Tinsel & Tine at Tribeca Film Festival – Spotlight, Midnight and Storyscapes sections Annoucement
April 16-27, 2013 (Lower Manhattan) POST UPDATE 3/29/14: Well, now I’m super bummed because I got turned down for press credentials to #TFF2014. I heard they simply aren’t accepting as many bloggers as they have in past years. I was sent an invitation from Tribeca to throw my hat in the ring, as it were, on December 21, 2013. You’d think they could let you know before March 21st., that’s just so late to put things in order, so I was proceeding as if it were a done deal. Plus, that’s what all the self-help, philosophy, Laws of Attraction, “Depak Chopras’s” of the world, always say – the Universe responds…

Okay, we’re going to need a… T&T Synopsis: Like most stories set in the not too distant future, the aftermath of a terrible war precipitated the need to form a new society (and who knows with the whole Putin/Crimea annexed thing, this future may not be too far off).

The Bicycle Chef’s Collingswood Food Swap with Spirit
My friend Denine (aka The Bicycle Chef) started a Food Swap in Collingswood, New Jersey, that’s gaining great momentum. For anyone unfamiliar with a Food Swap it’s for all those foodies out there that are more than just good in the kitchen; in addition, they like to pickle things and make large batches of stuff, it’s for those that like to vacuum seal a glass jar and do some old-fashioned canning. And for those that specialize in sauces and spreads. And most of all, find adorable and handy ways of displaying and presenting such delectables. None of this is me, far too much effort involved. However, Denine invited me to…
