Star Wars Celebration 2010 brings Smiles to Orlando

I know the Star Wars Celebration V happened this past weekend here in town, so I decided to try and find some video from the event. I found some crappy video, and lots of “get ready for it” type videos. The best one I’ve seen to date is actually semi-officialy created by the Orange County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, with their Orlando Smiles campaign. Last year, they had a contest and eventually hired a couple to create a video every day for 67 days… not sure why 67 exactly, but there it is… and now there is this damn good video about the official fan convention for Star Wars, held at the Orange County Convention Center, not far from several huge theme parks and tons of attractions and other touristy activities. Must be pretty cool for people who don’t live here.

From August 12 – 15, 2010 more than 25,000 fans from all over the world gathered in Orlando, Florida to celebrate the phenomenon that is Star Wars. Here’s a look at the festivities hosted by one of the world’s most popular vacation destinations.

Miro Community Video Site

What do you make of this, kids? Looks like the fine folks who make the excellent Miro Player are up to some new tricks. I created a sample site and imported a bunch of Orlando Video and OrlandoSceneTV content.

Eternal Instincts: Jessica Earley (by Hannah)

Yes our puppet-loving friend Hannah Miller (of Thunderhag) is up to it again, this time with a video documenting a recent art opening at Taste by another one of our featured creators on this site, Jessica Earley.

Jessica’s show at Taste is her first solo show, and the entire show depicts mothers, girls grappling with the state of being a mother, and the fact that they are able to become mothers.

A blurb from the Daily City had this to say:
From Jessica Earley at Taste

Jessica Earley (Audience Choice Awards, Blunder Bungle, Interview) has her first solo show *ever* June 11, 2010 7-9pm at Taste (717 W Smith Street). Free admission. Drink specials. She describes the show as this: “There will be boobies, there will be babies, there will be blood (really).”

Not to mention the purple hair, but WTF?

In this crazy hurricane we call Internet Video, I get a jones for finding things that were made in my backyard. I hope these little blogs can bring a bit of that joy to you, and maybe help you make a new friend. It's the least I can do.
