Portland Actors’ Conservatory gets accredited!

I am super excited that my alma mater, The Portland Actors’ Conservatory, is on it’s way to being accredited!  It is a quality acting school and totally deserves it.

World Hoop Day!

So World Hoop Day is on 08/08/08 this year which is next week! World Hoop Day is dedicated to bringing hula hoops to underprivileged children living in extreme poverty and underdeveloped neighborhoods of our world. There are events going on all over the world on that day…check out www.worldhoopday.com to see what is going on in your area!

I am excited because we are moving to the Bay Area on Friday so I will be able to go to the HUGE event that’s happening in SF on World Hoop Day. The founder of World Hoop Day, Annie O’Keefe, is now a Bay Area local, so it’s gonna be BIG!

Shut ‘Er DOWN…(said in hillbilly accent)

Well I had to shut down my Cafe’ Press store today because I was breaking the licensing terms of Getty Images by using the photos to sell things, etc. I honestly had no idea…oops! The lawyer from Getty who emailed me about it was very nice, so it’s all good.

So those of you out there who have an Everywhere Girl product, wear it with pride and know it’s a limited edition!

NOTE:  By the way, I had already licensed the photo, I wasn’t just using it willy nilly…it doesn’t matter, it was still against the licensing agreement…shows you how much I read the fine print…sorry Getty!

But I may be making some more products soon with some other pictures…MY pictures…I’ll keep y’all posted.

“The Hooping Life” Trailer

Hey guys, here is a trailer for a really kick-ass movie that is coming out about hooping, called “The Hooping Life”.  It’s a documentary about hoopers, and the new hoop revolution that is happening now!

In order to get the film into theaters, they need to convince distributors that a movie about hooping is “not just for kids, but that it is for everyone who has ever felt touched by movement, creativity or the sweetness of community.”

Hooping has changed my life for sure, and this a really cool way to get other people to be more aware of what hooping really is!  So please, join me in getting the world excited about “The Hooping Life”!

First, check out the trailer:

If this seems like a cool film you would want to be able to see in theaters soon:

• Share the YouTube trailer all over the internet, they are aiming to get 1,000,000 hits on it. They also have some other cool videos on their YouTube Channel.

• Become a fan of “The Hooping Life” on Facebook, and share the page with your Facebook pals.

• Join The Hooping Life’s Tribe and get all your Tribe friends to join too.

• Become their friend on MySpace and share their profile with your MySpace friends too.

• Do you know someone who has a well-known blog, or writes for a local paper? Every little bit of exposure can help them get the word out!

Thanks for checking it out guys,

Hi to the Slate readers and an update!

Hey all you Slate readers…welcome to my blog!  If I had known you were coming, I would have baked a cake.  Actually I would have done the work on this blog that I have been meaning to do, but it has been really low on the priority list!  So this will have to do for now.  It’s nice to see you here, it’s funny that Slate is just now writing about this.  If you are wanting to see some of my current sightings, check out a huge list here.  I am sure there are more out there in the world, but who can keep track?  Well, Idee actually does a pretty good job of it.  And of course, The Inquirer does too…where would I be without them?  Living a boring existence without random fame, I guess…*sigh*.

Anyway, I also wanted to give you all an update of what’s going on in my world.  I am getting ready to move to Berkeley where my boyfriend and I are renting a great little townhouse in Emeryville (right outside the Berkeley border).  It is only a couple of years old and nice and big with space for me to hoop, my boyfriend to work from home, and just enough room for us and our 5 animals!  It’s a cool up-and-coming area with lots of restaurants and stuff, and is home to both Pixar and Wham-O…which for a WALL-E lover and hooper like me, is pretty rad!

I start Berkeley on August 27th, which I am both excited and nervous about.  I rocked it in community college, but as I am constantly being reminded, Berkeley is not going to be as easy.  But I am up for the challenge and looking forward to living in my second favorite city…finally!  I have always wanted to live in SF, and here I am, about to move there!  My dad lived there for a long time when I was younger, so it has a special place in my heart for sure.  His ashes were actually spread in the Bay very close to where we will be living so I feel as though he will be watching over me (like he isn’t already), but I will feel even closer to him in a weird way.   It is also a huge hooping mecca, so that will be really good for me too!

So yeah, life is good…I’ll keep you guys posted on stuff soon!
