Opportunity to have dinner with Barack Obama....
Let me know if you contribute.... :)
https://donate.barackobama.com/dinner
Message from Barack Obama...
A couple of weeks ago I sat down to dinner with four supporters like you.
Christina, Haile, Margaret, and Michael each made a small online donation, and we flew them across the country for some good food and good conversation.
What I enjoyed most about this dinner was the opportunity to listen to the stories and concerns of ordinary Americans in a relaxed environment. Out on the campaign trail, there isn't always time for that kind of interaction.
Last week we started planning our second dinner, and on Friday evening at 6:42 pm, a woman named Dorothy Unruh of Lakewood, Colorado made a donation.
I'm pleased to announce that Dorothy will be one of my guests for the second dinner. You could join us if you make a small donation before 11:59 pm tomorrow, Tuesday, July 31st:
https://donate.barackobama.com/dinner
Here's what Dorothy told us about herself:
I'm a senior citizen fed up with the current state of our government. I'm sad that our great nation has lost its stature in the eyes of the rest of the world. I have been a registered Republican for years, but recently officially changed parties so I can attend the Democratic caucus and help elect Senator Obama. He is like a breath of fresh air to my husband and me.
Dorothy has never taken part in a political campaign before, but she and millions of other voters who want change are going to be the key to Democratic victories up and down the ballot next year.
I'm looking forward to having dinner with Dorothy, but there are still three seats left at the table. Will you be in one of them?
If you make a donation by 11:59 pm tomorrow, Tuesday, July 31st, you could join us for dinner very soon:
https://donate.barackobama.com/dinner
We'll pay for your trip and the meal -- all you need to bring is your story and your ideas about how to make this a better country for all Americans.
Small donations from ordinary Americans have set our campaign apart and allowed us to reject the influence of Washington lobbyists and special interest groups. Not only is your support the key to our success, it's essential to reclaiming a government that is of the people, by the people, and for the people.
I hope you will make a donation now and participate in this opportunity. Take ownership of your part in this campaign and strengthen your role in our movement.
Together we can put an end to pay-for-influence politics. We can turn the page in Washington, and it all begins with you.
Thank you for your support,
Barack Obama

MatchStar Venture Search will be featured with a monthly blog on the home page

of sorts for the tech exec community, where MatchStar President Carolyne Connor

people and growth opportunities. The monthly blog can be found on the home page
of AlwaysOn at www.AlwaysOn.goingon.com or directly at

POSITION: Director of Web Marketing. This is management position, but need
someone who will be hands-on. You will have no people reporting to you
initially. Need someone that can wear many different hats and lead by example.
Need someone with experience managing vendors. The company's business plans
calls for 30 total employees within the next year. At least 1/3 of those
employees will be in sales and marketing. Need someone who will be hands-on and
can just roll up their sleeves and get the job done.
COMPANY: Early stage technology company with about 15 employees which needs to
build up its marketing team. The company has built a mobile content delivery
platform and has a consumer facing website which is the easiest place to share
and sell mobile content. Through viral growth the company has created a great
way for big name brands targeting 18-24 year olds to reach their market via
mobile phones. The company is already generating revenues. Their growth rate is
about 30% month-over-month. Their website is generating close to three million
impressions a day on the web with more than 5 million mobile downloads per
month. This is an excellent opportunity to get in early just after the company
has closed its Series A financing.
LOCATION: Company is located in southern Florida. Prefer candidates already
living within commuting distance. However, the company will consider relocating
the right candidate. Working remotely is not an option.
COMPENSATION: Compensation will include an annual base salary in line with
experience level and market rates for a start-up company as well as equity
participation in the company. The company is willing to put together the right
package in order to bring on board the right candidate. Benefits include health
insurance and 401k.
MANAGEMENT STYLE/CORPORATE CULTURE: Currently, the position reports to the
CEO. Company will only hire someone who is a team player and does not need to
be micromanaged. Basically, the CEO prefers to agree to a set of objectives
making sure that the objectives are clearly outlined and understood by the
individual, then let the individual execute the plan. There will be frequent
and at least, weekly check points to measure and achieve success initially but
after that, as required, to set strategy and direction. Individual must be able
to go to the CEO when in need of help. CEO will only hire someone that is very
entrepreneurial and passionate with a burning hunger for success; someone with a
vision who is also coach-able. Corporate culture is very casual, open, and
honest. Team is very interested in the success of their product. Most of the
existing employees have been with the company from the early days and have
invested their own money and time into the company. They tend to act more like
a partnership. They have very blurred organizational boundaries; it is very
unstructured, but effective.
POSITION REQUIREMENTS:
-- Must currently hold (or within the last 12 months have held) a position as
Manager or Director at an Internet company and/or web-based company responsible
for brand management, public relations, lead generation, media buying, email
marketing, corporate website management and general guerilla marketing.

