Jake from Converge/Deathwish Inc. gives a nod to ICON

Our buddies over at IndieHQ.com recently did an interview with longtime ICON customer, Jake Bannon from Deathwish, Inc. The whole interview is pretty good, but my favorite part is when the answer to the question about the manufacturer he likes most winds up being me. You can read the whole interview here. But I'd skip to the part about me if I were you.

Andre's wedding is quickly approaching...

...and so there was a bachelor party. Andre's getting married on July 7th, and we all went in to Brooklyn to get some Thai food and celebrate the end of his single life. Here's a picture of all the men of ICON, including our ex-employee, currently single, Matt Dallow. From left to right: Matt Dallow, Andre Bermudez, Wells Tipley, Fat Rich Warwick.

Welcome MySpace Music users

Well, it's June 1st, and that means our banners have begun for our month-long Myspace Music advertising campaign. Pretty exciting stuff. I logged on and refreshed about 150 times and still haven't seen the ad display, but Andre saw one on his first try, then again on his 10th. Maybe it some how knows that I killed my old personal MySpace account ages ago. Anyway, if you're joining us after clicking the banner ad, welcome! If you have any questions, you can give us a call toll free at 1-866-400-ICON.
