  • Type properly and then I'll take you seriously.

    As far as getting a job and a girlfriend? ...I am married and make 230k a year working as a Gemstar programmer. Making a 2-minute phone call doesn't detract from that.


    Wow man, you are awesome! 230k a year AND a wife! I am seriously impressed. With that much money i'm shocked you chose to stay home and be psychotic by calling some stranger's professor instead of being out spending it on cars, hookers and PJ posters. You are Awesome!!! I can't thank you enough for directly causing Evil Beaver to be hesitant to post more info from the lecture. Have a great weekend with all that money!

    My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12

  • Jesus Christ. I honestly don't understand why people are making such a big deal about me calling up the professor. Everybody who was giving Evil Beaver a hard time and calling him a bullshitter are making me the bad guy in the situation because I chose to find out firsthand. The cel phone number was posted on a public website. I didn't mention Evil Beaver by (screen)name, and apologized to him when I found out he was upset by the call. The professor was cool with it. It was very casual. Again, everybody is making a bigger deal out of this than it should have been, and should chill the fuck out.

    (I only mentioned my wife and job because that person with the inability to type "you" and "are" brought it up first. Calling someone does not an obsessive fanboy make.)

  • lol. funny Oh sorry.........LAUGH OUT LOUD.
    How is that.

    No, "lol" is cool and doesn't necessarily constitute typing like a 14 year old.
    "U", "R" and all of that just sounds like you're spouting off Jewel song titles.

    I watched " How I Met Your Mother" w/ Jeff on Monday. He told me he absolutley talked at the University.

  • Go here and you'll find a short article on Mr. Ament's visit in the news section.

    http://www.business.umt.edu/

    This summary really underscores the academic value of Mr. Ament's contribution to our class. He's definitely a talented entrepreneur who also possesses some sick musical skills. If it wasn't for some savvy business decisions we may never have even heard of Pearl Jam. In fact, Jeff said that the band was accused by some critics of being "careerists" early on because they leveraged their networks and made decisions with business acumen.

    If you think musical talent alone is the key to success in the music industry, you're wrong. If you want an example of an incredibly talented band that flopped because of poor decisions, check out Brian Jonestown Massacre. There's an awesome documentary about them called "Dig" available at your local video rental store.

    Finally, one last plug for the Entertainment Management program at the University of Montana. More information about it can be found here:
    http://umtentertainment.org/

    and here:
    http://www.business.umt.edu/entertainment/

    Let me tell you something. The entertainment management certificate I'll be handed at the end of this year is just a cherry on top of the master's degree that I'm really here to get. But it's by far the most entertaining class on my schedule (pun intended). So if you spend hours upon hours of your life talking about music on message boards, get off your ass, fill out an application and gain admission to the University of Montana so you can start making a living on your hobby.

    Just don't come here expecting Eddie Vedder to be the next guest speaker.
