How was the party? Not that we were invited.
Why, being bitten of course!
The party was a blast and actually worked out realy well, probably 50 people overall walked through the doors at one time or another and the party ran from noon until near midnight. Fajitas, salsa, hornitos, daquiris, and so on and son on. People came and went through the entire span so it never really got too crowed or overwhelming.
Either that or after the first few pitchers I quit noticing...
If I knew anyone was nearby the invitation would have definitely been extended, a couple of fellow qbidians were there as well as other family and friends.
Happy hour is at my place in two weeks (9/16) so consider this the unofficial official invite for those in the greater Phoenix (east valley area to be more specific) vicinity or that just like to drive insanely long distances for rum!
And after that little jibe you better start driving missy! <eg>

Dave
-------------------------------------------------- Hi CHIMAN34,
We are all eagerly waiting for that one, and it surely would be exciting (and profitable) to get it at this point in time.
Last year, Frank stated that he wanted a slow, steady rise in the pps.
IMO there could be more carriage and programing announcements before the actual audit announcement.
For instance:
new programing is still be adding--today,
the Canadian network (is it out of court, yet?),
negotiations with satelite companies and carriers that cannot be revealed until the last signature is in place (personally, I think Frank may be holding out for better terms ),
additional carriers may jump in wanting to air the games before next July.
IMO, if we get a PR tomorrow, it will be about New Orleans or something about our anniversary, or maybe something about carriers (they are starting new fall programing this month).
Frank was very specific in stating projections for 2006 and forward--he gave us a roadmap.
He has had successes and made mistakes, but now he is so very close to fulfilling his dream.
He is making QTN a hot comodity.
I'm willing to let him do the work and wait for my profits.
Predictions are nothing more than fantasys unless backed up but at least some resemblance of research and / or knowledge.

WTF is this "believing in" crap? It's 14 billion, read the fscking PR.
1) Triangle Multimedia Limited, Inc. Announces Plans To Create Limited Stock Buy Back Program Triangle Multimedia Limited Inc. uncertified share info is 15B shares authorized with 7 1/2 B shares outstanding. Date: Feburary 10th, 2004 Source: http://tinyurl.com/dcg36
2) Q Television Reduces its Tradable Stock by Fifty-Three Percent We converted QBID shares into preferred stock, eliminating fifty-three percent of the tradable outstanding shares. Date: August 2nd, 2005 Source: http://tinyurl.com/72vqo
3) Q Television -- Valued at Ten Times its Current Market Capitalization -- Issues Financials Triangle Multi Media (TMM), ticker: QBID (Q Television being a subsidiary of Triangle Multi-Media) shares outstanding total fourteen billion and five and one-half billion shares restricted. Date: August 29th, 2005 Source: http://tinyurl.com/ap7pn
The Math: Feb. 2004 - 7.5 billion shares O/S with Frank owning 53% (3.975 billion). No known restricted stock. FLOAT = 3.525 billion.
Aug. 2005 - 19.5 billion shares O/S, none of the float is owned by Frank. A dilution of about 15.5 billion. FLOAT = 14 billion.
5.5 billion is restricted for 3 to 5 years, so dilution into the float = 10.5 billion
If you are an employee of Triangle Multi-Media and you would like to correct me on these numbers, please contact me at g-invest-AT-gravito-DOT-com. Otherwise, if you believe I am correct, no action is necessary.
I have repeated this for 1 week now with no correction from Triangle Multi-Media, nor lawsuit brought against me.

your numbers are assuming that the audit was done up to to point that Frank converted his shares. you are incorrect in your calculations, the audit was not done, those numbers are at the best up to the end of the first quarter.

they have an income. they are paying it down as they go.
2 million is a very small debt load. they have 330 grand a month coming in from the studio alone. that doesn't take into consideration any advertising dollars, subscription income, income from sales of DVDs, royalties for any rebroadcasts from Canadian pride channel. and so on and so on.

