Age+of+Stupid

Have gotten into contact with the Alumni association and they are going to consider showing the movie. Will follow up with further information and planning of the event

was contacted by Gayle about partnering up with **Angi Zamarripa** to show a movie at the wealthy street theater

The Age of Stupid is a film about Global Warming set in the year 2055. On the eve of the UN General Assembly's climate session, The Age of Stupid was launched internationally and was the biggest and greenest live film event the world has ever seen. (The event is now part of the Guinness Book of World Records) Ultimately the film was broadcast via live satellite from New York city to 550 cinemas in 63 countries. Their goals are to encourage people to take action before the UN climate summit which will meet in Copenhagen in December 2009 to finalize the successor to the Kyoto Treaty and also to encourage people to cut their own personal carbon emissions by 10% in 2010.

We want to try and do a screening of the movie "The Age of Stupid"

Wealthy street theater meeting:

(we will talk with the Alumni association about doing this- emailed them!) -got the word back from the association they are interested and we will talk further about this

paying a deposit for the site is possible (then via ticket sales will offset the price) -week night (wed) $200 (more than that to rent it) - (if the college could be used to help us it would put the event as an NPO which would knock off $150) We can put a request on the date that we want, and when the deposit is paid then it will be official

in to the 500-600 dollar range for total rental (panel discussion would add an extra charge)
