Guests Ahoy!

Starting Monday, August 3rd you can look forward to seven days of guest author posts here at Adaptistration. Typically, I put together several posts in advance of heading off on vacation but it seems like high time to open up the forum to a series of guest authors and let them blog about whatever they want. I’m not going to ruin the surprise by revealing their identities or topics in advance but I will offer the following clues…

1. None of them are regular bloggers.
2. All of them work in the orchestra business in some fashion.
3. One is an orchestra CEO.
4. Some of them travel around the globe for their work but they aren’t full time conductors or soloists.

I can promise you’ll be processing material that hasn’t been examined at Adaptistration previously and I think most folks will be moved to submit a comment with observations and/or questions. any guesses on what you can expect?

In the meantime, check out the latest round of articles in Molly Sheridan’s Blogger’s Bok Club series. It’s a fascinating review of The Whuffie Factor: Using the Power of Social Networks to Build Your Business by Tara Hunt and each article considers the self-described premise of how the performing arts are embracing technology and social networking for better and worse. Regular Adaptistration readers already know how much of a dog-with-a-bone issue this is and the ensuing discussion over at Casa de Sheridan has me thinking (and writing).

Stay tuned…
