well, if you need an entire design dept once you find that position, I'm well used to filling that role. And hot-lanta would have to be better than "colder-than-cheney's-heart" Lake City...

Atlanta is great!!!

The following is some background/information about the event.

My name is Cynthia C. Liebtag. Last October my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a bilateral mastectomy. She was blessed to have emotional as well as financial support during that difficult time. I realized that not all women in Jacksonville are as fortunate so I began searching for a way to make a difference.

Through the Jacksonville Jaycees, I have initiated a charitable art show entitled "Give Breast Cancer the Brush Off By Helping Survivors Survive" to benefit The Donna Hicken Foundation. We have been asking artists to donate their paintings to this special cause.

The paintings will be sold at the Art Bar located in Riverside at 1261 King Street on Sunday, June 27, 2004, from 2-7 p.m. The money raised from the sale of the paintings will be given to The Donna Hicken Foundation. This Jacksonville based Foundation helps local women pay their monthly expenses as they recover from surgery/treatment of breast cancer.

One of the main goals of this project is to spread awareness of breast cancer itself as well as the existence of The Donna Hicken Foundation. This project will be able to help the cancer surviving women of Jacksonville continue to live. A true benefit of this project is that the money raised from the art show will go back into the community and not get lost in a huge national organization. By donating paintings to be sold for the benefit of The Donna Hicken Foundation, we can help women concentrate on the healing process not the bankruptcy process.

I would appreciate if you could spread the word to any artists that may be interested in donating their paintings. The Foundation will provide an "in kind letter" to the artist for tax deductible purposes if the painting is sold. If the painting is not sold, it will be returned to the artist.

The deadline for the paintings is June 1. Since I only got in contact with you today I can slightly extend the deadline if I have a definite commitment of a donation after that date (until June 11?). I do need time to give this information in a timely fashion to the Times-Union and to have pamphlets made for the day of the event.

You may have the interested artists contact me at (904) 353-2404 or cindyju96@aol.com to ask me any information you or they may need.

I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your support. Together, we can give breast cancer the brush off by helping survivors survive.

Yours truly,

I had a blast at the Jacksonville Film festival! My friend joE gave me a free pass to the movies and parties! Thursday night we watched Bloodhead by Christopher Coppola and then went out drinking with him till 5am! I invited him to have a drink with us at London Bridge across the street from the Florida Theatre. Jeff Larson and about five others joined us for a beer. Then I informed him that if he wanted to continue to party we had to purchase something to drink before 2am. He handed me 100 bucks and asked me to get drinks for us. I picked up ruby and Q and a ton of rum and headed to the Brooklyn Art Center. We stayed there for a while and then moved the party to a house in Riverside where Christopher could cook for us. He grilled sausage and peppers for us (about 8 people) at 4am! Christopher is a large biker dude that walks with a cane and is very outspoken. He said he dug my art.

Bloodhead is a funny creature feature spoof staring Linda Carter and the doc form the love boat. The movie is about two very different brothers who discover they have the same mother who has been willed them same trailer park community in the middle of the desert. Their mom was an archeologist who dug on sacred ground and unleashed an evil creature that is slowly killing off the people living in the trailer park. I liked it, thought it was funny.

Friday I was too tired to go to the early Bacardi party with joE but I made it out to see the NekRomantics. They sucked because their upright bass broke and we waited for an hour for them to fix it. I left after Dawn and Bryan got kicked out of Jackrabbits for almost fighting. Dawn spit beer on Dan and Bryan moshing in the pit and I think the bouncers thought Bryan was going to hit Dawn. I went up to Starlite for a few when joE called me and said he was at an after hours club with Mike Anderson, and some directors and actors. Mike was in town for the film festival because his friend Linden Ashby was staring in Shrinkrap. I drove out to meet them. The after hours club sucked, it was nothing but thug life and Latino hip-hop? So we stood outside for a while and then went home.

