day zero - gi joe festival
today is the second annual gi joe film festival in denver!
i was thinking back to where did this all come from?
pondpatrol?
gi joe international film festival?
pondpatrol was spawned from the wedding and the turtle obsession - my husbands -
then there was a little film festival that was in denver - inflatable duck- it was a festival open to all types of independent short films. it was around for two years, but by the second year that producers decided to vacation in europe right before the festival; shrugging all responsibilities on a volunteer at the last minute. the volunteer did the best job in a small amount of time trying to re-format: films, video tapes, and dvd's of all setting, to work cohesively. not all the dvd's would replay on the dvd player at the festival, a second dvd player plus a video player had to be brought in an emergency to play the tapes. ONE film didn't get shown: IN THE LAND OF THE BLIND THE ONE EYED MAN IS KING, Gio Toninelo.
the night was hectic, confusing and all together a disaster - i think that the films didn't arrive until an hour or so after the festival was to start?
gio vowed that night that he was going to start his own festival. little did we know then that the festival would happen several years later or that the theme would be stop- motion.
and here it is, the second round of stop-motion in denver!
it's been a whole year of submissions, design work, and organizing. not to mention that gio has been rising before the sun to make sure everything is taken care of.
Congratulation to my husband for another successful dream come true!
i love you gio,
j.letion

DNC + DENVER = fun?
this past week has been interesting.
gio and i had a mini vacation in town - the morning girl at work wanted to go out of town and we switched monday afternoon for wednesday morning. so gio and i got 2 1/2 days off together!
we decided to take part in a few events for the dnc by dialog city
http://www.dialogcity.org/
Rebecca v has been working with dialog city putting together events and she did a great job! she's been working her ass off!
the first event was the dj spooky "large-scale multimedia performance Terra Nova: The Antarctica Suite at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House. "
http://www.dialogcity.org/artists/djspooky.html
we met up with sam, mary morrow, carmela and flynn. after the show we tried to go out to dinner, we were c. blocked by msnbc ass wipes filming in sam's no.3! mary ditched us and we ended up at the paramount for a late nite dinner.
sunday nite was quite with the cops arresting people but there were riot teams of 10 - 12 cops on almost every block. we had cops on horse back, cops on bikes, cops on suvs (riding on the out side swat stlye)
monday we headed down town to be part of ann hamiltons love letter to the dnc. it was wonderful. a full chorus 4 levels high with a childrens chorus on the 1st balcony and the rest of us down below with our scripts to join in at the appropriate time.
walking to the event we came across two protester. they were dresses all in black and had a cartoon dialogue sign above their heads stating "THIS IS WHAT A POLICE STATE LOOKS LIKE!" . they weren't really disruptive, they chanted "just because your paranoid doesn't mean that their not out to get you" stuff like that. but by the time they passed the second bridge 12 cops on bikes swooped in to rip their signs off and arrest them.
this is what a police state looks like.
after the ann event we went over to a bar where joshua novak (gio's old band) was playing. we hung out and heard their set, they were sounding great! the new bass player john has been learning gio's bass lines. john is doing a great job playing gio and mixing some of his own heavy metal sound in to the music.
we were heading home down 16th street where we were passing to clock tower when we saw the burlesque show was about to start and gio's friend garret, the sound guy for the clock tower, invited us to see the show! so we went down to see the show.
we walked home to see all of the cops that were here for our protection (?).
