11:40 am - Continuous City
|
For all you techie media performance type people:
HELP BUILD CONTINUOUS CITY
Where is home? Where are you now? Where are your borders? Where does your city end?
Marianne Weems, artistic director of The Builders Association performance and media company, is in residence at the Arts Research Center at UC Berkeley this fall, collaborating with students and faculty to develop The Builders' current work-in-progress. Continuous City: Excerpts from a Work-in-Progress by The Builders Association will open the Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies' mainstage season in the Zellerbach Playhouse October 5 through 14. The goal of Continuous City is to explore "the sense of place within a global context, and how electronic connection contributes to and complicates that sense." Part of the project is a social networking site where anyone can contribute material that will become part of the live performance. The site is now live at http://www.continuouscity.org/.
YOU can help build Continuous City. At http://www.continuouscity.org/ you can join a chorus of voices, dialogue with another character, or add photos of places that are important to you. Visit
http://www.continuouscity.org/ today and become part of the performance.

11:11 pm - CALL FOR A BRIEF MOMENT OF HELP
|
I am helping my Department (of Theater, Dance and Performance Studies at UCB) do some networking well beyond the campus walls for a special work of media theater: _Continuous City_, which is an on-going, work in progress by the New York-based performance troupe The Builders Association (www.thebuildersassociation.org), and directed by OBIE-award winning director Marianne Weems (she's had a couple of works done at The Berkeley Rep -- the current season's _Argonautika_ (11/2/07-12/16/07) and her works _Journey to the West_, _The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vindi_, and _The Secret Wings_ all had their West Coast premier at the Berkeley Rep).
Anyway, this is all a long introduction to say that the piece being workshopped in our department is about technology and social-techno networking. I would really like some listservs or other ideas for promoting this event as I think it's of great interest to many in our community. Please respond here or email at joanne@berkeley.edu with any willingness to help or ideas.
Here's some publicity text:
CONTINUOUS CITY
Where are you now? Where is home? Where are your borders? Where does your city end?
Draft reverse side text:
How do we develop our sense of place, and how does electronic connection contribute to—and complicate—it?
THE BUILDERS ASSOCIATION performance/media company is in residence at UC Berkeley, developing Continuous City, a new work that explores how the contemporary “networked” self experiences location and dislocation.
YOU can help build Continuous City. Visit
www.continuouscity.org
where you can record dialogue, improvise thoughts, and add images. Material from the site will become part of the performance.
Continuous City work-in-progress showings at UC Berkeley: October 5, 6, 12, 13 at 8pm, October 7, 14 at 2pm, Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies, Zellerbach Playhouse, $14/10/8.

First, I have the most amazing and smart and beautiful daughter ever. (sydneyclementine.blogspot.com) (www.flickr.com/photos/sydneyclementine). We will be at a certain pool party this Sunday.
Second, I have been going out quite a bit (for me) lately. This doesn't work well when you have a toddler who wakes at 6am (luckily I also have a fabulous husband who gets up with her the mornings after I go out NEVERMIND the fact that he stays home with her while I go out). I am going to try for a few week hiatus. Maybe resurface at the NWC anniversary event.
Third, I am getting slammed with work, which is another reason I should lay off the outings.

8:58 pm - URGENT: Sasha and Jason
|
Hi, folks. Today Sasha's and Jason's home was broken into and a good amount of their stuff was stolen. Of course, mostly electronics and jewelry. We need help on getting the word out. Four laptops (2 macs, a dell, and an hp) in total were stolen, all of Jason's current game consoles, a couple of digital cameras, and my sister's video iPod (and all of Sasha's jewelry). Please keep an eye/ear out. If you have any suggestions on what to do please let us know!
Please feel free to repost as necessary, I am not nearly as connected as the fabulous sash.
When I get more info I will post.

12:48 pm - Dog-/House- Sitter
|
|
Hello fabulous peoples. Dave, Syd, my sister Katey, and I are taking a little family vacation June 15-24 and we're looking for a dog-/house- sitter. You would get to stay at our conveniently-located house in El Cerrito (right next to the Plaza Shopping Center and BART station--and I mean right next to them). You would get to use my car. AND, most importantly, you would get to hang out with three--yes, THREE--little doggies: Pugsley, Wednesday, and Gizmo. We have a nice-sized television w/Tivo and DVD player, wireless internet connection, and running water AND electricity. We can pay you $200. If you or any responsible, dog-loving person you know, is available and willing please let me know!

