As you may know,  alivenotdead.com is actually organizing TWO events ourselves, and as we mentioned in previous blog posts AnD artists are involved with a number of other events.  Here's a quick rundown -

AnD event #1 - Wednesday Feb 9th - 9pm @ The Blck Brd, Central, HK -  Artist Marketing Using Social Media Panel Session Join AnD artists and Social Media experts for a discussion how artists can use social media to promote themselves and their work and also work with companies for social media marketing. Entry is FREE,  but please RSVP here and here!  We have a free door prize from ATOMIC FLOYD as well.  Don't miss it!

AnD event #2 - Saturday Feb 12th @Sticky Fingers, East TST, HK -  Music Battle Live Show 02: Hip-Hop! When planning SMW,  we noticed that our 2nd MUSIC BATTLE live show happened to fall on the final night.  What better excuse to combine the two and make Music Battle into the official AFTER PARTY of Social Media Week Hong Kong!!!   Artists performing include KZ, K-Chek & R.X. and Justice League,  and featuring special guest performers Butterscotch and 24Herbs!

Entry is HK$100 with TWO drinks courtesy of our title sponsor, San Miguel Beer!  More info and RSVP here.