and any internet site that has pictures or music that needs to be downloaded to
mobile phones.
-- Would like to have someone who has established a brand or repositioned one.
Would like to have someone who has experience in the 18-24 marketplace. Would
like to have someone with product marketing experience (competitive analysis,
customer feedback leading to product enhancement recommendations).
-- Must be able to write and improve the copy of the corporate website and the
consumer facing website. Need someone who can manage the external relationship
with PR while managing care and customer feeding through our artist and user
newsletters.
-- Must have significant lead generation experience. Need someone that will be
good at data mining our existing user and content owner databases and then
create future lead generation strategies.

The Wrath Of WERNER HERZOG, & more!
“We comprehend... that nuclear power is a real
danger for mankind, that over-crowding of the planet is the greatest danger
of all. We have understood that the destruction of the environment is another
enormous danger. But I truly believe that the lack of adequate imagery is a
danger of the same magnitude. It is as serious a defect as being without memory.
What have we done to our images? What have we done to our embarrassed
landscapes? I have said this before and will repeat it again as long as I am
able to talk: if we do not develop adequate images we will die out like dinosaurs.”
-Werner Herzog

The Wrath of WERNER HERZOG:
Aguirre, The Wrath of God (Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes)
(Germany/1972) “A breathtaking journey into the heart of darkness”
With Klaus Kinski, Helena Rojo, Ruy Guerra
The first of five stormy collaborations with madman-actor Klaus Kinski, Aguirre,
The Wrath Of God is a spectacularly horrifying chronicle of imperialism gone amok,
set in the mid-1500s. A Spanish expedition searching the Amazon for the mythical
city of El Dorado falls into the hands of Don Lope de Aguirre (Kinski), a power-
driven lunatic who dreams of stealing an entire continent. Stunningly photographed
by Thomas Mauch, Herzog's masterpiece takes the viewer on a mad voyage, with a
typical Herzog anti-protagonist proclaiming to be above the laws of nature,
only to find out he is not. In German with English subtitles.
Critics Award Best Foreign Film French Syndicate of Film Critics

“NOT TO BE MISSED! A film of such self-assured hallucinatory clarity and

The Wrath of WERNER HERZOG:
The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser (Germany/1974)
“Do you not then hear this horrible scream all around you that people usually call silence?”
With Bruno S., Walter Ladengast, Brigitte Mira
Based on a bizarre 19th century true
story, with fiction and reality blurring as in all Herzog films, once again the story
focuses on a man out of tune with his environment. A young man is released from
the sixteen year mysterious imprisonment that left him totally unable to communicate
in the outer world. The Nuremberg townspeople take an immediate interest in the
novelty placed among them, and Kaspar (Bruno S.) is studied, “adopted”, made a
cause celebre, and “educated”. In Herzog’s eyes, the real freaks are the ones who
have been corrupted by society or who corrupt society, and Kaspar is “full of basic
uncontaminated human dignity”. The German title reveals a bit more about the
all-powerful effect of nature over the entire fable-like scenario: “Every Man For
Himself, and God Against All.” In German with English subtitles.

