--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------! Here are the 10 Rules of MASS TRANSIT ARTISTRY!! I have been working on compiling these Rules for 2 years and hope it is informative and helpful to other fellow MT Musicians. --- FOR A FULL COPY OF THE RULES WRITE TO: THEO@THEOEASTWIND.COM ------------------------------------------------- 10 RULES and GUIDE TO MASS TRANSIT ARTISTRY 1. RESPECT 2. COMMUNICATE with your fellow MT-Artists Note: that there will always be someone who can’t be communicated or negotiated with, sometimes that can be asset as well!!(tough, most of the time it is just annoying.) Most of the time you will find a way to communicate with anyone if you think about it long enough or run into them often enough. 3. BE POLITE 4. OBEY THE LAW 5. DO NOT APPEAR INTOXICATED 6. BE DISCRETE 7. PERSEVERE 8. INSPIRE 9. HAVE A BOTTLE OF WATER, USE THE BATHROOM 10. MOVE AROUND by: THEO EASTWIND c,2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEWS!! Theo on NYC Soundtracks ------------------------ The NEW Album "Acoustic Tracks" Recorded in the Subway will be out soon. It is currently being mastered. MORE UPDATES ON "ACOUSTIC TRACKS" SOON! ------------------------ The Album The O has been out since April 2006, I, participated, dominated and won Fox 5's Subway Idol competition! We now add the title of "Fox 5's Subway Idol"® to our list. Check out the video and live the dream again and again...:) Competed against 100 musicians and won the Williamsburg Live Singer Songwriter Contest. I was up against some really awesome musicians check the website WLSSC.com for all of them. The (NYC 2005) Transit Strike sucked,... At least I had fun on Good Day New York check out the video! FREEDOM! to add to our Fox 5 news appearances, Ginger Rush (lawyer for the Arts) and I were both featured in a special piece by reporter Anne Craig. The piece was dealing with the long battle for clarity and justice of First Amendment Rights between Subway Performers and the MTA/NYPD. We were speaking out for all Subway Performers rights to play and sell their (own) music without the threat of being intimidated, given a ticket and or arrested in some cases (I was). For some reason the MTA and NYPD seem to be living in the dark ages on this issue and not on the same page as current Federal Law states (and specifically told NYC) that all artists may sell their own products without a permit, freedom of speech, freedom of expression. It broadcast on the 10 O'clock Fox 5 news last year and its fallout forced a police-captain into early retirement. MSNBC.com did a brilliant article about Subway performers (including me of course) and it has some great pictures, check it out, I really love that piece. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5682773 The documentary New York- Musik im Untergrund (Music in the Underground), which features yours truly and four other subway musicians, presented by Armin Toerkell and Mica Stobwasser and broadcast on ARD (German state television), was just awarded one of eight media prizes for 2003 assigned by the RIAS Berlin Kommission. This film continues to circulate across Europe. Most recent press include: The New York Post, Metro, Block Magazine, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (Germany), Manila Standard (Philippines), So-en Magazin (Japan)... and more. Contact Mia Mind Music to obtain a presskit The 13th child, Legend of the Jersey Devil, featuring my song, 7500 from the album One, is still available to rent at Blockbuster, if you dare. This some of the latest and greatest... Check the Concert-page for upcoming gigs, I believe there are many to come Yes, I am still playing the subways regularly, stumble upon me playing on the platform or come catch one of my shows, either way, be in touch.
