Party: Tembloroso Creative Lab Launch

El Pasoans Take Charge of Music and Arts with Launch of Tembloroso Creative Lab

Proud El Paso creatives Jim Ward, Kristine Ward, Armando Alvarez and Brandon Silverstein have joined forces to create an online home base for El Paso visual artists and musicians with the February 14th launch of tembloroso.com. The new site will feature an online store, artist profiles, daily blog updates, a calendar of events, and more. Tembloroso Creative Lab will provide a worldwide voice for El Paso's talent.

“With the talent and networks that our local artists have developed we felt like it was a good time to use our abilities to create a place where they can both sell their goods and increase their profiles,” said Jim Ward.

To celebrate, Tembloroso Creative Lab will be shaking things up at their launch party on Friday, February 18, 2011 at Hope and Anchor, 4012 N. Mesa from 7p to 9p.

The Lisa D Show hits the road in 2011 - literally.

Hello everyone and welcome to 2011! I am thrilled to announce some very exciting developments for The Lisa D Show this year. After spending 2010 in the radio studio, I am taking the show on the road with my trusty Flip camera. I will continue to interview the people who truly inspire me; artists, chefs, writers, entrepreneurs, etc. Using the power of Facebook (1,900 plus fans and friends) and the power of thelisadshow.blogspot.com (thousands of page views) I will continue to promote and highlight minds that shine! Thank you for an amazing 2010 on the air!