Milstead, the mother of the late actor/drag queen superstar DIVINE (star of John
Waters films such as Pink Flamingos, Polyester, and the original Hairspray). This
documentary champions human rights by capturing a glimpse of the life of Frances
and her courageous humanitarian spirit while she tells her love story to her deceased
son (originally named Harris Glen Milstead), and becomes a mother to an entire community.
Meet Divine’s mother FRANCES, in person!
"Of course the last thing my parents wanted was a son who wears a cocktail

Dream Supreme is a musical fantasy about the chance affair between two of
America’s most loved icons, Marilyn Monroe (played by Jasmine Akash, the
former Miss Universe from Russia) and jazz legend John Coltrane (played by
another jazz legend Leo Casino). Jasmine and Leo perform some of the most
popular songs recorded by Marilyn and Coltrane. The entire film (which
originated as a stage play and is now under the direction of the great Jane
Caroll) takes place in the bedroom of John Coltrane. It is love at first sight,
and a roller coaster of emotions follow throughout as Marilyn is entranced
by Coltrane’s seductive charms.
A LIVE concert will follow with the fabulous duo of Leo Casino & Maryel Epps
And other musical guests!

Kamp Katrina (Ashley Sabin/2007) Return engagement!
Kamp Katrina is set post-Hurricane
Katrina in New Orleans where Ms. Pearl, an Upper 9th Ward resident offers
her backyard to 14 displaced people to make a self-made tent community,
“Kamp Katrina.” Confronted with limited resources, they attempt to create
a community for the residents of Kamp Katrina. Ms. Pearl is forced to wear
as many hats as she does costumes providing construction jobs and basic
resources to help assist in rebuilding the city.
“A Standout movie—Kamp Katrina is a snapshot of the slowly evolving human
dramas in the aftermath of the hurricane”—Austin American Statesman
“Bizarrely entertaining, refreshing, and revealing”—Baltimore City
COMPLIMENTARY Admission
August 17 FRI 8:30pm:
The Wrath of WERNER HERZOG:
Stroszek (Germany/1977)
With Bruno S., Eva Mattes, Clemens Scheitz
Eva: “Well, taking a boat to New York and Florida... Isn't there a park there?
What's it called? Where the bears run around free?”
Bruno: “That's the Grizzlies.”
Capitalist America is the modern corrupted society, with the same actor Bruno S.
(from Kaspar Hauser) in a newly alienated position in a newly developed land:
Wisconsin. His move from Germany to escape an alcoholic life goes nowhere,
since for starters he brings along his neighbor and a village prostitute. Like
Aguirre searching for his “Holy Grail” El Dorado, Bruno finds that America is
not what it seems from afar, but Herzog sees the film not so much as a critique
of American ideals, but a “eulogy” amidst the American Dream. It could happen
anywhere. Written in four days, and shot in unadorned documentary style with
the actors basically playing versions of their own lives, the film is a natural gem
that proves some of the most successful ideas are the obvious ones.
In German and English with English subtitles.
“Without a doubt, one of the greatest movies ever made”—New York Press
"Werner Herzog is the most visionary of contemporary German filmmakers.
Whatever he does is interesting. "--Joseph Gelmis, Newsday
August 24 FRI 8:30pm:
The Wrath of WERNER HERZOG:
Fitzcarraldo (Germany/1982)
With Klaus Kinski, José Lewgoy, Claudia Cardinale
The power of the cinematic image as well as Herzog’s intense determination in
filmmaking is displayed in Fitzcarraldo, one of his most well known and magestic
films. Klaus Kinski plays a “Conquistador of the Useless”, a wealthy industrialist
who dreams of bringing the European opera to the Amazonian jungle. In order for
it to come to fruition financially, his plan is to haul a full sized riverboat over a
mountain to create a new port for utilizing valuable remote rubber trees. The
actual outrageous idea is accomplished by the film crew and the film’s character
with the help of the Peruvian natives, in a spectacular historical feat that was too
perfect for a making-of documentary (Burden Of Dreams, which is as amazing as
the fiction film). Like Herzog’s crazy protagonist, the director’s life depended on
the project, for four years. And like life, it inevitably does not all go as planned.
In German with English subtitles.
Best Director Cannes Film Festival
Outstanding Feature Film German Film Awards
“I live my life or end my life with this film”—Werner Herzog
August 31 FRI 8:30pm:
The Wrath of WERNER HERZOG:
Little Dieter Needs To Fly (Documentary/1998)
(The documentary that Herzog’s latest feature, Rescue Dawn, is based on.)
“Men are often haunted...they seem to be normal, but they are not”
With Dieter Dengler
Before his latest film Rescue Dawn, which was based on the true harrowing
experiences of German-American pilot Dieter Dengler, Werner Herzog made
this documentary about his life. Dieter Dengler re-enacts for Herzog the grueling
trek from captivity he endured in Vietnam, as well as the thoughts and emotions
associated with it—the real ones.
Special thanks to the Werner Herzog Film Office, Munich Germany
“Inspiring, charming, sad and all but tragic, in a Greek-literary sense —
and a character that might have sprung from the brow of Herzog, if not Zeus.”
– John Anderson, Newsday.

