Superclean Spotlight

Congratulations to several Superclean clients who have been tasting the spotlight lately.

Fellow Alamedan Matthew Anderson of Foresight Analytics was just quoted and named in The Economist magazine! That's a pretty big darned deal for a little research house based in Oakland. I especially like the article because I am so short Commercial Real Estate that I can walk under doors. (not investment advice.)

Smaller banks are exposed. Matthew Anderson of Foresight Analytics says that banks with assets between $100m and $10 billion hold commercial-property loans worth more than three times their total risk-based capital. Great Basin Bank, the 25th American bank to fail this year, was undone by heavy losses on commercial property. It will not be the last.

Meanwhile, Danny Barnes keeps showing up in the Dave Matthews Band... playing 2 recent shows in Charlottesville, Virginia and 3 upcoming shows at The Gorge amphitheater in Washington state. I could tell you more but I'm sworn to secrecy.

The other banjo player in the Superclean stable is Jake Schepps, who just played the New Orleans Jazz Festival last night and is starting to play festivals all over the place. And gfire, the singer/songwriter based in Austin, just signed a music licensing deal with Nightingale Records. Noice!

Let's see... who else... the ladies at Marin Art School are hosting open studio this weekend in Marin. If you want to meet the geniuses of Plein Air painting, this is your chance.

Here's Barnes pickin' with DMB the other night:
