So I should have wrote this last weekend but went to see "The Dark Knight" opening weekend at the IMAX theatre. I have to say it was amazing, strong performances from all of the actors involved. The IMAX experience is something that I have had before but not for a major motion picture. The sounds made it feel like you were actually in Gotham City. This being the last performance of Heath Ledger had many people going to the box office for that reason. I do believe that even if it wasn't there still would have been many people going to it.

Today I hit the streets for the first time in a long time to try and get out the vote for the Ideablob contest. Seems most of the work I've been doing has been web design, accounting, and other computer related tasks, so I was looking forward to being out in the real world again. 

The idea was to take the bus around town, talk to people, and ask for their vote. I made some paper-strip fliers and xeroxed them this afternoon, took a trip to Burbank to get our gear from the office, and got back to the bus to meet Marcin, Arlene, and Levi, who joined me for the trek.

Together the 4 of us set out to the Silverlake area where we canvased the street for an hour or two, handing out fliers and talking to folks we met about the Collaboration Foundation and the Ideablob contest. People were generally really positive and a lot of folks said they would vote. A few even signed up to be producers :)