Saturday we met Mike and saw Shrinkrap by Doug Cox staring Linden Ashby and Kyle T. Heffner. It was a warm comedy spoof on Hollywood about an aspiring (online university) psychology student who gets stuck at a soap opera stars house and gets involved in their personal drama. After the flick we went out to dinner at Kasbah with Mike and Linden. Sarah also joined us and we all had a nice time getting to know Linden. http://www.lindenashby.org/index.shtml Linden said he liked my art and wants to see it in person.

After dinner, Linden emceed the awards and we all watched the movie Rick. Rick is very well produced staring some big names. It's a drama about an evil man that has fun destroying people. But an innocent girl curses him; one of his victims and then proceeds to gets what he deserves for being evil. I liked it except for I don't think they spent enough time getting me to really hate the evil guy or showing how evil he is because as he starts to get his punishment you feel sorry for him plus and once you can see the ending coming, it does not come fast enough.

After Rick we (Mike, Sarah, Linden, Kyle, Doug, Robin) went to the Bacardi party at 100 Laura St on the 8th floor. Free Bacardi, tons of food, dancers, body painting, crappy DJ, and a Peterbrooks CHOCOLATE FOUNTIAN! I need a new liver and a new diet pill. Sarah and I tried to devise a way to steal the chocolate shell filled with chocolate covered popcorn. I fantasized about prat falling and spilling my drink all over Randy Goodwin, the dick who owns PRI and provided the props and lighting for the party. But I chickened out, he'll get his, maybe I'll put a curse on him. I saw Miko, Joel and Jessica, Roger and Shawn Thurston.

Then I went to an after party at my house where the Downshifters, Karla and others from the Tiger Army show were hanging out. It was good to see the Downshifters again but Jim, Kayla and Rubi were being dicks to Karla so I kicked everyone out around 5am.

Sunday, I went to the final Bacardi party at the Florida Theater and then to see Tropic of Cancer, Tracy Pain and joE play at the Brooklyn Film party. Lots of people came out for this and the free keg. I bought two super cool books from Chris Spawn and got to see the film shot at Starlight. Jason and Bryan came out, Sarah Masters, Elizabeth, and her friends were all out.

Monday was a recovery day. I hung out with Sarah, silence, Harlow, joE, and met Joyce and Ryno up at the New Fox. I gave Iggy some Advantage for fleas and it gave him an allergic reaction making his skin break out in an itchy rash. I gave him some benadrill and shaved his fur down. After dinner, I came back to find that he had gotten under my chair and scraped his hair and first layer of skin off his back. He was shacking and going insane. I took him to the emergency hospital and they gave him a shot to stop the itching, a shot for pain, shaved his hair off, and made him a body sock to wear. I have to put on ointment three times a day and he is on antibiotics. It cost me 211.00 bucks! Im so broke now! Poor Iggy! He looks so bad in the sock and he still itches! Not as bad I still have him on benadrill. The funny thing is he has a hole for his pecker! The doctor gave me a clean sock to use in a few days and he said that I would have to cut the hole for his pecker myself after the sock was on him. The doc said pecker! HA!

Tuesday I was back to work. Linden called me and said he would call me around 2pm to go look at my art. I went down to the gallery to make sure everything looked good. Two came and went. At three thirty I checked my messages to find that he had called at 1:45 looking for me. I MISSED HIS CALL! I cant believe it! There was no missed call notice on my phone and no new message beep! How did this happen! Damn Murphys law! I call him and leave a message to call me back at 3:30. At 4:30 I call and he answers! I say Im sorry I missed his call, he says he is sorry too but now he is busy and will call me in the morning. I give him the gallery address.

Wednesday. Linden does not call in the morning so I call him around 2pm. He answers and I tell him that I did not mean to blow him off. He says YOU SO DID! YOU STOOD ME UP! I said I did not mean to stand him up but that I did not hear my phone ring and I did not get a missed message alert or a new message alert. I told him I called as soon as I checked my messages at 3:30 and got his message and that I felt like an ass. I said I had enjoyed meeting him and wanted to say goodbye. He said that he enjoyed meeting me too and still wants to see my art in person and will call me next time he is in town and that he wants to go to my next show. I cant believe I missed the call! Damn! Johnny Cage could have bought my art!
