Meeting at Omega’s – BYOB October 7th 2008

in this issue Call And Response DVD release party Meeting Locations Events in Deep Ellum Greetings! The media was in Deep Ellum and no one assaulted? It is true! A crowd assembled out front of the Door last Tuesday to celebrate the Talents of Frank Campagna and Sergio Garcia. Check out the video of the mural going up of Mark Wahlberg in the new big feature of Max Payne. Frank and Sergio were all over the news shaking the hand of Mark Wahlberg with a plethora of scenes of Deep Ellum. Thanks for the good work guys. And the good news from the media did not end there. The Dallas Morning News did an article on Deep Ellum and DEEP. They were trying to remind people that Deep Ellum is not Dead, like we needed to hear that again. Hopefully if enough of Dallas keeps saying that maybe the rest of Dallas will find its way back down. The good news keeps rolling on in the hood. There are plenty of updates about the Deep Ellum Association (DEA) and the Deep Ellum Foundation (DEF). Sean Fitzgerald is the new interim President of the DEA (Gianna Medrini has termed out) Tanner Hockensmith is the new Vice President. The DEA and DEEP have been working together to present a proposed budget to the DEF to further some great events and get some new one’s rolling out for 2009. It is great to be in a situation where all of Deep Ellum can start to look forward to new year full of promise and high expectations. The DEF is close to finishing a great new website for DE. We will keep you informed. But that is not all that has changed there. DEF has some new faces as well. John Hetzel is now Vice President, Mark Roberts is the official representative from the DEA and on the board, and a representative from the Ambrose is on as well. John Tatum has resigned. Special thanks to both Gianna and John for all your hard work. Now more than ever we need to be secure in our resolve to come together and make this the funkiest and loudest place in all of D/FW. I like it…. Keep Deep Ellum Loud. If you missed him last week DO NOT do it again. Our friend Cottonmouth, TX (Jeff Liles) will be spinning at “The Lounge” every Thursday night. Make sure to make an appearance and check out the wide variety of excellent tunes. I know Cottonmouth will not disappoint. Marc Traynor Call And Response All our hard work, has led to this weekend. Here is a word form Justin Dillon Director/Producer Tens of millions heard about the film when Justin was on Dr. Phil, MSNBC’s Morning Joe and CNN . . . and we are just getting started.
