The Sway, Hive Tour and How to Get Involved

Just a little bit more about the #HiveTour here and fill you guys in and see what you think and who is down to share and support us on this quest.

Since I started with my Ktown brand my primary focus has been independent arts and entrepreneurs. There are so many amazing people I have met here in Jacksonville, FL with talent that deserves to be seen, heard and more. I have spent a lot of time hosting indie shows, vendor events and more hoping to help with their exposure all while building a name for myself. I blog here and there, go live from shows and love to just have fun with it all.

About 2 years ago my husband and I started dating and everyone fell in love with us as a couple and asked for us to do a joint project together. We are often invited out to various concerts, festivals and so much more so we came up with The Sway (meaning: The Kingdom) as an idea for covering events while we are out and about. Often times we will go live from events and of course post pics and videos as well. We want to do more though and we want to start right here in Jacksonville, FL, take it on the road and then back here to Duval where we want to open our own business (more on that in a later blog).

For now though let's discuss this show a little more and the tour. We'd like to grow The Sway into a monthly talk show, with various segments on life, art, entrepreneurship, mentoring and community outreach. We have various contributors from all over to bring you talent, techniques and more from bloggers, teachers, small business owners and various professionals across the country. We want to bring them on to highlight the talent we have across this beautiful and diverse country.

With no concrete time set in place (yet!) the next step would be to take it on the road. We are creating a business plan to buy an old school bus or RV and convert it into a mobile home/studio. This would take us on the scene to events, we can bring artists on-board for interviews, chefs to whip up some meals and become a moving mural created by artists everywhere as we head cross country to spotlight creative types, entrepreneurs and more across the states while still having contributors send in their updates as well.

We know you want to support indie, find out about different new projects and more so that's what we'll be here to do! You can be in Colorado supporting a Musician in Virginia or in Cali buying food from a Florida Chef, and in Maine hanging up art from a Texan. It's all about love, support and looking for ways to connect us humans through our passions. We want to be honeybees (there will always be references towards bees) dripping a little bit of sweet new things to you all on a regular basis and helping improve communities and connections all over.

We will be looking to feature/highlight in the following areas over the next few months:

Artists (All types-music, paint, photo, etc.)
Chefs (They make art too!)
Small Business Owners
Mentoring Program Directors & Mentors
Art Program Directors
Event Hosts/Bloggers/Personalities
Models & Actors

Don't see your skill listed but think you can contribute? Still please reach out!

Gluten-Free on I-95

I love traveling.. road trips, flying and even by boat. I just love to go. I didn't travel a lot as a kid.. Until I was 10 the only states I'd been to were my home state of Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia and Washington DC. By the time I'd graduated I had added North Carolina and Kentucky. I live in Florida now but my first time here was in 2002 and at 38 years of age I have only added South Carolina, Georgia, Texas, New York (airport only) and Connecticut to the list as well as The Bahamas (Freeport) and Cuba. I still have a million places I want to go.. Now though it's all a bit trickier because of my allergies.. I have been diagnosed as allergic to gluten, cats, pine trees and a few other things. I seem to have reactions to other things and need to be tested for more in addition to other health issues I have that food can complicate. This makes traveling HARD. I have to be careful at every place I go.. eating at events is completely out of the qu...

Lost Dreams

It's 2011, times are tough and everyone is out here grinding to get to the top... So many have lost their jobs due to the recession and have to take jobs doing whatever comes their way just to have food on the table and a roof over their head. Not many really want to flip burgers or work the local department store register but if you want to survive we do what we have to do. It's how the country works... if there was noone flipping burgers, where would we get our food? What does this have to do with dreams? well a lot.... As a child one of the questions we are asked most often is what do you want to be when you grow up? Some ponder this and reply with whatever their mommy or daddy does, others reply doctor or fireman, some just don't know. We are told we can do anything! We can concure the world if we work hard, pay attention and try.. then real world hits... you gradute school and have more bills than zeros on your check, you get pregnant, or hurt yourself and lose a s...

Our Mail System

I know there are millions of hard working postal workers making sure people get their letters, bills, parcels and more each day. They venture out into the cold, heat, rain, snow and more to do a job and I appreciate it. That being said isn't it time for a change? It's 2011 and we are still depending on a service that quite honestly is slow, undependable and usually carries more junk to out door than needed materials. We have no way to track most mail which means no way to verify it was sent, it was received or if it was taken somewhere along the way. If you can't tell already I'm waiting on mail, not just any mail either... I'm waiting on money. A check I usually receive every other Friday has not came, and its now the following Tuesday. Of course this check was sent VIA our lovely unites states postal service so where is it now? Noone knows.... I've been told as of today I have to allow 14 days before they will stop payment and send a new one. blah... ...
