Grand Entertainment & Music, Inc. Announces Big Lou Is to Perform at the 2007 A & R Power Summit
Grand Entertainment & Music, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: GMSC) is pleased to announce that Big Lou has been invited to perform at the 2007 A & R Power Summit, hosted by Shady Records (Eminem's record label) and Urban Threshold Enterprises.
On Sunday, April 15, 2007, Big Lou will be performing at the second largest hip hop summit in the country. All major record labels such as Island/Def Jams, Universal, Atlantic, Shady, Motown, Interscope, J. Records, Geffen, Warner Bros., and Bad Boy will be in attendance as Big Lou performs on the main stage Sunday night. Big Lou was also invited to be a part of a question and answer panel during the day. Lou will be interviewed by A & R representatives from every major record label, reporters from major hip hop magazines and internet sources, and by a few well known DJs. He was invited to join the panel to discuss how he made his amazing rise in the rap industry.
The A & R Power Summit started four years ago. The purpose behind the conference is to offer rising talent an opportunity to get their music heard, and to gain valuable information and feedback from some of the industry's top leaders. The Summit brings together unsigned artists, independent record labels, publishers, managers, fashion executives, film makers, producers, internet companies, distributors, booking agents, journalists, retailers, songwriters, and more. The A & R Power Summit is a music conference, as well as an informational seminar, and an entertainment showcase. For more information and a complete list of invited guests, please visit: http://www.hiphoppalace.com/pages.cfm?ID=614.
"This invitation is huge," stated Frank Urban, Big Lou's manager. "This is the biggest hip hop summit in the Northeast part of the U.S. All major record labels and executives will be in attendance. The exposure Big Lou is about to get is unthinkable and unheard of for such a new artist. Lou was invited to participate on the panel because of his amazing and quick rise in the industry. By the end of this Summit, every A & R representative, every major record label, and everyone in the hip hop industry will know Big Lou and his music. This is a major break for Lou's career, and it's only the beginning."

Well, maybe I will become a paying customer if I can ever make some money off these stocks :) Thanks again for your help!
Thanks again DJ! Looks like I need to have a subscription to this site for the picture to appear :( Thanks for your help!
Jason
Thanks for the help on my picture DJ, however when you sent me the message, I could not see the code, only the picture :) Is the code I have in there now correct?
I am out too! Good luck to everyone!
LII anyone?
Nice movement today! I am new to this stock and am looking forward to the future. Anyone have the LII for this stock?
who's side is the sec on anyway?
OUTCH!
I am in the cleveland area however I am so upset about this scam I do not want to waste the time going there.
Would change my mind if I could recoup some of my financial loss I have had.
IMO
This is a shame! The song Overdrive is great in my opinion. For all the so called marketing channels that RMD had, it sure looks like they did not even try to make this a success. I, like most of you I'm sure, am very disappointed in everything involving this company. IMO
no what happened?
the way I see it, this is great positive information and shows that G is still working and has not "Given up the Ship". The pps will come in my opinion. We need to build off of this and thing should be fine. IMO
Glad I held!!!
Good work G!
AWSOME!
This is a great start to the new year.
Thanks for the reply. Should have gotten out when the getting was good. I am not much of a gambler so these types of games make me very nervous.
Anyone know why there is no action with our stock today?
Listened to Roc's Single overdrive yesterday...the complete song and must say, it is very good. I have always been told that I have expensive tastes and usually when I like something, it is really expensive. Well, I like this single which means it has potential in my opinion. Need more marketing behind it or something.
I do not see the connection to RMDG....Did i miss it some how? Please explain
Have a safe trip!
I agree, there is pleanty of money to be made on this stock/company. Patience will pay off. IMO
I am in this long. I for one have an average purchase price of .00115 but think that this company has the opportunity to get into the pennies for sure.
I was wondering if anyone knows what the share structure must look like to move from the pinks to the otc market. I have been thinking about this and wonder if there needs to be a reduction is shares ( share buy back ) in order for the company to move. If that is the case, the G porvided us with some great infomration in his PR's that mentioned going to a the otc exchange. IMO
I am a Mechanical Designer and use Autodesk products as well.
I am supprised that yesterdays actions has not created more of a buz around here. Where is everyone at?
Good morning Outlawbabe!
RMP.....You still with us?
It would be nice to see a buyback. That would show the strength in the company.
Does anyone have a LII?
I only have one more post after this one because of my membership (Free) :)
Outlawbabe: Could you please post the LII?
I agree, today's volume is interesting. We have not seen this kind of volume in a while. Hope it is a good thing.
wow art is here!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did I did. Is the LII looking any better?
did i just see the 8's?
I have always wanted to get into rental houses however never had the time (so far) to devote to maintaining them.
Volume usually is a good sign of a run, in my opinion.
Vacant rental?
I did have a wonderful Turkey Day! Started the day off with the annual trukey trot, then enjoyed all the home cookin!
Did you have a good holiday?
Good morning outlawbabe! Thanks for the LII.
