Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:48:41 -0700

Cross Canadian Ragweed established itself as a relentless touring band throughout the Texas/Oklahoma area and then broadened its reach, nationally releasing several albums of rabble-rousing alt-country. Formed in 1994 in Stillwater, OK, the band took its name from those of its members: frontman and lead guitarist Cody Canada, drummer Randy Ragsdale, rhythm guitarist Grady Cross, and bassist Jeremy Plato. Though the band toured heavily from its inception, establishing a particularly strong fan base in Texas, it didn't release its first album until 2001 when Underground Sounds released Highway 377. Two more releases for the label followed, Live and Loud at the Wormy Dog (2001) and Carney (2002), before the band moved to Smith Music Group for Live and Loud at Billy Bob's Texas (2002). In 2004 the group signed to Universal South and released Soul Gravy, followed by Garage in October of 2005.

Some of the most important work we do as programmers involves pitching ideas. Whether it’s inside the team, searching for funders, or running demos for potential clients, we all need to present ideas and cultivate an audience.
The past decade has seen the rise of the presentation as an important communication medium, but few people do it well. There are many resources on how to make good-‐looking slides, but we need to focus on the method, structure, and content.
We don’t need to be "speakers" – we need to be teachers. In this session we’ll explore the five most essential rules to successful teaching and how they apply to uou.
Attendees will, by the end of the session, have a framework for designing and critiquing their work and that of others. This new understanding will make them better teammates and more successful salespeople.

Dec 11, 2009: Paula Poundstone at Rams Head On Stage - Rams Head Tavern Annapolis

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 20:57:01 -0700

On Friday, December 11th the Rams Head On Stage in Annapolis, MD is proud to present comedian Paula Poundstone. Armed with nothing but a stool, a microphone and a can of Diet Pepsi, Paula’s ability to create humor on the spot has become the stuff of legend. Little wonder people leave Paula’s shows debating whether the random people she talked to were “plants” – which, of course they never are, and complaining that their cheeks hurt from laughter. .

Paula’s spontaneity and razor-sharp wit have made her one of the most popular panelists on NPR’s hilarious weekly news quiz show, Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me. (2008 winner of the prestigious Peabody Award for Broadcasting excellence). Paula’s commentaries can be heard on NPR’s Morning Edition and read on the Huffington Post and comedy site: 23/6. Her first book, There’s Nothing In This Book That I Meant To Say, (with a foreword by Mary Tyler Moore) was published by Random House and she is hard at work on her second for the same imprint. She also just released her first comedy CD: I HEART JOKES: Paula Tells Them In Maine, 60 minutes of hilarious comedy recorded live at the sensational Stone Mountain Arts Center – because as Paula says, “It’s very hard to do it any other way.”
.
Paula has been named the 2009 National Spokesperson for (ALTAFF), The Association of Library Trustees Advocates Friends & Foundations, a national network of enthusiastic library supporters who believe in the importance of libraries as the social and intellectual centers of communities and campuses. Paula is supporting libraries on a local level by partnering with promoters and the local Friends organization in cities where she performs. The local Friends group receives tickets for use in fundraising or promotion as well as a portion of the book and CD sales after her performance where she makes herself available for signings. Says Poundstone: “It’s funny that we think of libraries as quiet demure places where we are shushed by dusty, bun-balancing, bespectacled women. The truth is libraries are raucous clubhouses for free speech, controversy and community. Librarians have stood up to the Patriot Act, sat down with noisy toddlers and reached out to illiterate adults. Libraries can never be shushed. If you haven’t been to your library lately, you’re over-due.”

Paula has had several solo specials on HBO and most recently, BRAVO. She was the first woman to win an ACE (the Cable EMMY) for Best Standup Comedy performance and the first woman to be invited to perform at the distinguished White House Correspondents dinner where those in attendance included the President. Paula has made frequent TV appearances including Letterman, Leno, Craig Ferguson, as well as Garrison Keillor’s, A Prairie Home Companion.

Nov 16, 2009: DC Drupal Meetup: Talks on WhiteHouse.gov + Managing News at Stetson's

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 01:15:49 -0700

The next DC Drupal meetup will be on Monday, November 16, at 7:00 pm at Stetson's Bar and Grill. We're breaking slightly from our standard format of 5 minute lightning talks this month, and instead will have two 10 minute presentations/demos:

* Dave Cole and Macon Phillips from the White House New Media Team will discuss the new WhiteHouse.gov platform.

* Alex Barth will demo the new Managing News, a fully open source news and data aggregator built on Drupal, and talk about some ways it's being used.

Also, we have a FREE ticket to next month's Do It With Drupal conference, a three day, multi-level Drupal training event put on by Lullabot, who are great Drupal trainers. To enter the raffle, RSVP with "diwd" in the comments at http://groups.drupal.org/node/34998 and come to the meetup. We'll print out the names of everyone who enters and pull a winner out of a hat at the meetup.

Hope to see you there!