Spike Lee’s When The Levees Broke
26 THU 8:30pm: Parts III & IV
As the world watched in horror, Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans on
August 29, 2005. Like many who watched the unfolding drama on television
news, director Spike Lee was shocked not only by the scale of the disaster,
but by the slow, inept and disorganized response of the emergency and
recovery effort. Lee was moved to document this modern American tragedy,
a morality play witnessed by people all around the world. The result is
WHEN THE LEVEES BROKE: A REQUIEM IN FOUR ACTS. The film is
structured in four acts, each dealing with a different aspect of the events
that preceded and followed Katrina's catastrophic passage through New Orleans.

The “Crossover Cinema” of Leon ICHASO
Bitter Sugar (Azucar amarga) (1996)
With René Lavan, Mayte Vilán, Miguel Gutiérrez
Director of Phtography: Claudio Chea
Somewhere between hope and despair, a beautiful relationship triumphs and
despite the odds, two people discover the true meaning of love in BITTER
SUGAR. Set against the volatile backdrop of modern-day Havana, Gustavo,
an idealistic honor student, Cuba's "new man" and Yolanda, a realistic and
beautiful young dancer, share little in common, especially their radically
opposing political views. But despite their differences they fall madly in love
while the world as they know it crumbles before them. Inspired by actual events,
director Ichaso, who co-wrote the film with Orestes Matacena, based the
screenplay on several people's lives, weaving fact and fiction into an emotional
compelling story. The result is a moving, gritty and realistic look at two
people whose passion and intensity cannot overcome their struggle.

Piñero (2001)
With Benjamin Bratt, Talisa Soto, Giancarlo Esposito, Rita Moreno, Mandy Patinkin
Director of Photography: Claudio Chea
Benjamin Bratt stars in this true story of ‘Nuyorican’ (Puerto Ricans living
in New York) poet Miguel Piñero, whose urban poetry is recognized as a
precursor to rap and hip-hop music. This explosive Latino icon wrote the
1974 Tony-nominated play Short Eyes, which stemmed from his experience
of doing time in the hard-core Sing-Sing prison for petty thefts and drug
dealing. Pinero’s gift and success was hampered only by a fierce addiction
to heroin that was caused by his inability to deal with the sudden fame.
This habit eventually caused him to contract AIDS which led to his death in 1988.

Free Conscious Cinema Film Screening: When the Leeves Broke
As the world watched in horror, Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans on August 29, 2005. Like many who watched the unfolding drama on television news, director Spike Lee was shocked not only by the scale of the disaster, but by the slow, inept and disorganized response of the emergency and recovery effort. Lee was moved to document this modern American tragedy, a morality play witnessed by people all around the world. The result is WHEN THE LEVEES BROKE: A REQUIEM IN FOUR ACTS. The film is structured in four acts, each dealing with a different aspect of the events that preceded and followed Katrina's catastrophic passage through New Orleans.
Following the film on each night will be a hurricane preparedness course.

Free Conscious Cinema Film Screening: When the Leeves Broke
As the world watched in horror, Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans on August 29, 2005. Like many who watched the unfolding drama on television news, director Spike Lee was shocked not only by the scale of the disaster, but by the slow, inept and disorganized response of the emergency and recovery effort. Lee was moved to document this modern American tragedy, a morality play witnessed by people all around the world. The result is WHEN THE LEVEES BROKE: A REQUIEM IN FOUR ACTS. The film is structured in four acts, each dealing with a different aspect of the events that preceded and followed Katrina's catastrophic passage through New Orleans.
Following the film on each night will be a hurricane preparedness course.
This is a Family-Friendly event with a minimum age with an adult being 13. PLEASE REGISTER IN ADVANCE.
