More than 20 arrests were made at the University of Texas campus in Austin on Wednesday, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. The scene at the University of Southern California's University Park campus has calmed after major activity erupted during a demonstration earlier on Wednesday. Many of the protesters "do not appear to be affiliated with USC," he said. Texas Department of Public Safety said earlier that more than 20 people were arrested after the Palestine Solidarity Committee organized a walkout and occupation of the school's South Lawn. All lanes on Newport Coast Drive between Pelican Hill Road North and Vista Ridge were shut down until further notice due to the investigation, police said on X, formerly Twitter.

The self-described "social live media platform" which has powered virtual concerts for Tame Impala and Isaiah Rashad just secured $12 million in Series A funding, led by Forerunner Ventures. To date, the company has sold some 1 million tickets for live online events for artists including Tame Impala, St. Vincent, Halsey, Kygo and Christina Aguilera. Since the creator economy is so large and nuanced, Mehta says his team is helping artists and performers become more creative about what they can offer their superfans — and the moment’s value prop. “You have to completely rethink the way you’re approaching different types of creators,” he says.

"I don't walk around this building being worried about a motion to vacate," Johnson told reporters on Saturday. "I've done here what I believe to be the right thing and that is to allow the House to work its will. And as I've said, you do the right thing and you let the chips fall where they may." The rebellion puts Johnson's job at risk if Democrats don't step in to save him if the group of hardliners forces a vote. But Greene hasn't given a timeline for if and when she plans to force a vote.

The platform makes money from a 10% service fee on the customer, and to date, has processed over 1 million tickets across 168 countries and an additional 44 territories. Artists either work closely with the Moment House team to produce concerts, or use a self-serve option, which lets them create a Moment, set their price, add a merchandise bundle, go live and get paid on their own. Moment House gives artists 100% of ticket and merch sales, and makes its money through a 10% service fee tacked on to ticket sales. Mehta says that on the high end, artists are making multi-millions from their Moment House ticket sales, and to date, the company has processed 1 million tickets across 168 countries and an additional 44 territories.
Russia has been gathering momentum both on the ground and in the air, threatening a summer offensive that could crack the Ukrainians’ lines and threaten their major cities. These include Kharkiv — the major city nearest to the Russian border — and possibly Kyiv itself, forcing the government of President Volodymyr Zelenskiy out of the capital. Texas state troopers in riot gear broke up a group of protesters at the University of Texas at Austin after a demonstration Wednesday. The Austin Police Department told CNN they are assisting the University of Texas Police Department with transporting arrested protesters. Shaimaa Zayan, operations manager of CAIR Austin, stressed that law enforcement should prioritize de-escalation and dialogue when handling peaceful protests.

To date, the company has processed 1 million tickets for live online events for creators and artists including YouTube gamer Jacksepticeye, Tame Impala, St. Vincent, Halsey, Kygo and Christina Aguilera. Those are just a handful of the virtual concerts that Moment House has powered over the past several months, and the self-described “social live media platform” just secured $12 million in Series A funding to do even more. Moments are livestreamed and interactive, so they’re well suited to improvisational, chatty podcasts with devoted listeners. Bart Coleman, Moment House’s head of comedy, described the events to me as having “‘anything can happen’ energy.” Past Moments have included interactive trivia with audience members and a live merch fundraiser where hosts made a drinking game out of the milestones reached.
With its geofencing capabilities, low latency streaming technology, ticketing security and opportunities for merchandising, the platform provides a space where artists can simulate the feeling of a concert all online, and make money. Meanwhile, fans can chat with each other and enjoy a quality live performance from anywhere. The LA-based company is coming on the scene at a time when live events needed some innovation. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, concerts and other large in-person events have been deemed a no-no, so artists who still want to perform have had to get creative.

Moment (formerly known as Moment House) touts itself as the top digital events platform for artists and creators, including Justin Bieber, Tame Impala, Kygo, Pod Save America and the “Good for You” podcast hosted by comedian Whitney Cummings. The company was founded in 2019 — right before the COVID pandemic hit — by Arjun Mehta, Nigel Egrari and Shray Bansal. Rhett & Link’s Mythical entertainment company partnered with social live media platform Moment House to produce the “Good Mythical Evening” event. Launched last year, Moment House has soared out of the gate with over 700 “moments,” processing 1M tickets for artists like Bieber, Halsey, Kygo, Tame Impala, Kaytranada, and St. Vincent. In addition to big headliners, the self-service platform has also hosted countless emerging creators who have built one-of-a-kind digital performances for fans, generating tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands in revenue per moment. Moment House has been live-streaming podcast recordings, called “Moments,” since March 2021, and I’m told that the company has sold 140,000 tickets over the course of the 56 that it’s hosted since then.
Yesterday, the writer Damon Young published an op-ed in The Washington Post Magazine, outlining the two choices that he feels he’s facing as a creator of a forthcoming Spotify show, considering that Joe Rogan has caused many creators to question whether to keep aligning with the platform. Looking ahead, co-founder and CEO Arjun Mehta says Moment House’s success will not be contingent on the course of the pandemic. Rather, the platform is going to expand its capabilities, redefining what it means to attend a concert.

Plus, check out upcoming moments with Michelle Branch, Tinashe, Seether, and more. Following the acquisition, the first Moment event will be Crooked Media’s Pod Save America Live from Washington, D.C., on Thursday, Oct. 19, featuring special guests Sen. John Fetterman, chef José Andrés and Virginia State Senate candidate Jennifer Carroll Foy. "Performative album films are the new music video, that's really what this is" says Moment House co-founder Arjun Mehta.
Rhett & Link’s upcoming “Good Mythical Evening,” set to air Sept. 1, is a pay-per-view comedy and variety entertainment special based on their daily talk show. Tickets for the one-night-only event are priced starting at $21.99 each. His strategy of releasing his specials on YouTube and clips of his stand-up across social media platforms has become the new standard for comedians around the world. New York native and internationally touring stand-up comic and podcaster, Andrew Schulz, is known for his hilarious and unfiltered comedy. Andrew just closed out his 10 month, sold-out North American "Infamous Tour," selling out Radio City Music Hall's 6,000+ seats twice in one night.
Other recent “gigs” of note have ranged from Brockhampton doing a show’s worth of highly produced production numbers to coincide with that group’s new album release to the EDM artist Kygo doing a DJ set adjacent to a mountaintop ski chalet (pictured above). Moment House has hosted events for a wide variety of celebrities and digital content creators, including KSI, My Brother, My Brother, & Me, Halsey, Kygo, Marina, Yungblud, and Isaiah Rashad. Moment House, a platform that hosts ticketed live performances virtually, has officially launched thanks to a $1.5 million seed round led by Forerunner Ventures. Several angel investors including music industry veterans Jared Leto and Scooter Braun also participated. The first is scaling the team to ensure that Moment House can become “the go-to infrastructure” in the crowded marketplace for virtual concert platforms. Moment House has already poached executives from Spotify (Sam Berger, head of music at Moment House), WME (Michele Bernstein, marketing strategist) and AEG Presents (Casey McCabe, head of live music and strategy).
A few moments later, the resident reported that someone shot one of the intruders, police said. It was later confirmed at a brief press conference that the homeowner was the person who shot at the suspects. Nelson and others, including activist Denis Hayes, worked to expand the idea beyond college campuses, with events all around the country, and came up with the Earth Day name. Millions of people around the world will pause on Monday, at least for a moment, to mark Earth Day.
