+ LACE CAMPAIGN VANCOUVER LAUNCH EVENTS - April 23
+ CO-OP RADIO - FUNDRAISING DRIVE AND PARTY. April 15- April 23
We're very excited here at Hello Cool World headquarters. Once again we are a community supporter of the Projecting Change Festival which starts on Earth Day, Thursday April 22. (Mention HelloCoolWorld to get a ticket discount!) And after a year of preparation, our newest campaign is launching. The LACE Campaign short video and PSA will be on the big screen of the Friday night film 7pm screening of "Chemerical" at Projecting Change (5th Avenue Cinema in Vancouver). Then we join Co-op Radio to celebrate three and half decades of community media in the W2 Storyeum space, 151 W. Cordova, where we will get our LACE on and party with our own DJ Atef & Lady Ra. This party is a combined celebration of the LACE launch and Co-op Radio's 35th Anniversary and comes at the end of their annual fundraising drive.
ADMISSION TO PARTY IS FREE

Last night some of us at Hello Cool World held our very first "Theory-into-practice Salon" more about that later...TODAY our LACE Campaign press release goes out to media, promoting our launch next Friday April 23, at 7 pm of the "It's What's Inside" PSA, and short film about the Action Team. It's premiering in front of the film "Chemerical" at the Projecting Change Film festival. Plus our ad goes into Elle magazine, and Lizzy continues to look for doughnut sponsors for our party. We met with our friends at Coop radio and W2 yesterday, to plan a party to celebrate our launch, W2's new space, and Coop Radio's 35th Anniversary & fundraising drive... So if you are in Vancouver on April 23 you want to MARK THE DATE....And if you can help us let us know! Email: outreach{at}lacecampaign.com
Meanwhile elsewhere on the world wide web...
TODAY, on the film & corporate personhood front -- I'll be on David Mathison's Blog/Talk/Radio show for Be The Media. (Buy the book, by the way, it's great). Along with indie film go-to guru Peter Broderick, and Corporation author -co-creator Joel Bakan we'l be talking about indie distribution and grassroots promotion on the web. And corporate personhood...

The street nurses of Bevel Up are calling on the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games to dedicate former Olympic cars to fight AIDS. So many agencies in the Downtown Eastside could use outreach vans for their work. Whether delivering a meal to a man with AIDS in a SRO in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, or providing a means to get an HIV positive woman to a doctor’s appointment or for an agency to provide services for sex workers – no Buick need be wasted!
Sign the petition at: www.PetitionOnline.com/legacy10
Help us spread the word and get as many signatures as we can! Share it on Facebook & Retweet to your followers (@BevelUp). Let's create an Olympics legacy Vancouver can be proud of.

Water has been an issue dear to my heart since we started the company 9 years ago. My mother always said, if you want to do one thing to decrease suffering in the world, make sure you give everyone, everywhere access to free, clean water.
Sadly, we've gone in the other direction.
We've polluted the last largest fresh water body on earth (The Great Lakes) and we are heading towards what many believe are the world water wars. And did you know that Nestle controls most of the world's bottled water?

Well, as the whole world knows, there was a very big party last week in Vancouver, our humble headquarters are in the midst of it all. There's a history of problems with drink spiking and drug and alcohol faciliated sexual assault when big events like this happen. SafeVibe is a movement for everyone who wants to keep predators out of the bars and put an end to sexual assault. The more people who actively get involved (men, women, youth, everyone!), the closer we will be to making social change a reality.
