Featured on SF Weekly (professional)

Thanks to SF Intercom, an under-hyped resource for would-be local darlings concerned with the ins and outs of booking, promotion, groupie love, and proper techniques for mounting framed platinum records on drywall. Well, some of those things. http://blogs.sfweekly.com/shookdown/2011/04/learn_sf_music_survival_tactic.php

Featured on Hypebot (professional)

SF Music Tech has become known as a great place for music tech companies to debut, launch new products and network with their peers and potential funding sources. Stefan of SF Intercom created a whitebord style hand drawn representation of the elevator pitched of the startup presented in Brian Zisk's Elevator Pitch panel. http://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2011/09/whiteboard-of-elevators-pitches-from-sf-musictech.html

Long time friend of Boing Boing Brian Zisk throws the SF MusicTech Summit, the conference at the convergence of Internet Music and Technology.
