Indie Media month Amazing Show

Listen Here
To close out the month of March we are happy to announce that we he have a double header: The director of a Transcendent Man, Robert Barry Ptolemy This is his 1st Feature and will be a very interesting conversation about the process of making this film.

The compelling feature-length documentary film, by director Barry Ptolemy, chronicles the life and controversial ideas of luminary Ray Kurzweil. For more than three decades, inventor, futures, and New York Times best-selling author Ray Kurzweil has been one of the most respected and provocative advocates of the role of technology in our future.

In Transcendent Man, Ptolemy follows Kurzweil around the globe as he presents the daring arguments from his best-selling book, The Singularity is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology. Kurzweil predicts that with the ever-accelerating rate of technological change, humanity is fast approaching an era in which our intelligence will become increasingly non-biological and millions of times more powerful. This film will be screened at The Palace of Fine Arts on April 14th
Transcendent Man: The Life and Ideas of Ray Kurzweil
Producer: Another Planet Entertainment, LLC

And If that isn't enough we are going to have a panel from the Local Cinema Speakeasy Girls that are producing a fun night where they are playing independent shorts and features and hosting an all around great party adding in such cool extras as drunken mix- tape

Cinema Speakeasy:San Francisco:

Cinema Speakeasy was created by Georgi Goldman and Saskia Wilson-Brown, former colleagues of ours and each other's at Current TV. They had both re-located from SF to LA and were looking for a way to celebrate independent films and their makers with like-minded people, building a community of artists, appreciaters, and imbibers. And thus, Cinema Speakeasy was born.

After a year of steadily building success, we (Allison Davis, Fhay Arceo, and Kate Sullivan Green) were inspired by our friends and created the San Francisco chapter of Cinema Speakeasy in October, 2010. While the mission remained the same, the format was tweaked a bit to cater to San Francisco audiences. CS:SF wanted to ensure that each monthly screening was more than folks gathered in a dark room watching the same movie, but was sincerely a social event. To ensure this, we insist that every single show comes with an interactive element, as well as a raffle with cool prizes from local retailers to reward our audience with.

Past nights include:

-Wah Do Dem, directed by Ben Chace: An indie comedy, that flew under the radar, Wah Do Dem tells the story of a Brooklyn hipster stranded solo in Jamaica with no passport, no girlfriend, and no shoes. But hey, at least it’s sunny and warm out! You could just replace “Brooklyn” with “San Francisco” and it’s like you’re right there, mon!

-Cinema Speakeasy's Drunken Mixtape: A curated evening of comedic shorts pulled from the year's festivals and friends. Patrons were encouraged to bring a mixtape which they dropped off upon entry; upon exit they were able to pick out a random mixtape made by another CS attendee. $1 raffle prizes from H&M, Brew Holster Cult, and Good Vibrations

-Warrior's Drink-a-long: It’s kind of like a sing-a-long, but with beer. Just like your favorite drinking games of yester-year, upon the agreed upon cues (such as every time the classic line, 'Can you dig it?' is uttered) everyone drinks! It’s a fun way to party with the CS:SF crew and watch your favorite cult classic, all in one! Folks were treated to custom buttons, pre-movie trivia, and raffle prizes courtesy of Beautiful/Decay, Funky Door Yoga, and a free massage.

Our next show, is May 5, and features the documentary D-TOUR. D-Tour, directed by Jim Granato, is an award-winning feature-length documentary that chronicles Pat Spurgeon’s search for a living organ donor and the challenges associated with finding a viable match. The filmmaker and movie's subject will be in attendance for a Q&A, as well as a mini-donor drive with the CA Transplant Donor Network.

Cinema Speakeasy:San Francisco is growing in size and scope, and in the near future will be partnering with upcoming awesome organizations such as Wholphin, Friends with Benefits, and Z-Space. We look forward to adding more flavor to the first Thursdays in San Francisco. Please find us at www.cinemaspeakeasy.com!

God Has a Wife? Duh.

Attention it has escaped the western civilaizations notice that God in Fact has a wife Asherah, whom the Book of Kings suggests was worshiped alongside Yahweh in his temple in Israel. I find this telling and reassuring that it explains once again how deeply imbalanced the role of female is in our society which as there is no role for the creator to have another half, but that the ultimate would be old and alone seems rather odd....
For Your Consideration God and Goddess :

RIP Jose Arguelles author of the Mayan FACTOR

Yesterday to Icon and Star seeds passed on one was a goddess that was a noble beauty and fearless lightworker, and the other was a fearless writer and light worker, whatever the special moment the skies are now brighter with our stars Liz Taylor and Jose Arguelles

The long Weekend of Spring and an opening of the heart

It has been a lovely weekend, for which I prepared and got most of my work done by Friday which has left me to have a very restful weekend. As Friday was the Heart Chakra dinner with friends and I had the best Green Tea ever, I have blissfully been care taking my body heart my and spirit. I watched Amelie, did lots of stretching and napping in prep for a very bust spring so I will continue to Stretch my mind my heart and my spirit with the beauty all around adn the worries to be overcome.

