Hall, built in 1895, is a beautiful recently renovated space with state
of the art screening room, and is also home to the Dvorak Room for the
famed composer, and the Czech Consulate.
It's
June 2009, and the Minnesota Supreme Court is hearing the Franken v.
Coleman case. While Franken has been declared the winner of the election,
and won in court again, disgraced former Senator Norm Coleman is pushing
this as far as he can, with the help of George W. Bush's lawyer from
2000, Ben Ginsberg (see scary photo below). I have done some work with
TheUptake.org
in Minnesota, a great grassroots media site, in covering the case.
Al Franken in front of his house in Minneapolis is ruled the winner
in Minnesota; Republican Norm Coleman will be appealing to the Minnesota
Supreme Court. When will the insanity end?
Ben Ginsberg, who helped George W. Bush win the 2000 election by appealing
to the US Supreme Court, may try to do the same thing with Norm Coleman
this year. So far, they've made it to the Minnesota State Supreme Court.
On
Monday April 6, a film I worked on, "Pizza: The Movie"
had it's national TV premiere on the Documentary
Channel. This film by Michael Dorian is sure to become a cult classic
- it features the best competitive pizza dough tossers in the world.
I did sound mixing and contributed some music for the film. (Make sure
to have pizza on hand while watching - you WILL want to eat pizza during
this film.) Here is the whole thing, thanks to the power of YouTube,
and the Documentary Channel.
