10 years ago Dave Brown hitched a ride to San Diego from his home state of New York.  Immediately immersing himself in San Diego's creative culture, Brown opened an art gallery and started working with the city's top musical talent.  Operating under the moniker Holiday Matinee, Brown's titles have ranged from Brand Strategist, Music Publisher, Creative Blogger and all around Bad Ass.

Wednesday, August 19th, Holiday Matinee turns 10 and will be celebrating atop The W Hotel at The Beach Bar from 5-9pm.  Give @holidaymatinee a shout on twitter and you may just win a sweet digital watch.