sorry everyone/moderator but rod's private mailbox is filled...so if you don't mind...
************************** hey rod,
went to your website, wow!...great looking family. hey my wife and i just went to Niagara back in July for our honeymoon. LOVEDIT!!! i love canada period.
on our last day we had planned to get away from the tourist district area and drive north of Toronto and find a nice restuarant to eat and mingle with the more traditional Canadians but unfortunatly we ran out of time and never got the chance. i'm sure it would have been a pleasurable experience. i hear all the time how nice and respectable Canadians are.
But anyways the falls were amazing to say the least. we took plenty photos. it was a blast. i'd like to go back someday...as a matter of fact, if we hit it big with Q my wife Annette and i will come up and take you and Michele out to dinner and we'll celebrate Canadian style!, how's that sound?
man i sure hope frank has been straight up with everything...it all sounds almost to good to be true...i really hope this is "THE ONE"...i just figure surely he would'nt risk doing something illegal this far into the game .
anyhow my bottom line is this...when the audit comes out and everything is in line to move forward, well then at that point i would finally be able to sit back, relax and watch the growth until i am ready to cash in. i do plan to hold most of mine long.
mike

2005 PALM SPRINGS INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF SHORT FILMS ANNOUNCES LINE-UP
Festival to Feature Films Starring Selma Blair, Sandra Oh, Oliver Hudson, Eric Stoltz, Stephen Rea, Brenda Fricker, Kevin Pollak, Christopher Lloyd, Steve Buscemi, Joe Mantegna, Emily Deschanel, Rosario Dawson, and Many Others
Palm Springs, CA (August 31, 2005) – The shorts are back in town at the 2005 Palm Springs International Festival of Short Films (ShortFest), held from September 20-26, 2005 at the Camelot Theatres in Palm Springs, CA. Now in its 11th year, the Festival has announced its roster of 324 films, selected from more than a record-setting more,400 worldwide entries, up ten percent from last year. The Festival will showcase 86 World Premieres, 27 North American Premieres and 15 U.S. Premieres. The selection of films for screening and competition features star-studded casts as well as award-winning films from around the world. All selections have been structured into themed programs covering a wide array of issues for specific and general audiences to enjoy (see attached or visit Complete Movie List for a complete list of this year’s film programs).
Darryl Macdonald, the Festival’s executive director commented, “The overall quality of the short film submissions this year was remarkable, and definitely kicked the bar up a notch in terms of the selection process. This broad-based emergence of new voices and new visions in the short film field heralds a new generation of filmmaking talent that bodes well for the film industry in years to come. I don’t think it is an exaggeration to say that short films may become the new hot format – just as documentaries have emerged as a hot commodity in recent years.”
“With this year’s selection of films, Palm Springs will continue to be the premiere American venue showcasing short films,” added Kathleen McInnis, ShortFest programming director. “With the 324 films selected for public screening, we barely scratched the surface of the extraordinary talent seen in films that were submitted to us from all over the world. Luckily all the film submissions will be included in the marketplace so the industry can see and experience these remarkable films.”
The selected short films have been organized into more than 45 themed programs covering a variety of topics including gay and lesbian lifestyles, crime and punishment, families, current events, love, marriage, music, table manners, water, cars, siblings, Iraq, World War II, motherhood, the future and a collection of award-winning shorts from the internationally acclaimed Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival. The Festival received stunning work from Australia and New Zealand and will present a selection of these films in a special spotlight program.
This year’s opening night screening will be highlighted by award-winning live-action and animated films from Cannes Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival, AFI Fest, BAFTA, Berlin Film Festival, New York International Children’s Film Festival, Seattle International Film Festival and many others followed by an opening night reception at Las Casuelas Terraza restaurant. The films include The Act, The Banker, The Chase, Dying of Love, Jellybaby, Joyride, Milk, The Natural Route, The Raftman’s Razor, The Ten Steps and Through My Thick Glasses.
