|
[02.06.13]
Posted by: Travis From: Midnight Nightlight So, we finally heard back from the IRS. Unsurprisingly, they are asking for some more info... so, while we're putting that together for them to review, we are enjoying the comforting thought that at least we weren't rejected outright. Hopefully we have a final decision here in a couple of few. (Then we can really do some fun stuff) |

[12.17.12]
Posted by: Travis From: Around So. The IRS website says they are working on exemption applications received Feb '12... we sent ours in April '12, so they should be getting around to ours by Feb '13, right? maybe? |

Posted by: Travis From: The Office Actually, kind of embarrassed that it took this long, but beautifulmistakes.org is a thing now. For the moment, it just mirrors the existing site, but I plan to use it to talk more about the charity side of our work. (yay) |

[10.04.12]
Posted by: Travis From: The Office Give our latest podcast a listen, wherein I talk to one of my favorite bands. I sit down w/ Arone and Aron from Buke and Gase to talk about their distinct brand of music, topics that might concern someone trying to get started in music making, and why wasabi peas and flamin' hot cheetos are delicious. (still can't believe I got to talk to them) |

Enjoy! |

Posted by: Travis From: The Office We’re starting something of an experiment today; we now have a real life phone number that you can call at anytime and leave us a message. Want to read us a story? Or sing us a song? Or tell us how much our last podcast sucked? Give us a call at (972) 535-MIST (6478) and you’ll have about 10 minutes to record your message. Maybe we’ll include it on a podcast. Or maybe we’ll get back in touch and we’ll do a full-blown feature. Who knows? We’re crazy like that. Cheers! |

[09.04.11]
Posted by: Travis From: The Office This week, Friend of the Cause Chris Hamm joins us to do a few readings and discuss. As conversations with Chris tend to do, we venture all over the place. This episode isn't explicit, but there is some language towards the end, and some discussion about drinking, so maybe listen through this before you play it for your kids. Enjoy! |

[08.12.11]
Posted by: Travis From: The Lab Today we are ready to announce our next big project; a podcast companion to the BeauMist Magazine.  So THAT's what it was for The podcast will feature much of the same content from future issues of the magazine but will go deeper in depth with the artists, sometimes bringing in other media that we just can’t capture on the printed page. The cast will also give you a seek peek at whatever it is we are working on for upcoming issues. We haven’t hammered out an exact schedule, so releases could be a little erratic for a while here, but the general idea is: *1 month of previews of magazine content before the release of a new issue *1 month of a previews of companion content when the issue is released *1 month with the full content As an added bonus, future issues of the magazine will have a code (or something) in them that you can use to unlock the full versions of the content a month before they would release in the regular schedule. We’ve submitted the cast to iTunes and Zune for review, but have no idea how quickly that process can be finished. So, when we have more news, we’ll let you know. For now, you can check out the first episode Here, or you can manually add the RSS feed to your software of choice using this address (http://www.beautifulmistakes.com/BeauMist_PCFeed.rss) Happy listening! |

Posted by: Travis From: the library For those of you near the Dallas/Plano area (as we are), we are having a small sort of event today. Earlier this morning, I dropped off a handful of copies of the first issue of the magazine at three nearby libraries. The first few people to visit the locations can pick a one up for free. The others can take some time to enjoy some unique offerings at each library. The locations are: Frisco Public Library 
Located inside the Frisco City Hall building, this is a really nice library with a couple levels of books, quiet study rooms, and an impressive dvd collection. Outside you can also enjoy some public art displays. Hopefully, the magazine will be added to their collection soon. Haggard Library 
A pretty large location near the middle of Plano. It has some nice architecture and a rather large selection. Schimelpfenig Library 
Kind of hard to pronounce, but quite a nice location. If you get tired of books, you can play Kinect or Wii during the day or go for a bike / run on the nearby Chisholm Trail Enjoy |

Note: you don't *have* have an account to order, but it sure would help us track you down if there are any issues. Cheers! |
