MikeB took some really nice pics of our live Vote-a-Thon for the Collaboration Foundation and posted em to our flickr set:  E Vote-a-Thon Flickr Set

The Evangenitals, tunin up, gettin ready for the go.

Wow. Last night at about 3am I suddenly was inspired to go on a wild "tagging" mission on Flickr. Part of the inspiration came from my discovery of the new features on Blogger which allow you to add slide-shows and videos to your page, based off of keywords. So I jumped on Flickr and went keyword crazy... making sure that I had "The Evangenitals" and "Juli Crockett" on every awesome photo from the Road to Oprah tour that I could find.

First off, the folks at EpicFu (Zadi, Steve, and Rick) are super cool. I first met Zadi at a Creative Commons Salon in downtown LA shortly before taking off on our Road to Oprah tour. They expressed interest in doing a piece on our project, and got in touch when we got back.

Von Dutch wanted me to pass along an invite to all our producers to an art opening/retrospective for Eddie Kramer's photos.

Eddie was the music producer/engineer behind the sound of artists ranging from the Beatles to Led Zeppelin to Jimi Hendrix. Eddie also photographed intimate moments in-between recording when the artists were listening back to their tracks for the first time. These moments will be on display Friday with Eddie on hand to sign prints and share stories.

One of the many grand locations for jumping, this location was the grandest. Here's Nirvan (upper) and me (lower) doing what you're supposed to do... well, while wearing jumpsuits.

I finally uploaded my Road to Oprah road crew jumpsuit fitting and bus conversion pics to Flickr.

Check it out:

Here's a picture I took of one of our larger producers when we were at the farmer's market in pasadena a few weeks back. I discovered a cool way to turn photos into a simulated infra-red, and thought it would be fun try try in on this pic. It is illustrated nicely here with the red trees and the cyan sky. You can see larger versions on our flickr set.

Well, after what I thought was a surreal Day 1, which included sneaking into our Associate Producer David LaChapelle's party, we had an even more absurd Day 2. First of all, I didn't know where I was going to stay. By chance, I ended up running into my good friend Noaz Deshe from LA.

Noaz is one of our Associate Producers and was at Sundance filming a project with Bob Odenkirk; they were being put up by the Sundance Channel at a giant 3 story condo. Noaz checked with Bob, who was totally cool with letting me sleep on their couch. Then I got to show Bob The 1 Second Film and some of my animated shorts. Bob really liked the concept and came on board as an Associate Producer (with the goal of moving up later). He also interviewed us for the segment he was shooting for the Sundance Channel, so maybe we will get a little exposure.
