Yesterday we had a meeting for the Collaboration Foundation's LA Board of Directors.
The meeting was at GOOD Magazine's HQ; Ben Goldhirsh and Stephen Nemeth were in attendance, as well as Juli Crockett, our newly minted Secretary/Treasurer, and my cinematrographer friend Marcin, who was filming for our doc.
This felt like a really big meeting as there was a lot to discuss; the Road to Oprah update, fiscal and project status reports, the new web development, and overall project goals/focus.
These are the videos from the Charleston Drive.

Hello friends of the Genitals!
We are going to be playing a live set of musical goodness on KXLU's Neuz Pollution tonight (Saturday) on KXLU 88.9 and we'd love for you to tune in, turn on, and get down with us from the comfort of wherever you listen to the radio!
The show is from 10:30pm - 12am, and Lisa Dee and I will first be performing with Artichoke and then the Evangenitals will sing you to sleep... or to the club... or serenade whatever Saturday night activity you may be engaging in. Don't worry, we won't judge you... we love you! And we'd like to sing to you on the radio.
Form/Space Atelier June 2008
Show Title: Resurfacing
Show Duration: June 13-July 6
Opening Reception: June 13, 6PM
Carolyn Polk’s exhibit ‘Resurfacing’; scarab images in acrylic paint and mediums, paper, recovered barn wood, recovered washers, resin, metallic pigment, coasters, image transfer, and print are rooted in her ardent appeal of the symbolic meaning that the scarab holds, that of renewal, good luck, and protection.
Carolyn Polk received her BFA in 2001 from Endicott College in Beverly, Massachusetts. Exhibitions of her work have been shown in galleries in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Virginia, Georgia, and Washington.
Tonight I'm headed to a Drupal meetup for LA developers. I'm exploring options for deploying the next generation of our site. Looking for reliable developers to get bids.
The whole tech scene is changing so fast. Today I read that Facebook might be going Open Source to keep up with Open Social. I'm not sure what all this will mean in the long term.
As our site moves more toward a social-platform in anticipation of the needs of the Collaboration Foundation, we have been looking to Drupal to give us an open and affordable way to provide many common social features. Drupal has always been one or two steps behind in terms of meeting these needs, although it has been getting better- hence one of the motivations for upgrading our site to a newer version of Drupal.
After my buddy and I created copies of the "1 Second Film" poster and made copies of the release form (We figured we should be on the safe side), we went to downtown Charleston during a Spoleto festival in hazy weather. We weren't sure if it would rain or not.
Anyway, it was our first filming project of any kind. Out of several requests, we recorded seven perfect moments. It would have been eight, however, the significant other expressed concern considering our complete lack of experience and suspected we were up to something, therefore the release form was ripped and the perfect moment was recorded over. In situations like that, we have no choice: We live with what we have and move on.
I wanted to let any of you out there in cyberspace who may care about two COMPLETELY IMPROVISED and totally FREE shows that I'm going to be in THIS WEEKEND at the iO WEST's Andy Dick Experimental Black Box Theater.
Yes, someone named a theater after Andy Dick...
1) Friday May 23rd at 11pm (following Heather & Miles at 10pm, who are incredible and I highly recommend seeing them)
2) Saturday May 24th at 8:30pm (following Laurel Coppock's "Breakdown City" at 8pm, which I can't recommend highly enough!)
I will be performing with my improv group HAMMERSPACE (www.myspace.com/hammerspace_improv).
These shows are all-ages, totally free, completely improvised, and really go a lot better and are more fun (and funny) when there's a good crowd... so it would be awesome if you could make it and see me wrestle with my new creative obsession -- LONG-FORM IMPROV!
Here's the details:

One of the things that I have always both hated and admired are people who can live by a 'routine' every single day of their lives. When I say people who live by routines, I mean the people who ritualistically wake up at the same time every day, go downstairs or down the hall, have a shower, go to the kitchen eat breakfast, brush their teeth, make coffee for their short commute to work with the same amount of milk and sugar. They go to work, greet the same people every morning, chat about the same things during their lunch break, usually eat the same food every lunchtime, go back to work, get in their car/train/bus, read the same paper. All this from Monday to Friday. These same people at the weekends, go to the same bar, drink the same drinks and socialise with the same people and talk about the same few things. What interests me about these people is that very few seem to read books, they watch TV though. The same programmes every day/week at the same time and god forbid they miss their scheduled programming at all...that would be a disaster. I personally cannot live by routines...while I may appear to, I have always flourished when being completely ambitionless for the day. If I sit down to go online, I usually have no agenda. I sit, think, write a little, check my messages and then procrastinate from living life by having a 'surf' of the wonders of the internet. More often than not, I find myself searching in job sections for that perfect career. The one where I can work from home at my computer and get paid handsomly.
well, it's been a wacky year i guess. i haven't gotten a minute to slow down and update this thing until about two weeks ago, and by that point i couldn't remember my login info for anything, but now i've gone through all the hoop jumping and what not, so, i'm back. this year hasn't really been that wacky, more like unbelievably difficult and trying... first, i got out of a pretty amazing relationship with a really amazing girl, then i hit rock bottom about 4 months later and moved back home and dropped out of school for semester, and now i'm living with my grandmother at least until next month, when i try take 2 of an independent life.
here are some of the things that have been happening recently:
One of our newest producers, Barry "Saskatchewan" Seymore Watson Jr., blogged about 'The Charleston Drive' - his plan to hit the streets of Charleston, South Carolina to promote The 1 Second Film and ask folks about their perfect moments. Looking forward to a field report from that adventure.
New Producers continue to join online, including a $250.01 Executive Producer donation from Carol Gunby from San Jose (who found us on YouTube). Thanks so much to everyone who has joined and helped to spread the word!
