Today is July 13, 2009, and this is a few day edition of reading all that we read.

We’ve been dropping Ari Herstand’s name a fair amount lately, and for good reason.  As an artist we think he’s doing an aweful lot of things right in the new industry, not least of which is cutting personal vids that are both well done and very fan friendly.  Here’s yet another edition of Ari TV, Herstand in NYC.

Check out all this local and industry news:
