Message - Jeff. Hi. What a crazy week. I checked the telephone messages
now and could barely make out your number. Please call me before 5:15 pm or
after 7:30 pm tonight to discuss this. I need to know if a CD is acceptable or
if it needs to be a DVD. Call tonight when you can. Thanks. Howie.

Message - Jeff. Hi. I was totally unaware that these items were required
this week. You did not state a date during our telephone conversation and we did
not check the mail until today. We were extremely busy this week covering the
Democratic Party last night in downtown San Diego and other events. In light of
these circumstances, I am going to need a bit more time. I put a lot of effort
into making the eight videos and promoting them and would not want to be
disqualified because of a miscommunication on your part. Please send email back
as soon as you can. Thanks. Howie.

Message - Jeff. Hi. I want to apologize for the misunderstanding. I am
sending a copy of the video. If you are online please send email ASAP and tell
me if this is sufficient pending a copy of the release form. Waiting for your
email. Thanks. Howie.

Message - Jeff. Hi again. I am attaching the video again along with the
release form. It does not look pretty but all the information is there. The hard
copy of the form and a CD copy of the video will be sent out via express mail at
8:30 am when the post office opens. Please send email if you need any other
information. Thank you again. Howie.

Message - Jeff. Hi. I wanted to let you know that the CD copy of the
video and the release form were sent out express mail early this morning. My
wife Akiko was able to get the form in excel to work on our old computer using
XP as it was not working in vista. Because of this the form still has the lines
on it but contains the required information. Anyway, you should receive all the
information early tomorrow. We saw the results of the contest and are very happy
about it. Go Democrats. Thank you again. Howie.

Facebook Message - Aya. Hi. I am finally done with the Democratic Party
of California Summer of Change 08 video contest. My video placed 2nd in this
statewide competition. Thanks to all of those who voted. This is a good time to
talk about the festival video. Probably better at this stage of the game to go
ahead and make more of a generic video. Any Japan society graphics or previous
festival pictures you can send would be useful of course. Going to begin working
on the video tomorrow. We still want you to come for dinner though. Many things
to talk about, festival related and otherwise. You can bring the wine as usual.
Been awhile. Hey, if any of you saw the Broadway show “Cats” please take a few
minutes and write a review. Thanks. Talk to you again. Howie.

Facebook Message - Risa. Hi. I wanted to get back to you sooner but this
week was freaking busy. Yup, I can go walking with you tomorrow. Come to the
house around 10 am and we can go to the park together. Send email if you still
can go. Talk to you again. Howie.

Facebook Message - Risa. Hi. I was waiting for confirmation from you
about meeting tomorrow. I suppose you cannot make it. Maybe another time then.
Talk to you again. Howie.

Facebook Message - Yuki. Hi. I really really really really want to thank
you for posting a comment. Very cool. Yeah, we received free tickets, awesome
seats, and then were invited to the after party and hung out with the
performers. Akiko and I spent two hours looking at many versions of cats online
last night. Check this out. You are gonna cry for sure. (video no longer
available). This is really beautiful. Anyway, thank you again. I made other
surveys. Please post on them when you can. As more people post, the
international students will become more confident to post in English. Thank you
for doing this. Yup, wine sounds good for sure. We wanna see you guys again. Let
us know when you can meet. Thanks again. Howie.

Message - Jeff. Hi. I really want to thank you for everything and
apologize again for any misunderstanding. Nice to know I could contribute
something useful to the Democratic Party and in some small way help in the push
to defeat the proposed Republican budget cuts. Thank you again. Howie.

Facebook Message - Risa. Hi. I am working on it but not sure about the
tickets now. Many places in the park give away discounts or even free but the
zoo is pretty cheap anytime. Gonna keep working on it. Kinda wondering about
your party. Send email when you can. Howie.

Facebook Message - Aya. Hi. Kind of a long story. We might be going
fishing this weekend and maybe we could meet there or for dinner after. I need
to know the exact food menu and need as many images of the food and drink
products as possible. Also need to know which entertainment will be performing.
Please send as soon as you can. Thanks. Howie.

Message - Howard. Congratulations once again on producing one of the best
videos in the Summer of Change video contest. As part of the next step, we at
the California Democratic Party would like to learn more about you. As part of
the Summer of Change campaign, we are compiling a DVD with all the finalists and
honorable mentions. This DVD will be sent to Democratic activists around the
state calling them to action. That's why we'd like to know more about why you
made the video and what you hope to accomplish. This information will be used to
inspire Democrats to fight for what they believe in. This information will not
be used for purposes unrelated to the Summer of Change video contest and will
remain within the California Democratic Party. This information will not affect
any award money you may be recieving. Please fill out the attached questionaire.
I have attached an excel format of the form. Please submit it to me at the
California Democratic Party by Monday, June 16, 2008. Feel free to contact me

Facebook Message - Aya. Hi. I waited to
send you email to see if Akiko was feeling better today. Recently she is kind of
tired. Anyway, it turns out tonight is not good for meeting. Next Friday might
be good for us though. Send email when you can. Howie.
June 17, 2008 -
Facebook Message - Aya. Hi. I want to thank you for your concern. You are
a good friend anytime. The last couple weeks Akiko was not feeling good but
seems to be getting a bit better now. Maybe we can get together for dinner on
Saturday. Need to know which entertainment will be at the festival. Send email
when you can. Howie.
June 27, 2008 -
Facebook Message - Meenakshi. Hi. I was thinking about you the other day
and wondering when you are coming back. We miss you and San Diego misses you.
Went to the food fair with a group of friends. It was pretty good. The
entertainment was nice and we ate at the House of India table of course. Kinda
strange to be at these events and not see you there. Recently Akiko and I made
many new friends from her work and many of them are from India. It seems they
like to drink too. Hmmmm. Anyway, send email when you can. Until then. Howie.
June 29, 2008 -
Facebook Message - Aya. Hi. I really want to apologize but I am not going
to be able to make the video now. I am extremely sick. Running almost 103
temperature at night and almost completely covered with bumps. It might be
chicken pox. Completely stuck in bed now. Gonna get checked tomorrow. Might be
pretty much out of commission the next couple weeks. We needed to cancel our
Independence Day thing and every other meeting planned. This really sucks.
Anyway, hopefully you can understand. Talk to you again. Howie.
June 30, 2008 -
Facebook Message - Aya. Yup, was checked today and pretty messed up with
a bladder infection, a throat infection, and freaking chicken pox at the young
age of 48 if you can believe it. The bumps are pretty much all over me now
especially my head and neck. Akiko is really looking after me but whoa does this
whole thing suck. Unbelievably itchy, fever going up to almost 103 and cannot
find a comfortable position. Not sure if I mentioned that this sucks. This
should put me out of commission for a couple weeks. Anyway, send email with some
happy news or a cup of hemlock. Either will take my mind off being confined to
this leper colony, AKA the condo. Talk to you again. Howie. |
