Tues., Feb. 2nd – PCC Night
Pink Cow Connections (PCC)Tokyo’s Coolest Networking Event

Pink Cow Connections (PCC) #70: ‘Make Money Online Part II’
“Using “Online S.T.O.R.M.s” - Simple To Operate Online Revenue Streams to make money online”

Please welcome speaker: James B Allen

Our presenter for February, James B Allen, has been making his living online for the past 7 years through a combination of website creation, direct response copywriting, affiliate marketing and online educational course development. James owns and manages Genki Marketing ( http://www.genkimarketing.com), an online venture incubator and new media consultancy based in Chiba, Japan.

James refers to his internet ventures as “Online S.T.O.R.M.s” - Simple To Operate Revenue Machines, and on February 2nd he will give a an overview of 3 of these:

1) Providing services to other webmasters/businesses in need of help with their online presence - such as web-design, copywriting, content creation and SEO/SEM services.

2) Creating and monetizing niche content websites.

3) Creating and marketing info-products online.

For each of these “Revenue Machines”, James will explain what they are and how they work. Also, in order to make this information as useful as possible to everyone in the audience, James will also discuss:

1. How an individual can set these up themselves to create extra income in
their spare time.

2. How each can be scaled up into larger business.

3. How people already running their own businesses can adapt these “S.T.O.R.Ms” to generate more revenue from their current products or services.

This event is a follow up on last year’s highly successful “How to Make Money Online” - Building and Monetizing a website by Honor Dargen. February’s PCC #70 will surely be in great demand, so be sure to RSVP as soon as possible to the Facebook event page or email to cowmail@thepinkcow.com, so Traci and her staff can prepare food and seating.

The PCC is a group that comes together to help us, as creative business people, help ourselves and each other. We have guest speakers, learning programs, and networking. The PCC events are designed to “bring together people building businesses” in a creative, casual atmosphere that facilitates intelligent conversation and business connections. Great food, drinks, information and people.

from sonver( www.myspace.com/sonver )

‘Fresh from performing at Glastonbury Tallulah Rendall is off on a world
tour. She will be performing songs from her beautiful album, ‘Libellus’,
accompanied by Joanna Quail on cello. Tallulah’s music combines the
off-kilter, soulful vocals of Kate Bush and raw muscular guitar work of
Patti Smith (and prettier than both). She has been described as
spellbinding, enigmatic, raw and seductive. The Evening Standard said she is
‘One to watch’ whilst Shirley Bassey said ‘Tallulah has a wonderful voice’.

The cow bank is a unique project that is bringing a lot of joy to extremely poor people in Cambodia, Afghanistan and the DR Congo. HOPE supporters enable a cow to be purchased and loaned to a family for about 18 months. During that time, the family uses it to cultivate and fertilize their fields. They are also responsible to feed it and pay for the impregnation of the cow. During that time the cow gives birth and once the calf is weaned, the family pays the Cow back to HOPE and they get to keep the calf. HOPE then loans the cow to another family in need and the process is repeated. This process is repeated several times creating several happy families and cows!

Live painting by Daryl Bates: My personal studio practice is an ongoing investigation of formal realist painting tropes. I paint people in their routine or natural space, in unassuming postures of contemplation. I see all portraits as self-portraits revealing my interpretive mind as much as the likeness of another. I love to paint everything though, that is just my “Artist Statement” part.
Door Prizes! Special Guests! All this and tons of bovine fun!

Tues., Feb. 16th – Drinking Liberally Film Night, Live & Poker
On Feb 16th, we will screen “The Cove” at the Pink Cow in Shibuya. There will be a discussion afterwards.
Info about “The Cove” from www.thecovemovie.com follows:
Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, The Cove follows a high-tech dive team on a mission to discover the truth about the international dolphin capture trade as practiced in Taiji, Japan. Utilizing state-of-the-art techniques, including hidden microphones and cameras in fake rocks, the team uncovers how this small seaside village serves as a horrifying microcosm of massive ecological crimes happening worldwide. The Cove exposes not only the tragedy of dolphin slaughtering in Japan, but also the dangerously high levels of mercury in dolphin meat and seafood, the cruelty in capturing dolphins for entertainment, and the depletion of our ocean’s fisheries by worldwide seafood consumption. We also see how the mandate of the International Whaling Commission has been manipulated by the Japanese Fisheries Agency for its benefit and its subsequent effect on the rest of the world. 500yen donation will be taken for OPS. Come early to order your food/drink(s)
The Pink Cow supports us and the community by hosting events so please support the venue by ordering the Pink Cow’s great food and drinks at the bar! Great beers and burritos! For maps, menus and more info please check www.thepinkcow.com
Directions: If you are walking from Shibuya Station, Hachiko Exit:
Walk past the right side of Starbucks. Walk straight until you come to Tower records. Turn right at the Tower Records corner. Walk straight, go under the overpass bridge and across the large intersection street (Meji dori) and continue to walk straight. Go two more stop lights up and turn left. The Pink Cow is about 1 1/2 blocks down on the right, directly across from Aoyama Park Tower, down a quiet street a couple of blocks. It is about 5 min. from Tower Records.

Drinking Liberally is an informal, inclusive progressive social group. Raise your spirits while you raise your glass, and share ideas while you share a pitcher.
Drinking Liberally gives like-minded, left-leaning individuals a place to talk politics.
You don’t need to be a policy expert and this isn’t a book club - just come and learn from peers, trade jokes, vent frustration and hang out in an environment where it’s not taboo to talk politics.

Joining us for a terrific live show as well will be special guest Clark Paterson, visiting singer-songwriter from Nashville, Tennessee. You can check out his music at http://www.myspace.com/clarkpatersonmusic
