All Access Tradeshow Booth at PLASA 09

We've always enjoyed showing our pretty faces at the PLASA trade show for entertainment technology, but this year, we're debuting our new London office with a small booth. Of course, we'll still visit our beloved exhibitors at TMB! However, we're very excited to have the opportunity to introduce All Access' European presence.

We're ramping up for the tradeshow with cool logo promo materials, product spec sheets, etc. If you're heading to Earl's Court from the 13th - 16th of September, come stop by and say hello! Your friendliness might just be rewarded...

Watch out, Europe! Here we come with turntables in-tow.

Epicenter 09' (The Finished Product)

With 35,000 fans, sunny skies, an All Access stage and 12 hours of live music, the Pomona Fairplex truly was the Epicenter of the rock music scene on Saturday, August 25^th. It’s a good thing that the promoter ordered up a bunch of our aluminum barricade because the crowd really rocked out!

The impressive lineup included up & comers Hollywood Undead and Atreyu, underground sensation Atmosphere, and big name acts Wolfmother, Alice in Chains, Linkin Park, and Tool, to name a few highlights. Despite the devastating loss of Alice in Chains front man Layne Staley in 2002, the band seems to have regained its footing and played a notable set. Headlining act tool Tool also had an incredible and somewhat mysterious set during which front man Maynard James Keenan's shadow was all that could be seen of him.

All Access was responsible for creating the gigantic main stage with a large Versa roof and the Monster Energy VIP structure. If you didn't get to check out Epicenter 09' last weekend, don't worry, we got some great photos of the event and our awesome stage.

Up and Comers

Lately at All Access we've been working with some great new bands. One band we've been working with is Mayday Parade, that originated in Tallahassee, Florida in 2005. Their music is a mix between rock, emo, and indie and they have two albums entitled Tales Told by Dead Friends and A Lesson in Romantics. Click here to listen to their songs and find out more.

Another band All Access has been working with recently is Gaslight Anthem. Gaslight Anthem is a punk/indie/alternative rock band that got their start in New Brunswick, New Jersey (oddly enough near our New Jersey offices). Their first album, Sink or Swim, was released in 2007, followed by their second album, The 59' Sound, in 2008. To listen to their music and see when they are playing near you click here.

Epicenter 09'

So, if last weekend's Harvest Crusade was a little bit too much family fun for your taste, this Saturday's Epicenter 09' might be right up your alley. Not only will you get to see great acts such as Tool, Alice and Chains, and Linkin Park, you'll also get to see the lovely staging designed by your friends at All Access.

Another Year, An Even Better Success

In 2008, when our company was announced as number 4739 on the list of Inc 5000's fastest growing companies in America, we were both honored and excited. The competition was steep and yet we were still recognized as one of the best. Even with the hard economic times of this year, All Access has managed not only to remain a member of the Inc5000 but to continue to grow. We have made our way up to 4458th on a list whose top company, Northern Capital Insurance, has gone from a 2005 revenue of $476,898 to a 2008 revenue of $95.0 million. We are proud of this accolade are going to continue to work our way up the list. Click here to see Inc 5000's full list for 2009.

Harvest Crusade 2009

Harvest Crusade is an Evangelical outreach that takes place at Angel Stadium. It has been going on for twenty years, and All Access has provided the staging for many years now. It takes place this Friday thru Sunday, August 14th-August 16th and will feature nightly sermons by pastor, Greg Laurie and performances by Third Day, Chris Tomlin, Relient K, Skillet, and the Katinas. Harvest Crusade also has free admission, so if you are looking for a family friendly weekend activity be sure to check it out! Here are some pictures of the staging we did for it last year.

No Doubt 2009!

We're big No Doubt fans here at All Access! We had the privilege of building much of the band's 2009 tour set. Here are a few photos from the band's stint in LA, which were taken by our friend Tony Geria. If you are interested in learning more about No Doubt's futuristic and stylish sets, you should pick a copy of August 2009's Light and Sound America, where creative director, Ray

Woodbury describes his design idea and All Access is mentioned for our role in making his vision a reality. Click here to check out his work.

Moto X SuperMoto Finals Results

X Games 15 proved to be a highly exciting and adrenaline filled event. While All Access's rider Derek Costella did not steal one of the top three spots, he held his own he and came in 8th with a lap time of 1804.80. He finished right before our former All Access rider, Micky Dymond, who had a lap time of 1807.41. Ivan Lazzarini, the winner, is from Italy and finished had a lap time of 1772.71.

Unfortunately, James Stewart was not able to compete in the race due injuries he sustained during Friday's practice. James Stewart is a great competitor and his fellow riders missed his presence at The Moto X SuperMoto Finals. However, with the exception of James Stewart's injury, the race went on without a hitch.

We can't wait until next year's X-Games!! We're sure that Derek will be back next year, and he'll be faster than ever.
