I spoke with Kevin earlier this morning. I
mentioned that you were told your
3,500,000 would be to fund Hamilton for an
investor that never materialized. Kevin said
that was not true as they have all funds for
Hamilton yet they are not happy with some
of investors that are treating investment
more like a social event rather than a
financial event. I then mentioned that you
wanted to test the waters before you
invested significant funds. Kevin replied by
saying that Joe was not interested in any
investment unless it was of significant size
and that he sent you an email stating that.
I asked Kevin his involvement with Joe and
he said he has known him for a very long
time. I asked if he invested in all 22 deals
over the past 24 months and he said his first
deal was this summer. It was an investment
of 500,000 in Dead and Company. He said
he just made another investment of
1,000,000 in Hamilton. When I asked
Kevin his role in the business he said he acts
as an advisor in addition to helping him
source tickets.
I am unsure of your relationship with Kevin and know that you have
not asked for my opinion however i feel
EFTA_R1_00620033
EFTA02066315
very uncomfortable with both Kevin and
Joe for the following reasons:
a) The story of their need for your money changes with each
conversation
b) The urgency to receive 30,000,000 from you when Joe already has
50,000,000 + of tickets to sell
c) Deal Structure whereby you do not own portion of entity and would
put up money to "buy ticket allocations"
seems strange and like a bit of a ponzi
sheme
d) Lack of Transparency with Joe
e) Quick read of google (which we know is not always true..) states
that Joe did similar stuff in 2008 and lost
somewhere between 18-30mm for Edgar
Bronfman
I have a friend in the business who just sold his company GoViva to
CAA that i can use to meet with Joe to
further vet if you would like

This is like a Ripley's Believe it or Not.
Believe it or not, Bulldog Entertainment may be back. The talk this
weekend in the Hamptons was that concert
promoter Joe Meli, not content to have
masterminded a huge colossal magnificent
EFTA_R1_00820034
EFTA02066316
failure last summer with his $15,000-a-
ticket concert series, is cooking up
something new.
The word around town is that Meli is trying to orchestrate at least two
new Hamptons shows this summer with big
ticket prices. The names being bandied
about are Lionel Richie, possibly for July
5, and Lenny Kravitz, for the end of
August.
In case you've forgotten, Meli was the guy behind Social @ Ross last
summer. He staged five shows — Billy
Joel, Prince, Dave Matthews, James
Taylor and Tom Petty — on the grounds
of the tony Ross private school. Meli's plan
was to charge $3,000 a ticket for each
show, or $15,000 for the whole thing per
person. Each act was to receive $1 million
or more for the show.
The shows happened, but the audiences got thinner and thinner. Meli
lost his shirt, but not before taking Warner
M. Group's Edgar Bronfman Jr. with him
for an estimated loss of $30 million.
WMG's involvement was largely a secret
until it was revealed in their SEC report the
following quarter.
Meli's Bulldog Entertainment still has a Web site that lists Atlantic
Records, a division of WMG, as its phone
number and address. Bulldog also has two
other phone numbers, one in New York and
in L.A., both of which are disconnected.
I'm told that Meli met with some people in the music biz over the
weekend to discuss all of this. "The
concerts would be on someone's estate,
very private and exclusive," one source
said, "Very different than last year."

In the latest of a string of strategic moves focused on live
entertainment, Barclays Center's Brooklyn
Sports & Entertainment has launched
Brooklyn Direct, a new programming
division designed to work directly with
agents and managers to book events by
artists not on tour for Barclays Center and
other venues, Billboard has learned.
Barclays Center CEO Brett Yormark says that, while promoters have
been "very supportive" of Barclays Center,
"given the cyclical nature of the touring
business, we've decided as a company to be
a little more aggressive in the direct
business."
Brooklyn Direct will be based in Manhattan and led by its Chief
Content Officer Joe Melt formally an
independent promoter and a senior VP for
Warner Music Group.
