Film At Eleven? Tonight?




The PRU Crew has been waiting for the video from last night's City Council COW meeting to be uploaded to Cecil B. deMelidosian's Motionbox folder -- we would like to embed the videos here to go along with our irreverent and unrepentant remarks. But so far, zip -- and we don't know what kind of schedules the vidsters are working from.

The PRU Crew did want to take this opportunity to say how much we think everyone in town owes some BIG THANKS to Charlie Melidosian and George Kirkland for their volunteer work and commitment on this continuing video project. It goes a long way in making these public meetings a lot more accessible to everyone. The PRU Crew firmly believes that neither the conventional press nor our blog, together or separately, should be considered definitive sources of reporting on what takes place at public meetings -- we welcome the greater level of access people will have to be able to more fully form their own opinions.

We're looking forward to the uploads -- we hear City staff member Ms. Laura Dee, from the Environmental Health Dept., employed a "visual aid" for her address to the Council, and a good laugh was had by all!

a big thank you to charlie and george for all their efforts. IT TAKES A VILLAGE, as someone brilliantly said a few years back.

just don't call it the "Village" of Park Ridge. it's the CITY (see the video)

2 of the 4 videos clips are posted now...the rest should be up by Wednesday sometime...generally it takes about 24 hours to upload the videos and have it processed by the video hosting site....and that schedule assumes the vidsters don't let their day job get in the way to get the process started.

nah, the FUNNY part was after Sweeney said that, watching the PANIC of the two AT&T guys, going through their stuff to make sure they didn't call it the "village."
