TEDxNYED is looking for music to play during the conference. Could it be yours?

TEDxNYED is looking for music to play between speakers, during the day around the hall, and well, whenever we need it. Embracing free culture, and being sure not to violate copyright, we're looking for musicians or bands that would love to have their music played during our future-thinking conference. Mostly we'll use the music between speakers, but some of it may pipe out over our live stream and may make it into our videos which will be featured on TEDx's YouTube channel, and might even make it to the big show at TED.com.

Do you want to freely license us your music? Do you know someone who does? However it might work, put them in touch with me, leave a comment here, Twitter me, e-mail me at: arvind AT tedxnyed.com - just reach out.

Looking forward to seeing what the network comes back with.

p.s. we're an independently organized TED event.

Looking for Service to Handle Non-profit Event Registration

Our school puts on an annual benefit, and would love to sell tickets online, and have families be able to process credit cards via the site. There a few companies that offer such services, but often as seemingly steep per-ticket prices. Eventbrite (which I've used before) is a little pricier than we want, but feature rich.

I've been investigating Events.org and Brown Paper Tickets, too. Brown Paper Tickets looks quite good, but might not be the style we need. Their prices are very good.

Anyone have any great ideas?
