Mikey 1Soul, our resident Chief Brand Architect, helped to produce an event at D*Structure SF. He offered screen printing to an audience of very enthusiastic fans and supporters of the local boutique in San Francisco located in The Haight.
He used Justin.tv to live stream and record the event. Justin.tv is a great way for small business and event organizers to provide their audience with live video and the place to broadcast and share video online.

[Hello from Guy Kawasaki / How To Change The World]
This is a guest post by Scott Shane as a follow up to his entrepreneurship test. He is the A. Malachi Mixon Professor of Entrepreneurial Studies at Case Western Reserve University. He is the author of seven books, the latest of which is The Illusions of Entrepreneurship: The Costly Myths That Entrepreneurs, Investors, and Policy Makers Live By. Many entrepreneurs believe a bunch of myths about entrepreneurship, so here are ten of the most common and the realities that bust them:
It takes a lot of money to finance a new business. Not true. The typical start-up only requires about $25,000 to get going. The successful entrepreneurs who don’t believe the myth design their businesses to work with little cash. They borrow instead of paying for things. They rent instead of buy. And they turn fixed costs into variable costs by, say, paying people commissions instead of salaries.
What does one say on the very first day of a new year,
after having one year prior promised to Combat The Mundane?
One says, Hello.
Hello.
In 2007, the Parallel MVMT began to move and move things.
In brief, we started.
As an creative agency we sought to defined ourselves and our business,
going from one project to the next, and in the process
solidified a new team, a new office, a new set of extraordinary Parallels,
discovered a vast array of MVMT makers and secured a set of extra ordinary clients.
In 2008, we're proud to announce having been selected as the Agency of Record for the following clients; The People's DP [www.thepeoplesdp.com], Toofly NYC [www.tooflynyc.com], Kahlil Almustafa [www.kahlilalmustafa.com], & Freshetic [www.fresthetic.com].
"For the entrepreneurial artist or arts based organization, there is no better catalyst for business growth than the web. Everything is faster, better, stronger, and available 24/7. My team and I, all artivist with our own businesses, intend on making this art of doing business online more accessible than it's ever been. This we believe will allow artists to do what they do best; grow."
Web sites are dead.
So, Build Online Businesses... That's Progress
Parallel MVMT champions artists and arts based organizations to master an often challenging endeavor; that art of growing your business.
In todays market, it’s a great step forward to actually have a website that communicates the benefits of your art, service and/or product. Many people miss opportunities simply because they don’t have one. Parallel believes it’s a more elevated step towards progress to create a website that actually generates online business. For this reason, we created Parallel Catalyst.
Introducing :: MVMT Brunch
We're excited today!
We're having our first community brunch this Sunday, in celebration of the growth, progress, and launch of MVMT.
We've experienced the power of ritualized acts of communal eating. So we've decided to regularly create a space for staff, partners and clients to break bread (literally), inspired by the great private Sunday Brunch Sessions hosted by Michael Cordero, as well as Jullien Gordon's Purpose Finding Pot-Lucks (both in Brooklyn, FYI).
This weekend we'll be enjoying a buffet from Wafles & Dinges, including an assortment of Belgian Waffles & lots of homegrown love.
Feel free to follow us on Twitter or Join us on Facebook for an invite.
