The Story behind Festicket
It all started back in 2011, when two – long-time friends – wanted to organize a group trip to the world-famous festival, Coachella.

They asked themselves essential questions: 
"Should we go camping, or stay at a hotel?", "Is this hostel convenient?
Does it provide the best value for money?", "Should we go for the VIP ticket or the General Admission one?", and "Should we book local transportation?".
The planning and booking process was painful, time-consuming and very expensive!
They didn’t make it to Coachella that year.

Instead, they started on a mission: To gather the festival and live music community around a central booking platform to make things more open, aware and connected. After a few weeks of brainstorming (and quite a few Skype sessions), Festicket was born.

Motoring Style — Emerges of the hottest fashion trends of early 20th century:

Driving Gloves to Car Coats;
Automobiles helped introduced a stylish fashion to the American culture.

Whether stepping into a Lyft or the driver’s seat of our own ride, most of us don’t give a second thought to the convenience that is a car.

But when the automobile first rolled out, it changed life as Americans knew it,
opening up a new range of possibilities while at the same time making the world seem a bit smaller. And that tectonic shift rocked not only the transportation industry but, perhaps unexpectedly, the world of fashion, too.

Keep in mind that the car’s predecessor was the horse and buggy. (Yawn.)
So this monumental leap in technology warranted a sartorial change just as major, in terms of both form and function. Thus, motoring style — from driving gloves to car coats to goggles — soon emerged as one of the hottest fashion trends of the early 20th century. Full Article

Whether you were in the passenger seat or the driver’s, a car coat was crucial during the early years of automobiles, a comfortable, warm coat not prone to wrinkles was essential for men and women alike.

Car coats were often loose and oversized to allow maximum mobility and were made of heavyweight cloth, leather, or fur to keep the wearer cozy and warm. In summer months, lightweight coats of linen or alpaca wool — also known as “dusters” — were worn to shield one’s outfit from dust and dirt.

Not surprisingly, female motorists found a fashion opportunity in the car coat.

These ambitious ventures could very well change the music industry

Cryptocurrency: Is it taking over the music industry?

One of Asia’s largest music streaming companies known as KKBox,
has formed a partnership with blockchain asset management firm Bitmark.
KKBox also organizes concerts and live events.

 Together, they are creating a blockchain-based music rights platform to pay artists immediately, starting with dozens of Asian artists such as Khalil Fong and Diana Wang. Bitmark isn’t the only one with this idea.

The Los Angeles-based blockchain startup Vezt raised more than $4.7 million through token sales leading up to the launch of its royalties management platform. The Vezt platform is scheduled for a beta launch this spring. They’ve acquired almost 30 songs, including hits by Dr. Dre, Kanye West, Jay-Z, John Legend and Drake. In 2017, Drake’s song ‘Jodeci (Freestyle)’ was the startup’s first “initial song offering.” Vezt CEO and co-founder Steve Stewart told International Business Times his team is still busy building the online platform. The startup will distribute royalties while allowing users to store profits on the platform.

Many blockchain companies are launching cryptocurrency platforms for the music industry, from SingularDTV’s SingularX to the iTunes-inspired BitTunes. They target some of the biggest pain points in the industry: It can take months for everyone who worked on a song to get paid. There are dozens of middle men who chip away at the artists' earnings along the way, from concert revenue to royalties.

Cryptocurrency creates transparent systems for immediate payment processing, a solid legal support and a pragmatic outlook on rolling out products in waves.
These ambitious ventures could very well change the music industry as we know it.

Cryptocurrency Gives Artists More Power In The Music Industry

Bitcoin isn't just for geeks and hackers anymore. Rapper Ghostface Killah of the Wu-Tang Clan will launch two cryptocurrencies with the startup Cream Capital next week, inspired by bitcoin's underlying blockchain technology. In September, DJ Khaled also promoted an initial coin offering (ICO), a high-tech fundraising trend, calling digital currency a "game changer" on Instagram.

The music industry is going gaga for blockchain technology.
Here’s why: It gives artists more control over their careers than was ever possible before. 'The power of the artist, and the art in their hands'.
