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
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 failure last summer with his
EFTA00691986
$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 Meli, formally an
independent promoter and a senior VP for Warner Music Group.

Ive copied Joe Meli the CEO of Advance Entertainment here who would be the best person to
review this with you. I am merely an investor in Advance and silent partner. Joe can go through
all the granular detail and has met JE with me previously on a former opportunity.
I'll leave it to Joe to respond to you here.
Best.
