As promised, I have managed to make a movie a day. I have a few in process, but the multiple trips to the camera store has been an unexpected timesuck. I absolutely love it here, but I am so tired. Tonight I am determined to see Lovesickness.

I’ll be in NY to help cover the Tribeca Film Festival. Here is the ridiculous hotel that I’ll be staying in. At first I didn’t intend to spend much time at the hotel, but it’s so pretty I feel like I have to take some time out to swim in their pool or something.
Here’s my flight plan:
From: SFO 8:00 am, Wednesday, April 25
To: JFK 4:37 pm, Wednesday, April 25
From: JFK 3:30 pm, Saturday, April 28
To: SFO 6:39 pm, Saturday, April 28
We will be filming like crazy. In addition to trying to be in the middle of all the action, one of my goals is to make at least one movie a day which will be posted on jumpcut. I will try my hardest to check in with Groovr and Twitter my progress. I may even update my blog as I go. What can I say, I’m feeling ambitious today.
I was hoping that Justine and Dez would be able to come out, but it sounds like Justine is going to be on this side of the coast while I’m on the other.
All three of us got to spend some time together when they were here for the Web2.0 expo. Videos will be coming shortly. Sometimes I feel like my videos and photos give a better summary of what I’m doing than this journal.

Last week an officemate showed me his gum-sized flash drive by kingmax and I immediately ordered a few. They’re just so deliciously compact, I couldn’t resist.
I’m going to make earings out of them. I think I’m going to put some info about me on one, and leave the other blank, so when I go to geek gatherings I can swap info with people who have laptops.
I will be attending some talks at podcast hotel, so we’ll see if anybody notices the earings.
I’m plan on dropping in for:
–Keynote by Andrew Baron
–Building A Fan Base In the Age of the Internet Rock Star
–Breaking Through: Woman’s View of a Male-Dominated Media World
–Keynote by Jonathan Cobb, Robert Scoble, Marshall Kirkpatrick
–Copyright Battles: Webcast Rate Hikes, Video Sharing and the RIAA’s War on Students
–Artist Rights and Net Neutrality: Activism in an Electronic Age

I finally made time to send out the moocards to andrew. The post office didn’t have any plain padded envelopes, so I ended up getting one with prints all over it. Then, after filling out the label, the woman told me it was the wrong one and I had to buy a label. Naturally, the only labels they had left said ‘happy birthday’ on them. The whole time I was there the woman kept grumbling about how she was tired of working overtime. Sweet.
UPDATE: Andrew has been inspired to make a meme-sharing site called Flashmeme. Check it out.

It seems as if everyone I know who wants an invite has one. In case there are people out there still interested, I have 5. The only catch is you have to tell me where my invites are. I clicked on every page on the site while logged in and I couldn’t find how to use my invites. I’ve seen the page before, so I’m completely baffled that I couldn’t find it this time around.
Just reply to this post to get an invite.
Update: Sorry guys! I’m out of invites

Sunday is Saint Stupid parade! Who’s going & when? I’m a little conflicted between going to the parade and learning how to make fruit infused vodka. I would like a ride down to the boys tomorrow if anyone is going down.
I bought tix for d-dolls June 29 at the Greek. I don’t like that venue, but I love the band too much.Cyndi Lauper, Erasure, Debbie Harry, The Gossip and Margaret Cho are on the performance list. I can’t wait to see the d-doll fans and Lauper fans together.
The show’s $50 (freaking ticketmaster..). I have 1 extra ticket. For some strange reason Dennis isn’t interested in going to Berkeley to an outdoor venue to see Cyndi Lauper. I can’t imagine why.
De La Soul and Zion at the Red Devil Lounge on April 3. Anyone interested? Some of my study abroad friends are going and I’m considering it.
Kid Beyond at Cafe Du Nord. Dennis and I will go if we’re both free.