Nov 17, 2009: Dc Film Society -- “coming Attractions Trailer Night” at Landmark's E Street Cinema

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 02:28:38 -0700

HOLLYWOOD MAKING ITS LIST AND CHECKING IT TWICE:
PREVIEW THE HOLIDAY BLOCKBUSTER SEASON AT
“COMING ATTRACTIONS TRAILER NIGHT”
DC FILM SOCIETY

George Clooney, Jude Law, Robert Downey Jr., Jim Carrey and George Clooney (yes, he’s starring in multiple flicks this season) -- blockbuster stars in classic tales and George Clooney in just about anything --are the themes for this holiday film season. You can get a preview of what’s coming your way by making your way to the Washington D.C. Film Society’s “COMING ATTRACTIONS TRAILER NIGHT” for Winter 2009.

D.C. Film Society has set the date for Tuesday, November 17, the time for 7pm, the price $8 and the place at Landmark’s E Street Cinema. (E Street between 10th & 11th St., N.W.) Hosts and film critics, Joe Barber and Bill Henry will return for an entertaining give and take with the audience to analyze just how the studios market these films to get us off the couch and into a theater seat. The audience will also get their say by voting on which trailers make them the most (or least) excited about the films that are on the way.

The list of trailers to be shown will be posted on line closer to the event date but a few of the many Possible films we to preview include: James Cameron’s Avatar—the maestro of Titanic goes for an action/adventure and sci-fi thriller rolled into one; Sherlock Holmes for a new generation with Robert Downey Jr. as the master sleuth and—are you ready for this?—Jude Law as Dr. Watson. Other previews might include: a new animated version of the Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol, where Jim Carrey (or the voice thereof) plays more than one role; New Moon, the latest in the Twilight series; Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) brings us the adaptation of the novel The Lovely Bones and the Disney entry for this season is The Princess and the Frog featuring for the first time an African-American princess.
Then there’s George Clooney, whose vehicles run the gamut from the “psychic spy thriller” The Men Who Stare At Goats to Up In The Air, the story of a corporate downsizer trying to fly his ten millionth mile, to the voice of a fox in Wes Anderson’s animated The Fantastic Mr. Fox. As the trade paper Variety used to say, Clooney equals “boffo box office.”

In a lower key, there is Precious, a sensation at the Cannes Film Festival, which tells the (fictional) story of a 350- pound, illiterate teenage girl who suffers from unspeakable abuse by her family, and the latest from Spain’s Pedro Almodóvar, Broken Embraces.

You get more than admission for your $8: lots of movie promotional items, movie posters, DVDs and raffles for movie tickets throughout the evening. “COMING ATTRACTIONS TRAILER NIGHT” is a unique event for folks in D.C. For more information and updates on the trailers to be shown, visit www.dcfilmsociety.org or email info@dcfilmsociety.org.

The Washington, D.C. Film Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to an appreciation of quality mainstream, international and independent films. Annual membership runs from June 1 through May 31 and includes free sneak previews and other events throughout the year. All proceeds from activities support the work of the Film Society and its parent organization, Filmfest DC, the Washington D.C. International Film Festival.
Tickets are available at the door starting at 6pm

Dec 7, 2009: Anjulie in Concert! at 9:30 Club

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:11:49 -0700

With her unique voice, disarmingly frank lyrics, melodic gifts, and exotic good looks, singer and songwriter Anjulie announces herself as a commanding new presence on the music scene. On her self-titled debut album, the Los Angeles-based songwriter comes across as a confident young woman who examines her life, loves, obsessions, and heartbreaks with fearless introspection. “I think what separates me from other artists is that I write from a really intimate place,” Anjulie says.“ This album is like me opening the door to my bedroom, literally. I come off as being pretty put-together, but my songs are the one place where I can pull the string and unravel. They’re where I can be vulnerable, insecure, jealous, silly, and childlike. It's too scary to do that in real life. You have to feel safe. I only feel safe with headphones on.”

Jul 10, 2010: ( KIDS SHOW ) Recess Monkey at Jammin Java - DC

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 18:30:10 -0700

"A brilliant, multilayered concept album of stories and songs heavily influenced by '60s rock. If Brian Wilson had written for kids, he would have created "The Pool," a song of yearning for time to pass while waiting to jump back in the water after lunch." -Kathy O'Connell, heard on NPR's Morning Edition

"Wonderstuff is the year's most ambitious kids' music album ... As I listened I thought more of another late '60s double-CD set from another English band -- the Who's Tommy. Though miles away from Pete Townshend's somewhat dark and disturbing storyline, Wonderstuff is, at its heart, also a rock-pop opera The story itself -- a hero quest worthy of Joseph Campbell -- will be of interest to kids ... With Wonderstuff, Recess Monkey have recorded another album bursting with energy and good spirits. Definitely recommended." -Stefan Shepherd, Zooglobble

"This Seattle trio knows how to get kids excited. On this CD, catchy hooks abound, as do sing-along choruses and goofy humor. The fast pace keeps the circus atmosphere alive across all 20 tracks." -COOKIE Magazine
