This week brought the announcement of Polaroid stopping production
of their instant Film by 2009. They will actually stop when there is
enough to last THROUGH 2009, meaning stopping sometime this year.
They stopped making new cameras 2 years ago.
I like the kitsch and look of the Polaroid. It's cool on many levels.
It produces in ways Digital never will.
It's a sad day for Artists and Photographers alike.
I attended the first meeting of the Helix High School 2008, 20 year reunion last night.
It was fun seeing everyone - there were 6 of us. Patti Horton (Delgadillo) is the
ring-leader and main organizer. She is getting a lot of help from people beside the other
5 of us (Crystal, Karin S, Kathy A, and Steve T) so I feel like the whole process will run smoothly.
We discussed the Agenda, places to have the Dinner, Mixer & Picnic. Some of it seems finalized,
other things should be decided upon in the next month or so. Half of the commitee is going to look at
a place that is reserved for the Dinner. The place sounds cool, but specifics need to be ironed out.
We each have a handful of small tasks that should move the process along smoothly.
Right now (preliminary) schedule is as follows:
Friday July 18th - DINNER
Coranado Cays Clubhouse - Coranado
Saturday July 19th - MIXER
TBD
Sunday July 20th - PICNIC
Ski Beach

phone numbers and information you want passed on. Thanks in advance.

Thank you TV Execs for being such assholes and ruining a great TV season.
For those of you that think being a designer is easy, coming up with a creative
idea is child's play and can do websites themselves... You are so correct!!!
Here's a product that will help you out.

AS almost anyone that knows me knows - I think the FOO FIGHTERS are the
greatest LIVE band there is. Not only that, they are original as hell when
it comes to videos. Their latest for "Long Road to Ruin" is like a 70's
soap opera and is a riot. They shot some of it in a mall in LA but only
part made it into their video HERE is the whole thing.
