I really don’t like feeling happy about the misfortunes of others, but this Lewis Libby situation has me giddy. Oh if only Rove and Cheney were indicted… Sigh.

As a celebration, I let go of all my responsibilities and instead of working for a living like a good American (or Canadian) I remained glued to the radio talk shows while learning about how to podcast video.

So, I give you a new way to watch our content without having to come back every month or so. Simply add this url minus the brackets to your you preferred blog reader or in the new iTunes go to Advanced>Subscribe to Podcast and paste the url. If you have one of the new Ipod’s you’ll be able to take the video with you and shock your coworkers.

Finally, if you live in Vancouver, you should know that subMedia is bringing the Lost Film Fest to Video In Studios this Thursday Nov. 3rd at 8pm. Woo Woo!

that’s all for now

Sleep time

What whirlwind the last three months have been. House fire, tumultous trip to the ATL to DC back to the ATL back to Canada, then to Philly and now back to Canada hopefully for a good couple of months.

The Lost Film Fest was a tremendous experience. Saw some fantastic films and met a lot of like minded filmmakers. Believe me when I tell you that the alternative media revolution is on!

The highlights:

East Van Porn Collective: This crew decided to make a mokumentary about a group of young adults who didn’t like the quality of porn so they made their own for their eyes only. In the process they actually made porn for their eyes only and made the East Van Porn Collective a reality. Probably the best explanation of concensus decision making process I’ve seen.

Star Slyderz: This stuck out in a world of political and socially concious films. If you like He-Man, Voltron, Star Trek and hair metal, this movie has it all. Probably the first true Cult Classic B-Movie of the new milenium.

George Bush Don’t Like Black People Part Deux: I got to meet The Black Lantern, creator of the other George Bush meets Kanye West video. It just so happens that he live in Philly and we played our vids back to back at the festival. Strangely enough he recived a cease and dessist letter from Jib Jab for using 8 seconds of their popular animation ‘This Land is our Land’. Ironically, Jib Jab got a cease and dessit from the Arlo Guthrie for using his father’s song without permission. So without a doubt I’ve lost all respect for the hipocrits at Jib Jab. Fuckin sell-outs.

…and (self explanatory use your imagination)…. Vegan (Cheese Steaks, Cakes, Turkey, Hot Dogs) Bike Jousting, Ball Fights, Ethiopian food, dirty shower, 1 towel for 7 people, grease cars, crazy hippies, donuts, no sleep, Punk Rock Islam, Photoshop Wormhole, dumpster diving, cockroach magic….

Now I am settling into my new digs, getting a lot of sleep and prepping for two months of heavy editing before I return to the ATL for some work. Before I leave you guys for a few weeks, I wanted to give big ups to Alex and Jacob of POP films for their first worldwide DVD release of ‘Last Goodbye‘ If you haven’t seen it at festivals or screenings, you can now own a copy. So go to Amazon or rent it from Netfilx.

That’s all for now. Expect radio silence for a few weeks unless something amazing happens.

much love//the stimulator

Corporate Media Whore

So I am back in the great white north, looking at an empty apartment and pondering if I really want to get a bunch of useless shit or just leave it empty. Hmm.. It’s up to the boss (my wife) to decide.

To keep you updated on the ‘George Bush Don’t Like Black People’ mania, the corporate media caught on. It started with an article in the Sunday New York Times. That was then followed by the Washington Post, MSN Video Downloads, and a request to air the video on BET, Albuquerque Public Access TV Channel 27, and Current TV, which is Al Gore’s new cable venture. Ain’t revenge sweet Al? All in all the video has reached more than 500,000 folks and more once it hits the national airwaves. To quote the legendary Bubb Rubb - WOO WOO!

The hate mail has kept me entertained and in stitches. The scary part is what happens when people hide behind a screen name and can type away in total anonymity. Oh, the racism that these fuckers spew would make David Duke blush. Now I expected the defenders of Dubya to come out in droves, but the racists did their best to make sure I knew they existed. No, people, we are not evolving, and that’s a theory anyway…

So I have much to do so I’ll keep this short.

Tomorrow (Sunday Oct. 2) at 8 pm the Push Push theater in Decatur will be showing a retrospective of my films.

Friday Oct. 7 at 7:30 pm the Atlanta IMC is presenting a screening of Winter Soldier and on again Sunday Oct. 9th at 3 pm the Push Push

All next week I’m in Philly for the Lost Film Fest 10. I’ll be screening ‘Why I love Shoplifting…’ and ‘George Bush…’ If you have friends in the area or are able to make the trek, this film program is worth it.

that’s all folks
