Maine Studios Grand Opening
Click here to watch this video in high quality on Facebook
Had a lot of fun this morning at the Maine Studios Grand Opening, it’s a facility that can be used by Maine filmmakers, media artists and creative artists. There are offices for rent and a huge central area for films, shoots and productions. I shot (slightly shaky) footage of the ceremony, it was great to see so many creative artists in the area come out and support this new endeavor.
Info:
The Maine Studios opens its doors to provide a collaborative environment for film, theater, music and art projects. Wasted Minds Media Group, Inc. (Laurie Notch and John Seymore) is among the first companies to occupy the facility which plans to be one of the first environmentally friendly Film Studios on the East Coast. The launch was attended by Maine creative media artists, the press, Governor John Baldacci and Mayor Jill Duson.

Congrats to Laurie, John and their team for pulling together a very successful event!
Facebook Maine Summer Party – Friday August 28th
I just sent out invites this morning and wanted to include you as well. If you live near Portland, Maine I’d like to invite you to an event I am hosting called “Facebook Maine Summer Party”. Myself along with Karla Gilbert and Rebecca Daigle do these almost every month and it’s a great way to connect, socialize and meet new friends. I started Facebook Maine really as a way to bring people together, not a networking event (although plenty of that happens) but a more casual atmosphere that is geared toward making connections, not unlike Facebook itself. The Facebook Maine group has almost 4000 members and has gotten some great press and TV coverage, so if you are in the area please stop down and say hi. We’ll have a delicious free appetizer buffet and refreshing drink specials. And we’ll have a lot of fun! Did I mention that? 
Check out some pics from our past Facebook Maine parties.