Today on Cultural rehab we Talk Moving Forward with SF Zeitgeist Crew

Cultural Rehab today at 4
I am super excited to have a panel of SF Zeitgeist members on the show today and we talk about what is happening locally and what is this all about when we can expect to see an ideal world.... kidding sort of. So if you wanted to know what the film is or the movement tune in and we will wrap your head around it. Or if the movie is still on your list use this as the motivation to get to it.

working in the yellow

This wonderful weekend was a test, often I have limited reserves of energy but I kept strong to wanting to be aware of what Zeitgeist was and the importance of this time as a culture and a planet and for me at 30 trying to find a resolution to what I am meant to do to make myself the person that is who I truly want to be. This morning I watched Susan Sarandon address the chilled and exhausted wisconsins who are battling the front line of our democracy as we know it. And I stood today very comfortable in my warm room unable to ride a bus to sac but unwilling to ignore the tatters of our education system either. In my English class, we will be reading Happier a bright Yellow best seller that oddly enough is a work book for what happy is, since in the preface it says that we are richer and unhappier now than we were in 1960 and that is also across the ponds as well. Timing is perfect right? Atlantis has been rediscovered of the coast of Spain as suspected for a long long time.... and Japan is under complete and utter shutdown. Clearly the changes will naturally be made but this is a process not easy, but I am honored to simply feel I am (we are this is) holding the space for what might be the turn around.
So a great quote "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" Leo Da Vinci. Over the weekend there was a lot of talk on how we do this and I was amazed at how relieved everyone was that there were more people that felt as confused as they did. And itching to get started however, there is still a lot of healing to do.... still a lot of cultural tattoo, and as Sonya Sophia taught me on the show and in her class is that we have a lot of negative associations with the word "Love" and have this sense of well that is cheesy and there fore dismissive of Graditude Journals and being trusting, but the truth is of course there are walls you are not happy as a rehearsed set of rules to be unhappy, so when you are given tools to be happy with they at first are seen as stupid. We are afraid to be happy. Our inner nagger would then lose power. Our inner nagger is going to fight for the right to control you daily. It is time to fight back.

LUV AMP

I love Kickstarter, Indy a GOGO and all the amazing sites out there that allow for small indie projects to get made. So this being my indie media month here is a cool looking project.... check it out.

It's a Thankful Job -

After a long hard week of getting' squeezed, I manage to get juiced enough to not spend my Friday in the comforts of home watching a documentary. I rallied and asked the Universal to give me the energy to do what I wanted to do. And I really did know that I wanted more to be a part of something that I really believed in and that was worth it. As always my tired was shed and by the time I made it to the women's building in the mission I was welcomed and back in a state of fresh. I am reminded that often when we need that energy we find it. (like how tired you are before going to the gym, but once you are there, it goes away) And so I was rewarded with a marvelous time of being with like-minded citizens and that gave me heaps of hope and enthusiasm as I listened to presentations met inneresting people, and shared in wine, and cider followed at the actual Zeitgeist bar. After party extended into the wee hours with dancing and cavorting with more extraordinaries... at the Public Works Alkemist event where painting, music and general acts of being beautiful occurred, all the while being inspired and sharing my story of this my work that I have created for myself. Which makes me think that at the end of a long week I love my life, my work, and it gives me the energy to do everything i could ever want to do and more than I can ever imagine.
So thankful to share my life with such beauty.

This week a panel of Zeitgeist SF! It's gonna be GREAT! Stay Tuned. And watch the movie I have the links in my documentary of the Week.

WTF vs OMG Ted edition

As you have guessed I am a big big fan of TED in fact it is the thread that sews me up when I get glum because this is US at our potential. Ted has just wrapped up and I am really excited by some of the amazeball things that came out including understanding algebra by redesigning and humanizing the classroom with technology! Growing a liver from a 3d printer and more. Sometimes it's great to wake up and know What will we think of next!



the 5th elements is almost here!!!!!!!

Lighter than air

This weekend I went to the Spa Avra organic and because this is about being open and honest I had a coffee colonic and followed it with the 3rd charkra vegan dinner.
The Spa experience was amazing uncomfortable and during my 1st time cleaning out my physical chakra space I really thought about what I was releasing both emotionally and physically. I then sat in the infared spa for 45 mins and began to sweat.... emotionally sweat physically sweat spiritually sweat over my life my losses and my gains and feel as present as I could feel all the while finding the forgiveness and insight into my heart and head that has lead to an immense sense of peace with the here and now. I gave birth this weekend to new creative ventures and released some fears on success and failure that have had nothing to do with the reality I live in. In the lightment is marvelous.  My point is take the risk and find your courage!

The dinner was amazing and I can only say that a good vegan dinner is pure artistry and alchemy this is a journey I am so blessed to be on.  As a part of my lesson I am wearing the color as nail polish to each dinner and keeping it for the following 2 weeks to keep me in the spirit.

Today on Cultural Rehab Maya Zuckerman is Opening a Conscious Global Conversation Will you Join US?

I met Maya Zuckerman at a Vegan Chakra Dinner Party she was helping serve the beautiful food and chatting about creating positive media, while spooning out the 1st course. She is charming and has an international and undeniable spirt and I can not wait to have her on the show and talk about all the many ways she has come to connect with her community. Tune in at 4-6 on FCCFREERADIO.com in Studio A and I bet she has an amazing playlist!
