Good afternoon everyone,

I am sad to say that we will be rescheduling our meeting at the NoCover office tonight at 7pm due to the potential hazardous weather conditions. We would love to have everyone together but our first priority is keeping everybody safe. Hopefully the forecast is hype but we want to be cautious in case it isn't.

Amber and I would like to keep the momentum going and reschedule as soon as possible. I would like everyone to respond to Amber and let her know if Monday March 30th at 7pm or Wednesday April 1st at 7pm would work better. We will reach out and let everyone know by Saturday which day we are going to reschedule. We look forward to getting everyone together soon to begin building something great!

Have a great night and be safe! - Mark

Some of you know I lost my Uncle and godfather the day before the Cleveland Music Awards. This years event was very hard for me trying to keep it together and managing the event while feeling the lost inside. I am usually a very private person and do not like to show what is happening in my life and keep it strictly business. However I appreciate all that have reached out to express condolences I can't tell you how much it means to me. I didn't realized I needed it. My uncle was very special and a big part of my life and helped me straighten out my life when I got in some trouble when I was in high school and filled in when my father passed away. It was a tough week however having the time to be with family has helped heal the hurt and loss I am feeling. I appreciate all that gave you some time to process the loss and I truly believe he is in a better place and he will be missed. I do want to let all the bands know I forget to give out a gift to give you all courtesy of our gracious sponsor Artemis Awards and Apparel a beautiful flask for each of the bands commemorating the 2025 Cleveland Music awards nomination. https://www.facebook.com/artemisawardsandapparel. Please come by the office before Friday from 10-6pm. No Cover Media 1100 West Bagley Rd. Ste. #200 Berea 44017. Reach out to schedule pick up. Thank you -Mark
