Step away from your computer, after you read this, and forget Facebook for a few hours. It will be there when you get back. Get out there and… Network. Socially. Confront your agoraphobia and rock with us. We have Amplified Life events happening all the time to help you do just that. Here is a short list of Amplified Life’s past events.

OCTOBER 2010
- Here are the details for 10.10.10
Over 1 year ago (way back in October of 2009) I decided to throw a series of showcases at The Artists Quarter on the first Sunday of each calendar quarter (because I liked the binary nature of the first & fourth quarter dates). The original dates were: 01.10.10, 04.04.10, 07.04.10, & 10.10.10. The showcase in January was a huge success. We had over 15 of the best artists in the business throw down. The lineup included: Danami, DJ Snuggles, eg bailey, Heatherlyn, HYPEL, Justin Johnson, Maria Isa, Mike Dreams, Palabristas, Shá Cage, Tish Jones, Twin Kingz, Brandon Allday of Big Quarters, and Emmanuel (E-Man of youthrive: LIVE!).
This past June during the Amplified Life x Freedom School summer school project at Stadium View, PC (Paul Collier) and I were working at the Hennepin County Juvenile Detention Center, and PC began sharing his ideas for a unique type of show featuring a carefully selected sound bed of choice Hip Hop music and rare grooves to provide an alternative to the typical nightlife, which neither of us are impressed by, or participate in. We wanted to put together an event that WE would actually go to. That same week I was approached to stage-manage an event for the Children’s Defense Fund on the same date, 10.10.10. The CDF is planning to have 10,000 people gather on the grounds of the MN State Capital the same day: 10.10.10. Thus the concept for 10.10.10 was born, a party, an alternative to the typical nightlife, and the official after party for The Children’s Defense Fund.
The daytime CDF event will feature Senator Al Franken, Senator Amy Klobuchar, St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman, Minneapolis Mayor RT Rybak, Gubernatorial Candidates Dayton & Horner, the DFY Youth Choir, youthrive: LIVE! cofounder Mike Dreams, CDF Founder Marian Wright Edelman and a keynote by the legendary Garrison Keillor.

SUMMARY:
In a market where there is literally live music to consume 7 days a week, rarely do you get a chance to have truly good music (beyond the charts & beyond dance records) selected, sifted, sorted, and spun by an accomplished Hip Hop producer.
Come join us in a comfortable place in the middle, between a rap shows and a lounge.
ADDITIONAL:
Aside from the award winning performers and musicians, it is our hope to get as many entrepreneurs & freelancers in the same room at the same time as possible, so we can all help each other.
Tickets are $10 donations and will be available at the Artists Quarter

Rodrigo Sanchez-Chavarria of Palabristas [MNSWA Urban Griots Spoken Word Awards Winner: Best Collective (People’s Choice) AND the Cultural Award. Also nominated for Best Poetry Book] and David Mendez

JANUARY 2010
- First Annual Amplified Life Showcase in January 2010
Sunday, January 10th, 2009 from 8:00pm to 1:00am (CST) at the AQ
There are a few dates booked for the calendar year, the first sunday of each quarter, and it just so happens that my birthday falls on the first. So I’m doing a small, intimate, but exciting gathering of people for this first one… some will be familiar faces and others will be new. But it is my hope to get as many people as possible, in the same room so we can all help each other “network”. Remember that word?