2:36 pm - pugs!
|
|
we have this green futon/couch thing in our "office". there is a blanket draped over it to minimize pug germs. it hangs over the edge to the ground. Wednesday is under the couch on one side of the blanket. Pugsley is on the other side. They are mouth-wrassling each other through the blanket. IT IS ADORABLE.

5:03 pm - photographer
|

I know a number of you are fabulous photographers. Soooo, I was wondering if anyone would be interested/willing to take a few shots of baby Syd. Nothing crazy or time consuming or expensive (just digital), but I would like some quality shots. I can buy you lunch :) If interested let me know. That would be awesome.

10:10 am - Pugs
|
I just wanted to thank everyone who offered support last week during the missing pug days. It was one of the worst weeks EVER. Sasha and Jason were AMAZING, though. Seriously, we couldn't have done it without them. Sash had to be our internet proxy because, of course, we are without internet due to the move. (I tell you, it is the WORST to be without internet during a crisis like that.) And, of course, our nightly Scrubs viewing to decompress in preparation for sleep. But, seriously, the biggest thanks of all goes to Sash. Her support and willingness to drop everything to help is/was amazing. She is the best friend ever.
Here's what happened:
Monday afternoon (the 2nd) the pugs managed to escape from our backyard. We had just moved into this new house in El Cerrito six days prior and Dave had installed a doggy door leading tot he backyard over that weekend. So, when it stopped raining the little puggies went galavanting about the back yard. Because of the crazy wind storm some planks in one of the fences came loose, unknown to us, and it seems they escaped through those loose planks into our neighbor's yard. He heard them around 3ish, I'm guessing when they were running around his yard. Not long after they were spotted at PureBeauty and The Game Stop (two stores at the El Cerrito Plaza, which we live 1/2 a block from). At both stores the people who saw them said they were being followed by a group of teenagers. The last siting was around 4ish when another woman, who responded from Craigslist, said she saw Wednesday running down Fairmount towards San Pablo. This woman had pulled over to pick up Wednesday but then saw one of the teenagers chasing after the dog and thought that my baby belonged to him.
So, all week we called places, put up flyers at all the vets and pet stores, informed other pet-related type places, went to the pounds, flyered the neighborhood, asked the teenagers at the Plaza after school, handed out small flyers, etc. It was an aweful aweful week. I did more crying last week than I have in the past 15 years (I swear). (Probably in part to the crazy pregnancy hormones.)
Friday morning as we're getting ready to leave the house we get a call. Of course from a blocked number. Dave picks up the phone. Some guy asking if we're still missing the dogs and what the reqard is because he claims he get us our dogs back--apparently his neighbor has the dogs. He won't leave any info but says he's going to go to his neighbor to give them the flyer. Not long after we get another phone call (from another blocked number). (Dave answers again.) This time it's a woman saying she has our dogs and they're really great and her kids love them, etc. Then her husband (?) takes the phone and wants to know what the reward is. First, he says he can meet us in the afternoon, but I take the phone and ask if we can meet now. So, Dave and I hop in the car and go to the bank to get the money and meet them at the Burger King parking lot to trade cash for dogs.
It's really sad that it took a substantial reward to get our dogs back. But I am glad that we have them back. They've been tagged and chipped, and they are not allowed in the back yard without supervision.
The community response was AMAZING. I am so grateful to everyone for everything, I can't even tell you or put it into words. Thank you so much. You're all amazing.

Your brain: 160% interpersonal, 80% visual, 80% verbal, and 80% mathematical!
| Congratulations on being 400% smart! Actually, on my test, everyone is. The above score breaks down what kind of thinking you most enjoy doing. A score above 100% means you use that kind of thinking more than average, and a score below 100% means you use it less. It says nothing about how good you are at any one, just how interested you are in each, relatively. A substantial difference in scores between two people means, conclusively, that they are different kinds of thinkers.
Matching Summary: Each of us has different tastes. Still, I offer the following advice, which I think is obvious:
- Don't date someone if your interpersonal percentages differ by more than 80%.
- Don't be friends with someone if your verbal percentages differ by more than 100%.
- Don't have sex with someone if their math percentage is over 200%.
|  |
My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: | You scored higher than 97% on interpersonal | | You scored higher than 69% on visual | | You scored higher than 76% on verbal | | You scored higher than 67% on mathematical |
