We have heard from Tyler and the Project 7 Fancy Foods team. The booth is up and running and the show is open for business! We wish them the best of luck.  Funny note - yesterday when Tyler was flying out to NYC, Fat Joe and Entourage had to run for the flight... singing "Annie are you okay" the whole way. Oh to have been there. For more bits of wisdom like this, follow Tyler on twitter @tylermerrick.

We came across an amazing soundtrack the other day. Great music, for a great cause. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us-TVg40ExM[/youtube]   Playing for Change is the brainchild of Grammy-winning producer/engineer Mark Johnson. Mark had a vision to bring together diverse musicians from all over the world in the effort to inspire peace through the "universal language of music." Mark's journey took him and his crew all over the world, from post-apartheid South Africa, through the Middle East, to the Himalayas and beyond. The crew recorded more than 100 musicians, who's songs were transformed into a two-disc CD/DVD called Playing for Change - Songs Around the World. The CD debuted in the top 10 on Billboard's Pop Chart in the US. People are taking notice.  Check out Playing for Change as they continue to spread their message of peace all over the world when they appear on the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien July 9th. Who knows, maybe they will decide to take bottles of our "Hope for Peace" water on tour!
