Twin Cities Music Brunch 2/19/12

I had the privilege of tagging along with Pwelbs to the first Twin Cities Music Brunch at the Loring Pasta Bar.  The event was sponsored by CrowdNoize and Hydrive Shows.  The idea was to get some of the young lions of the Twin Cities hip hop community together to network and brainstorm.  The event was attended by talent (DJs, MCs, producers, etc.), business types (promoters, label staff, etc.) and hard-core enthusiasts (bloggers).

What impressed me most was the enthusiasm for the scene and the esprit de corps to see everyone succeed – a rising tides will lift all boats view. Everyone seemed to know each other, although some only virtually – so it was fun to see a little human touch.

My sense is the event was a success – some networking was done, some ideas were generated and most importantly some community was built.  Good luck guys – I hope this is the start of many more similar events and further growth of the TC hip hop scene.
