Glad it's not just me who thinks that the Boostagram Ball is something special. I just finished reading 'The Long Tail' and this feels like one of those industry changing events. Opening up discovery (through the signal of Satoshis) and allowing the smaller musicians to get rewarded directly (to be followed by the bigger ones much later).
