7/10: "EXPERIMENTALLY ILL" : An Indie Showcase of Alternative Film (FREE) (209 Harvard Street, Brookline, MA)

A little piece of insanity comes to the historic Coolidge Corner
Theatre at 209 Harvard Street in Brookline, MA, as VH1 hopeful and
multimedia maven/spoken word artist Mike Phelan O'Toole, cable access legend and WBCN radio personality Quincy Brisco, and uber-producer and editor extraordinaire Lawrence Hollie host an eclectic, artistic,
entertaining, and flat-out hilarious filmic tapestry!

"THE RANDOM ACTS VIDEO DISASTER"

It's that time again - sweet sweet multimedia experience-in-an-art gallery time!

After years of bitching and moaning "When, Lord?! When's it gonna be our time?!" the Manic Schematic/Lot 2 team is finally getting in on all the sweet, sweet film and video screening, artsy fartsy gallery action!

(Yep - time for some good old fashioned blogging - From now on, I'll try my best to paste in a copy of my latest journal entry here at the 1, as well as myspace.com/mikeotoole and at my main blog - http://thsoulenigma.liv... / http://MikeOToole.blogs...
You will also find my posts at Facebook, imported automatically from livejournal.Anyway, on with the blog - feel free to subscribe in every which way and at any and all locations.)

It’s been a weird week, and I’m wiped, but if I don’t post this, I won’t be able to sleep - here is my attempt at simply recounting things - nothing too breathtakingly detailed; just a “what I did yesterday” log, so that my day-to-day is not lost forever in the matrix of my mind, and maybe you, brave reader will enjoy it to some degree.

I'll let the MP3s speak for themselves, but basically I do a casual podcast where I chat about what I'm up to in the way of arts and entertainment projects. Keeping it real, I invite my production partner for a few episodes. Peep it out at MikeOcast.blogspot.com or from the source at gcast.com/u/mphelanotoole
Interesting stories abound regarding hanging with celebrities at work, as well as geek stuff, and far less interesting insider shit. If you are interested in media and feel like some laughs, take a listen and leave me comments or email at mikeovideo@gmail.com
Looking to build exposure, so tell your friends or share the link. Better yet, since it's all honest and from "the streets," if it sounds like you dig what I do, then ADD ME TO YOUR CREW HERE AT THE 1. We'll be getting a promotional crew together soon, shooting grassroots stuff related to the 1 as well as a lil' street team thing down the road, so keep in touch. I also give the 1 a shout out on the 'cast

While it's no "Road To Oprah" that the good folks in charge of this ship have in the works, filmmaker Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Clerks II...) is going to be rocking the house on his birthday here - http://blog.myspace.com...

(see how I got in a little pimping for the big guy? I'm a fan) And I will be attending the Q&A, which as recent word would have it, could wind up on a DVD. Well, as you might've guessed, plans are to drop some science on him regarding the 1. If he doesnt already know something about it, well, I think he'd be all about it, kids! How could he donate, or we facilitate that? That's something I'd need to know - other than that, I came here (my "The 1" blog) to spill some verbiage and share my idea and plans. Now that you've read all this mess, why don't you take a look at the things we all love about the ol' internet - pictures AND videos!

I'm not sure of the true purpose, popularity or reach of the blogs on here, but that passion for communication says I can't let this sit here. Simply 'cause I dropped some coin toward the 1 doesnt make me the man - however, in my eyes, my word does - what I create makes me immortal. But seeing as we're all really just passing through, I figure shit is too short to not deliver a "What up" to everyone who is cool enough to care - about this project, about me, this blog, etc. With that, I shall drop in here every one in awhile to drop my word, and chat about non-profits, projects, movies, and non-profit movie projects, Tom Green and the like.
