ARMENIAN MUSIC AWARDS UPDATE: Since I've been getting a lot of emails on how we did at the music awards, I'll use this forum to give the results. Of the four categories we were nominated for, we won "Best Album Cover" for Gor Mkhitarian's Yeraz. Came up short on the other two "Yeraz" nominations and on the lone Hover Chamber Choir of Armenia nomination. It was a great experience and I made some news friends and finally met people I've been working with via email and the phone. Namely Gagik who runs Narek.com and Stepan Partamian who runs Garni music. Peter Bahlawanian, the organizer of the event could not have been more classy.

The show was pretty good with acts and guests from all over the board from John Densmore of the legendary rock band "The Doors" to Datevik, Arto Tuncboyaciyan to Serj Tankian, former "Police" guitarist Stewart Copeland to his brother Miles Copeland (Owner of Ark 21 records and former Sting and The Police producer and manager). There are a many more moments to make note of, but, the bottom line is that the AMA has created a professional forum for our community to appreciate the best in music that we all have to offer. Great to see others from the general music world enjoy the awards show as well.

The afterhours party was surreal to say the least. What a crowd and setting. Pure L.A. is what I say.

I'd like to congratulate Arsineh Khachikian on her award for "Best Album Cover" award along with Gor and Hover for their nominations. It was a night I'll never forget.

More on all of this later....Thanks for putting up with a little gloating...A great weekend indeed...
