Oh Jozie! Sob. It's good to know I'm not the only
person who thinks Elvis' Grave is a good film:-) Since
we now don't have a venue/projector problem, I will
organize to screen it about a month from now. I'll
start spreading the word. Spread the word too. Bring
as many people as possible. Well, maximum 70 people:-)

Hi Mike. Hi all. Got some stuff going on at the moment
so if you have any ideas for the film festival just go
ahead with them. Mike, please please make that short
documentary about Edge of Reason, even if it's 5
minutes:-) We need more local content. Venue, someone
I know says he will negotiate a nice venue for us.
Will keep you guys posted. I'm busy with work for the
next two weeks and Shiku is busy with exams (Good luck
Shiku) so we'll all probably get together in two weeks
so we can really start the marketing process and tying
up lose ends.

Mildred.

Da!! How dumb can I be. I thought it was the 16th of this month.
Anyway I was thinking we should focus on adverts right now,pls Mil get
the venue(have you checked out the Memorial Park? It looks gud-ama am
takin you back). May be we cn gt a feature with insync or somethn,ama
we get it announced by Capital, am thinking they might want to market
themselves especially by the impending competition by rock fm,which I
found out;shares the same owner with Kiss FM. Where are we planning to
get cash for marketing. Coz am sure there are a lot of rock
enthusiasts in this country only the are not aware. So about sponsors,
I thnk you should talk to the guy who calls himself
abeldice/eyedollartee,on Kenya Punk his name keeps on changing! He
seemed to have some ideas. Hav u talked to the guy ama I  shld look
for him. By the way am working on how we can make a small documentary
on our band,"Edge of Reason". Al let you know about it.

1. Afro Punk www.afro-punk.com
2. Altered by Elvis www.alteredby.com
3. Elvis' Grave www.elvisgrave.com
4. Girls Rock www.girlsrockmovie.com

By the way, Herb told me today that due to some
unavoidable circumstances, the 21st July show has been
cancelled. Bummer.:-(

I'm still negotiating venue for the festival.

I'll follow up on the website.

I'm working on a blog for the festival. Will let you
guys know when I'm ready for people to read it.

Pray for me. As Evanesence put it, I'm going under.

Actually, I'm not. I'm just being melodramatic lol!

No matter how much I complain, I'm also VERY excited
about this film fest.:-)

Will keep you guys posted.

Friendship, fun and freedom to you all!

Mildred.

So what's happening on the 16t?I want to know whether you got any
sponsors, what films are being screened and did Carni kubali, plus how
is the website going on? . I had there is a concert at Fungamano, I
think on 21st July. Will you be attending? We cn meet there. So are
you the one who spoke to Habo coz he is the one organising the concert
and he requires that all performing bands give films of their practise
sessions.We can use these in the festi. What do you thnk? Lol!!

LOL!!! Just the kind of email I needed to read. I've
been feeling rather...yucky of late. Organizing this
film fest has begun to take its toll. Anyway, I agree,
it's time to start marketing. By the way, good things
are happening behind the scenes. I will let you guys
know once everything has been officialized. By the
16th (exactly one month to the festival) we'll get
this party started!!!

Right now with the way I'm feeling, I think I'm really
liking the first line of the National Anthem "Eh
Mungu, nguvu (yangu)" lol!

No they would not act as fillers. They would be the
main films:-)Kenyan films will be given top priority.
And by the way, I think if you're a film enthusiast -
be it just an avid film watcher or an aspiring film
maker - then you're already in the film industry:-)

I'm not in the industry, just an enthusiast and a soon to be film
student...and I guess I'm an amateur film maker and know a few people,
spend more money than I make (all that film maker jazz), but no, I am
NOT really in the film industry...:)

Interesting! I think that should be a sub-topic under
"rock: mzungu music?" cause when you start speaking of
race issues you have to address class issues (e.g the
Hurricane Katrina incident in the US).

It's true, Kenyans have that mentality. I think I
mentioned somewhere that I read an article where the
writer had the audacity to say that it's people west
of Uhuru Highway who listen to rock. I was like "What
the...? Dude, your ignorance is showing!" There was
once, many many lifetimes ago, that I worked as a door
to door salesperson. So one Saturday we were posted to
Umoja, which is not exactly Runda:-)But then I
suddenly heard the sweet sounds of U2 blaring out of a
certain house and of course, I just had to go and
knock. Long story short, there was a die-hard rock fan
living in Umoja. I'm not very good at geography but I
think Umoja is no where west of Uhuru Highway:-)

But then again, to be fair, there is a bit of truth in
what he wrote. Think about it. Most rock songs are in
English. Already anyone who didn't go to school or is
English-challenged is disqualified. But then again,
you can argue that rock is mainly about the music not
so much the words. But then again, you can argue that
the beauty of rock 'n' roll is usually its philosophy,
which is found in the lyrics of the songs. But then
again, you can argue that...lol!

Yeah. We should definitely have this discussion at
roffeke. Would be interesting to hear people's
opinions.

I think it's funny that in the US, rock is generally
considered to be lower-class music while here in Kenya
it's considered to be upper-class music. I wonder, why
the difference...?
