saw it first. Adam Levine, lead singer of Maroon 5 and current coach on NBC’s The Voice, immediately gushed over the video on Twitter. “My dear dear friends in The Remainers have made a totally radical video for their awesome song ‘House’.” He then included a link to the video, found here on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lRbrT05l8Y

The video has also been featured as a nostalgic gem on the popular website HelloGiggles.com. Viewer comments call the video heart-warming and joyful. The band could not be more thrilled by the response, citing their favorite comments as “those who call out the toys they played with as kids.”

The Remainers have been playing together since 2009. They have a 6-song EP called Formal Fridays which is available at all major online retailers.

Mesquite, Nev. (PRWEB) February 14, 2012

A fascinating assemblage of musical talent known as BransonFest Out West at the CasaBlanca Resort is in the books. The third annual gathering Feb. 6-8 80 miles north of Las Vegas featured great entertainment and activities along with record attendance.

In what must be termed one of the most wholesome three days of the year in Mesquite, BransonFest Out West continued to evolve from an idea four years ago to a blockbuster program drawing fans from several states.

The followers came from as far away as Canada journeying the long distance in buses to enjoy the weather, hospitality and affordability of Mesquite, which is situated about 80 miles north of Las Vegas. As of the last estimate, each of the Western states was represented.

Finding positive responses wasn?t difficult during a non-stop three day scheduled that included everything from line dance classes to a session called ?Find Your Soul Mate and Make New Friends? to three nights of entertainment that drew nearly 3,000 appreciative fans.

?This is a great event,? said Larry Rosenberg, a resident of Medford, Ore., who represents Clint Ingbretson, a solo entertainer who performed the music of Kenny Rogers and Willie Nelson. ?It?s absolutely amazing. We?re excited to be here and really look forward to coming back in the future. This is very real entertainment that will bring tears to your eyes.?

Rosenberg?s wife, Carol, was equally as impressed with BransonFest.

?We were blown away with the event,? said Mrs. Rosenberg. ?The comedian (known as Harley Worthit) had us laughing so hard that our sides were hurting. This has definitely been more fun than Vegas.?

Worthit, a colorful character who hails from Branson, Mo., wore several eye-catching outfits during the three days and literally kept the crowds in stitches.

?I took a roll of toilet paper to the crap table,? Worthit told the audience during one performance. ?I also got a call from my wife who was in Vegas. She wanted to know how to get back on (Interstate) 215, so I told her she needed to eat more salads.?

Don Widdows, an energetic 80 year-old from Barstow, Calif., was attending BransonFest Out West for the first time.

?We love it,? said Widdows. I have been to Branson several times and this was great.?

Pauline Siembag, 83, added ?It was wonderful. These are good entertainers.?

Judy Hutchins of Marysville, Wash. was a first-time visitor and you can bet she will be back considering her immediate response.

?It?s just very wholesome music,? Hutchins said.

The entertainers seemed to love journeying to Mesquite as evidenced by Rich Vickers, who doubles as a master of ceremony and an Elvis Tribute Artist.

?Nobody treats us as good as the CasaBlanca,? he told the crowd on the final night. We are already in the process of planning to return next year.?

The line dancing class was taught by Surprise, Ariz. resident Jon Levant; whose class was so popular that the only problem was that the dance floor was too small to accommodate the throng.

?This has been a great event,? said Levant adding that the enthusiasm for the line dance class was excellent.

Tour coordinator Gordon Bartlett and his wife, Patty, brought a strong contingent from Lake Havasu, Ariz.

?I am really impressed,? said Bartlett adding that his company was in its 20th year. ?We brought 49 people and sold out quickly for BransonFest.?

Mesquite Mayor Mark Wier agreed that BransonFest had created a great following.

?We need to do more things like this in Mesquite,? Wier said. ?This was my first time, and it was wonderful.?

Event coordinator Sue Arko, who owns Free Spirit Vacations and Events in Gilbert, Ariz., was beaming after the final show although she was undoubtedly exhausted after presenting the extravaganza.

?This was our best year for BransonFest Out West,? said Arko, an energetic promoter who presents a similar event called Winter Break each year in Laughlin south of Las Vegas. ?I know what my clients want and the following of this year?s event is proof that we responded favorably.

?There are so many wonderful stories that come out of both Winter Break and BransonFest,? Arko added. ?For instance, one couple met in the Congo line and came back married the next year. Additionally, one guest from Chicago said events like this added five years to his life.?

Arko took an interesting look back at the creation of BransonFest.

?(Mesquite Gaming executives) Ann Sunstrum and Petra Jones came down to visit me at Winter Break several years ago,? Arko said. ?They saw the value of what was taking place in Laughlin and capitalized with BransonFest Out West.

?This is only going to get bigger,? Arko said. ?Next year?s event is tentatively scheduled for Feb. 4-7. We?re not sure of our entertainment, but I can guarantee you that it?ll be excellent.

?We are already in the process of taking this to an all new level.?

Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) February 10, 2012

Chicago-based LiveOne Group received top honors for its Crowdsurfing application last week in Cannes, France from the music industry?s premiere startup competition, MIDEMlab. The contest is held as part of the annual Midem conference, the music industry’s largest international trade event, and has been a launching pad for some of the industry?s leading technology companies.

LiveOne was one of just three companies worldwide to receive a top award, and the only American company, winning for Marketing and Social Engagement. “We?re incredibly proud to win the MIDEM award,” said Tim Ganschow, principal and a founder of LiveOne. “There were some exceptional companies competing in our category, so to be selected from that group as the music industry?s best new marketing and social engagement initiative is a big honor.?

?This year the MIDEMlab theme was about reaching, engaging and monetizing audiences,? said Anne de Kerckhove, director of Reed MIDEM’s entertainment division. ?One of the most important things we do at Midem is encourage new companies. We literally had hundreds of applications from around the world from the most innovative startups.?

Ten finalists in each of three categories were invited to Midem. All had either a music focus or had technologies that were of use to the music industry. The finalists then presented to a panel of judges comprised of venture capital firms, marketing heads of global businesses, journalists and leading entrepreneurs.

LiveOne was announced as the winner of the Marketing and Social Engagement category by Gilles Babinet, Chairman of France?s National Digital Council, during the conference?s ?Visionary Monday? event. The other winners were UK-based MPme for Music Discovery, Recommendation and Creation, and Finland’s Wild Chords for Direct-to-Consumer Sales and Content Monetization.

?We?re really impressed every year with the quality, and this year is no exception,? said MIDEM?s Kerckhove. ?Some of the names that have come through the MIDEMlab include Soundcloud, the Echo Nest, Songkick, Next Big Sound, Jammbox, Root Music and Kickstarter. These companies are fundamentally changing how music is being done now and they all started their global career here at Midem.?

“For our first trip to Midem, we couldn’t have expected any more,” said LiveOne?s Ganschow. ?We met some great people and it?s a major affirmation of our strategy. The MIDEM prize has accelerated our immediate plans and generated some very interesting opportunities that we had not envisioned at this early stage. So 2012 is shaping up to be a big year for us.?

MIDEMlab?s 2012 winners join an impressive roster of previous recipients. Last year?s winners include Root Music, whose BandPage app is a leading Facebook marketing platform for artists and which recently raised $ 16 million in venture capital; Next Big Sound, which recently raised a $ 6.5 million round and whose CEO, Alex White, was named by Forbes as one of Music?s ?30 under 30;? and Jambox, whose Discovr music app went to #1 in Japan?s app store.
