Richard Jackson is running for the Florida legislature in house district 67. He’s a Democrat and he has two PhDs. His opponent (incumbent) is one of the party-line Republicans who helped make Florida the mess it is today. We need to get more people like Richard into our legislature!
This video totally goes against the “shorter is better” rule of online video. It’s somewhat over an hour long. But it’s also the only full-length record of the 2nd Annual Village of the Arts Poetry Slam, held at The Village Bookshop in honor of National Poetry Month. I don’t think many people are going to watch this all the way through, but for those of you who have never been to a poetry slam or want to see what happens in Bradenton’s Village of the Arts besides selling paintings and crafts, here you go. (Note: the “slam-master” is Kevin Webb, nationally-recognized poet and owner of the Liberal Artz gallery in Bradenton.)
St. Pats Parade, 1280X720 from roblimo on Vimeo.
SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 2008 - The Village of the Arts in Bradenton, Florida, held its first-ever St. Patrick's Day parade. It was organized by Dona Lee, owner of the Village Voices Book Gallery on 10th Ave. West.
Most of the shots in this impromptu video were taken at the corner of 11th St. West and 16th Ave. West, in the "South" section of the Village of the Arts the city has decided should not get additional improvements. It was a joy to see the mayor and three city council members here — and an even greater joy to see a police car here not answering a call.
Dona dida great job organizing this event, and deserves huge credit, especially for including the oft-forgotten section of the Village of the Arts South of 13th Avenue.
Local video genius Damen Shaqiri and I made this back in 2004. Totally loopy, an experiment in many ways. I forgot I had the file. What the heck. Maybe you'll get a kick out of it. (The book is totally obsolete, BTW. Desktop Linux has come a *long* way since 2004.
The infamous "throw the laptop into the ocean" scene was shot on Lido Key in Sarasota, FL. Not that it matters. We chose that beach because Mike, a guy who helped us with the production, needed some help putting a boat on a trailer (NOT the video kind) at the nearby Sarasota Sailing Squadron, and it was a convenient place for us to meet.
Shot at the Charisma Cafe in the Village of the Arts, Bradenton, Florida, on Feb 9. 2008. Not Tuna does Hot Tuna covers and a bit of Greatful Dead in addition to their own, original material. More songs from them coming soon…
