Campus Progress invites you to attend the Washington D.C. premiere of the Media That Matters Film Festival! The Media That Matters Film Festival will be hosted on July 23, 2008 from 7:00 pm –9:00 pm at E Street Cinema. The festival is the premier showcase for short films on the most important topics of the day. Local and global, online and in communities around the world, Media That Matters engages diverse audiences and inspires them to take action.
From gay rights to global warming, the jury-selected collection represents the work of a diverse group of independent filmmakers, many of whom are under 21. The films are equally diverse in style and content, with documentaries, music videos, animations, experimental work and everything else in between. What all the films have in common is that they spark debate and action in 12 minutes or less. Click here to learn more about the Media That Matters Film Festival. Free popcorn and soda will be provided.
Everyone is invited to attend Out and About: Networking with the GLBTQ Community. The event will be held July 21, 2008 from 6:00 pm-8:00 pm at the Equality Forum at the HRC Foundation Building. This event is a joint effort between Campus Progress and the Human Rights Campaign to bring together young gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer professionals and allies to discuss the role of GLBTQ voices in the progressive movement. Rob Anderson, editor of CampusProgress.org and Pushback.org, and other prominent GLBTQ activists will be speaking at the event. Did we mention that FREE DINNER and DRINKS will be served? I repeat free food and alcohol will be provided. However, we want to emphasize that this is a huge networking opportunity for members in the GLBTQ and for those interested in working with the GLBTQ community. So come out! Wine and dine and meet cool people in the process. For more information, please contact speakers@campusprogress.org. Click Here to RSVP.

Yesterday, I was asked to embark on a quest to find free food for an entire day. I woke up yesterday morning with full intentions of stuffing myself. After getting a late start yesterday, I began to search for hotels around my area for a free continental breakfast. I walked for approximately 20 minutes to find a hotel that served breakfast for their guests. When I finally found one, I quickly went inside, swiped a couple of muffins, and politely exited the building. I guess I should have been excited to have completed the first mission of the day. Unfortunately, I was not amused; I was so mad that I had to walk back to the metro station to go back to work that I told myself, “Artair, it takes too much energy to find free food so you won’t be able to participate today.” I am sorry that I can’t entertain anyone because I bought my lunch and dinner. Trust me, I enjoyed every minute of it, and I was very entertained. Thus, if you are going on a scavenger hunt for free food, please take the time to research, research, and RESEARCH. As for me, unlike Pooh Bear, I did not go to bed with a rumbling in my tummy.
