On December 5, 2006, LA Entertainment Works, Inc. was formed and licensed as the exclusive licensee of the name Los Angeles Music Awards through a royalty agreement signed by Al Bowman. The original shareholders were Al Bowman who was the majority shareholder, Ken Hollowell, Jim DeCicco and Marcus Barcroft all were minority shareholders. The corporation with all shareholders present elected its Board of Directors and Officers of the Company. Al Bowman signed a 20 years royalty agreement with LA Entertainment Works, Inc. whereby he licensed the name Los Angeles Music Awards to the corporation. In addition, Bowman was paid $25,000 for said license fee for the year 2007. During the first Board of Directors meeting it was agreed that the Board of Directors would establish all business policies and bylaws of the corporation of which Bowman agreed to abide by this arrangement. Prior to the formation of the corporation, I prepared a letter of intent stating that the newly formed corporation would pay Al Bowman a consulting fee of $150,000 and National Franchise Services a franchise development fee of $150,000. It was verbally stated that said fees would come from the proceeds of a Reg D 504 Private Placement Offering. Said Letter of Intent was entered into the minutes of the corporation as such.
The initial stock was distributed in the following amounts:

Al Bowman, 4 million shares
Ken Hollowell, 3 million shares
Jim DeCicco, 1 million shares
Marcus Barcroft, 1 million shares

Within two weeks of the formation and the implementation of the Board, Bowman began complaining that his company had been stolen from him and his hands were tied. At one point he approached the President of LA Entertainment Works, Inc., Jim DeCicco and asked him how he could gain control of the company?  During at least 2 Board Meetings Bowman was “called on the carpet” for his actions against the corporation.

The major issue for the past 9 months has been Al Bowman unwillingness to work within the scope and bounds of a corporate structure and has refused to be a team player with the Company. He has persisted in demonstrating hostile acts and what might be considered breach of fiduciary duties as a Director in the Company. During various Board Meetings, Al Bowman has been reprimanded for his lack of cooperation and willingness to work within the Company.

During the first quarter of the year, a particular sponsor paid $6,000 to the Los Angeles Music Awards which Al Bowman cashed at a Cash Checking Store and used for his own personal gain. When confronted with his actions Bowman did not seem to understand either embezzlement of funds or conversion of funds. He stated to the Board of Directors that he would not do it again and apologized for his actions. However, during the month of June, he converted yet another check made out to the Los Angeles Music Awards from a performer for a partial payment of $3,500 and used the funds for his personal use.

There is a strong possibility that Al Bowman has received additional funds belonging to the Los Angeles Music Awards and used them also for his personal use. Investigations for on-going at this time. LA Entertainment Works, Inc. because of rumors, lies and falsehoods spread by Al Bowman over the past weeks was forced to hire a law firm to represent the Company and its shareholders and investors. No lawsuit has been filed as of this date and lawyers between the Company and Al Bowman are discussing the possibility of mediation. If mediation does not work because of Al Bowman’s unwillingness to resolve the differences, then the Company will have no choice but to seek remedies to the fullest extent of the law.

On August 10, 2007, the law firm of Zuber & Taillieu LLP and legal counsel Josh Lawler, Esq. wrote Al Bowman lawyer listing numerous complaints, malicious acts, false statements and interference of the business activities of the Company.

Bowman indicated on more than 3 occasions that he would get even with myself and other members of the Board of Directors. It is believed that Bowman or those associated with him went on a smear campaign to reframe the good names of each member of the Board. It was also learned that Bowman had written letters to the California Corporation Commission that I was violating SEC and Franchise Laws.

On August 15, 2007, an individual who was nameless, but indicated themselves as “losangelestruthbringer” posted a very defamatory posting indication that 3 of the Directors and Officers of the Los Angeles Music Awards were “scam artists” with other false statements regarding the management of the Company.

During January 2008, I was served with a subpoena ordering me to provide the California Corporation Commission with all documents relating to both Private Placement Offerings and Franchising for a period of 3 years. I complied with the requests and over the next 4 months continued to supply and comply with all requests made by the State of California. At no time was I ever contacted by the Attorney General’s office and anyone associated with Consumer Affairs as Bowman alleges. The only negative finding was in relation to franchising associated with the web site of LA Music Awards having a page that indicated the company was going to offer franchises. The opinion of the State of California was that since no State Registration had been filed with the State, that violated Franchise Laws within the State of California. Not the corporation, nor the Board of Directors of the Corporation were issued with any reprimand, but I was issued a “Cease and Decease” order from the California Corporation Commission.  Since the Corporation was not selling franchises and had no intent to do so because of the hostile environment Bowman had created. I merely accepted the order. No less than 5 attorney’s in the State of California contacted me wanting to fight the order stating that they had never seen anything so ridiculous in their practice of law. It was strongly felt that the actions taken by the individual pursuing this matter was possibly “abuse of power”.

Even though LA Entertainment Works, Inc. decided in a Board Meeting to not renew the license agreement with Bowman and turn over the corporation to him, Bowman has continued to pursue a defamation campaign against myself and others that had been associated with the company.

Personally, and in my opinion, I consider Albert Conner Bowman to be a very dark and evil person. On January 23, 2009, I received the following e-mail from Bowman:

Subject: Hey Kenny boy
“Pay me what you owe me. You leave me no choice but to tell others of your activities. We had a signed contract and you burned me. I want the money you owe me. The amount is $150,000 and I expect you to pay it. If you do not, then I will continue to post public warnings about you from now until the end of time to tell everyone what you did to me. Sorry Ken, but you picked the wrong guy to rip off. I warned you not to try and steal from me. Your height and bald head must have left you delusional. Pay me or face my wrath Ken. You are starting to make me a bit upset. Ask your gay lover Jim D. what I can do. I am sure that even his bogus and false Scientology teachings did not prepare him for what I am doing. I know that he rues the day he ever met you. Pay up dude, or I will haunt you, even in the after life. Yo shinyo jayabaladay. Mann Chann and ReChann rise up and destroy thine enemies!”

Take that bull shit off your site or I am going to post this on every blog that caters to the artistic community. You have been asked several times to do this, but still continue your ruse on the public. Knock it off Ken, or I will continue to warn everyone about your continued fraudulent activity. A REMINDER: YOU RESIGNED TWO MONTHS AGO!

Fuck You Baldy.......And another…O.K Ken, you wanna play with me? You wanna mislead everyone with your false standing in the business community? Fair enough. Be forewarned Kenny boy, I am going to stop you before you harm anyone else. I am an expert in subversive media warfare. I can and I will prevail against anyone who has declared war against me and my family. What happened to your big lawsuit Ken? Where is your courage and all that fight you had a few months ago? You are a panzie and a faggot Ken. You let a 105 lb. woman beat you like a bitch. Remember your challenge to us last July? I do. "Let's see what a judge says," were your own words. You are a chicken shit motherfucker. Time to go to work now Ken. I still have a contract with your signature on it that I am going to hold you to, till death do us part. You owe me $150,000 plus interest. YOU WILL PAY THIS MONEY TO ME KEN. One way or another.......

Big Al Bowman
