talking sh*t

9/12/04
Thank you so much to those of you who came through to the BAM screening and made it such an amazing success. Thank you to everyone who’s been rocking the t-shirts, spreading the word and taking it upon themselves to have screenings in places that have ranged from peoples basements, class rooms and galleries to a clearing in the RAINFOREST on the back of a giant boat sail.

There are more screenings coming up very soon and we’ll keep you posted. Some of you might be wondering why I’m talking about this film in the BS or F section of the site. The reason is that this is the film that was funded by the $ made from the advance we got when the book got picked up by a distributor. Point being ‘dreams begit dreams’

…anyway back to the grind, I just wanted to give a shout to YOU and share in the excitement of hearing the guy on movie phone say “RED BONE GUERILLAS”

We came back from teaching in St Croix to a NY that was on lock down. A straight up police state. There were random check points, snipers on roofs and military all over the place with automatic weapons. I suppose the desired effect was safety… but somehow I didn’t feel safer. Maybe if there were tables on every corner signing people up for free health care I’d feel safer. I’m glad the occupation is over and I’m glad New Yorkers looked past fear and took to the streets to express themselves.

My current focus is getting ready for this screening. I’m currently debating whether writing in this blog everyday until the screening will be calming or distracting.

I suppose if you don’t hear from till after the 10th of September you know what happened. hope to see some of you there :)
