Happy Social Media Day!

Dear Magnets:

"Today we acknowledge and celebrate the revolution of media becoming social. A day that honors the technological and societal advancements that have allowed us to have a dialogue, to connect and to engage not only the creators of media, but perhaps more importantly, one another." ~http://mashable.com/2010/06/30/happy-social-media-day/

Thank you for your continued support for the growth of our online social community for theatre that is Artist Magnet (AM) on Ning, launching the theatre world into the 21st century. And thank you for joining us in our vision to build artistmagnet.com, which will connect theatre artists through shows and venues everywhere...

You may have noticed new tabs on the top of our Ning pages:

1. On the "Magnet Info" tab, you will find your shout-outs, events, and a "survival guide" of info designed to help you more easily navigate the pages of AM on Ning

2. On the "Magnet Media" tab, you will find your videos, music, and the famed AM Radio Show with recent episodes

3. On the new "Magnet Gifts" tab, you can purchase products with the "I Love Artist Magnet" logo on them.

We have also created a store through Cafepress (http://www.cafepress.com/artistmagnet) which features t-shirts with two awesome AM designs; we encourage you to check it out and buy some t-shirts.

Getting a t-shirt and wearing it around your theatre friends is a great way to spread the word about Artist Magnet and represent your love for all things theatre. Plus, by purchasing a t-shirt, you will help us achieve our goal of selling 40 t-shirts which, through our agreement with Cafepress and Ning, will help keep most of AM's features running on Ning for 1 year. To get one:

1. goto http://www.cafepress.com/artistmagnet

2. choose a t-shirt in your size, choose your color and your favorite design

3. add the t-shirt to the shopping cart and check-out

The first 5 people who get at least 1 t-shirt will also get a shout-out on the AM Radio Show PLUS complementary banners linking to your website on all the pages of the AM network for 2 months (message artmaginfo@gmail.com for details)

Thanks again for your support, and we look forward to seeing you soon on AM,

the AM Board of Directors
