Thanks to all the CCTV interns and staff that made it to this event. A fun time was had by all, whether they chose to ice skate or not, at the Kendall Square Community Ice Skating rink last Saturday.

Attention all CCTV Interns (current and some recently former):

You are cordially invited to the event below:

What: CCTV¹s Intern Appreciation Picnic aka ³Springtern² Picnic!!!
When: Sat 5.12.07 at 1-4pm
Where: CCTV¹s backyard (Rain location: CCTV¹s Big Studio)

PLEASE RSVP by 5/4/07 via email or phone or in person to Marissa .

For those of you who caught last December¹s ³Wintern² event, you can expect
the same camaraderie and delicious nourishment at this event.

But there will also be more!

-If weather permits, we will have a small BBQ grill we can use to feed you
both veggie and non-veggie burgers and hot dogs (and anything else you would
like to grill!)

-This event will also be a POTLUCK. This is not mandatory but do bring side
dishes and desserts if you¹d like!

-Our very own D.L. Polonsky will be on hand to draw CARICATURES of you
interns! He¹s pretty talented‹check out his sketch of Barack Obama in CCTV¹s
back hallway.

-And in keeping with our ³spring² theme, we will have some end of the school
year fun with some friendly, competitive FIELD DAY activities. Depending on
the weather, activities may include: 3 legged race, wheelbarrow race, potato
sack race, rope jumping competition, hula hoop marathon, tug of war
(I am DYING to see a tug of war between Cablecasters and Computer Central
interns!)

-YOU will also be the dj! Bring a CD to add to the mix. Whether indoors or
outdoors, we WILL have some tunes.

So come spend Saturday 5/12 afternoon with fellow CCTV interns and staff.
You may meet some new people and you may get to see people you don¹t often
get to see.

If you have any questions about this event, just contact me at the email
address/phone number below. I look forward to seeing you there!

A few weeks ago I went to a lecture for the E-Fux Video rental system that has been installed at the SERT gallery at the Carpenter Center in Harvard. Since then, I have been renting videos every other day -

The "exhibition" runs from February 8–April 13, 2007

It was created to give a wider audience to video art and video artists. These tapes that usually go for $75 to rent from a distributer are here for your renting pleasure at NO COST. Renting is free, Membership is free!

Video art was created as a low cost art form where it could be displayed anywhere. Living rooms, bathrooms, basements, kitchens, alley ways, could become a gallery in which to view art. E-Flux does the same and delivers that same aesthetic to us the culture creators.

I urge everyone to check out this exhibition before it goes away. With every rental I have found something that interests me. Right now I'm on this kick with these russian video artists:

Viatcheslav Mizan & Alexander Shaburov

More info can be found at

E-Flux at harvard

I've decided to return to CCTV on the recommendation of my therapist.

My first steps and creative accomplishment for greater recognition are supplied in this following clip. I recently produced this to promote my new BeLive: Jamie O'Brien: LIVE.

I hope you enjoy it and tune in next week Tuesday February 6th 7:00 pm (soon to be 7:30)

Hey Marissa's interns,

I'm planning a "Wintern" meeting/potluck for you all.

When: Wed 12/20 @ 630-9pm
Where: CCTV's Big Studio

In case you are stumped, this is what happens when you combine winter w/ intern. It gets a little out of control.

The meeting should take no more than an hour between 630-730pm and after that feel free to stay as long as you'd like and party.

At this meeting we will meet each other and explain what our role is at CCTV and then we'll eat a lot of food. If you can, please bring one item of food/beverage to share w/ everyone else. Feel free to bring music too.

Let me know asap if you can make it!!! And let me if you think you'll bring food or beverage. (Doing this is not mandatory--CCTV will also provide some snacks as well).

Hope to hear from you soon,
Marissa