Festival attendees will be able to see a roster of films featuring familiar faces from film including Academy Award winner Brenda Fricker in Razor Fish and Berlin Golden Bear winner Milk, Academy Award nominee Stephen Rea in Fluent Dysphasia, Jake Gyllenhaal narrating The Man Who Walked Between the Towers, Rosario Dawson narrating God Sleeps in Rwanda, Selma Blair in The Big Empty, Sandra Oh in Kind of a Blur, Christopher Lloyd, Peter Facinelli and Leslie Zemeckis in Enfants Terrible, Oliver Hudson in Mr. Dramatic, Eric Stoltz in Hello, Kevin Pollak in Our Time is Up, Steve Buscemi in a cameo role in Who’s the Top?, Joe Mantegna and Jennie Garth in Til Death, Emily Deschanel in That Night and Mute, Alison Eastwood in Flatbush, Lukas Haas in The Youth in Us, Dylan Baker in Live at Five, Dana Delany and Ann Ramsey in Getting to Know You, Stellan Skarsgard in Torte Bluma and Melissa Leo in No Shoulder. Also in the Festival are shorts directed by Tiffani Thiessen (Just Pray), Stephen Collins (Next of Kin) and Melissa Joan Hart (Mute).
A jury of five industry professionals will screen this year’s short films selected for competition in nine categories for a total of $14,000 in prizes including Best Animation, Best Documentary, Best Live Action, Best of Festival and the Future Filmmaker Award. The Festival has also announced a new special prize called the Alexis Award, named in honor of Alexis Echavarria. Echavarria was age 16 when he made his film 18 Minutes, which will screen in this year’s Festival. He died suddenly upon returning from volunteer work in Thailand a few weeks ago, just as the Festival had accepted his film. The Alexis Award will recognize emerging student filmmakers who show great potential in honor of Echavarria’s promise that was untimely extinguished. The recipient will receive a Final Cut Pro package, courtesy of Apple Computer. Also new to the Festival this year, is the Panavision Grand Jury Award, which will present a digital or film camera package valued at $30,000. An additional $6,000 in Kodak film stock will be presented to the film winners in the student award categories.
Jury members include John Anderson, film critic, Amy Lillard Dee, IMDb business editor and Fly Filmmaking Challenge producer at the Seattle International Film Festival, Roger Gonin, organizer of Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival, and Teri Schwartz, award-winning Hollywood producer and Loyola Marymount University School of Film/TV Dean. First place winners will automatically become eligible for consideration by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for a possible Academy Award nomination. Last year’s ShortFest featured the premiere of Andrea Arnold’s Wasp, which received the 2004 Best of the Festival Award and an Academy Award in the Best Live Action Short Film category. The Best Animated Short Film Academy Award winner, Ryan, also screened at the Festival and received first place in the Best Animation category. In total, the Festival presented six of last year’s short film Academy Award nominees. Over the past ten years, the Festival has presented 46 films that have gone on to receive Academy Award nominations.
Designated by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as an award-qualifying Festival and accredited by the International Short Film Conference, the Palm Springs International Festival of Short Films and Short Film Market is the largest and most prominent short film showcase in North America. The Festival and its concurrent 2,400-film Film Market has captured Hollywood’s attention as a scouting ground for new filmmaking talent and is well attended by those in the business of buying and selling short films.
Several seminars and panels comprised of industry representatives will be assembled to discuss trends and provide advice on short filmmaking. “The Successful Short Filmmaker’s Game Plan” is a seminar that will discuss the steps to guarantee success in filmmaking. “Is Your Short Television-Friendly?” is a workshop where sales agents and television acquisition executives will explain what filmmakers need to do to make their shorts ready for television. “Selling Yourself to Hollywood” will shed light on what writers, directors and producers need to know about getting a foot in the door. “Next Step: Feature Film” is a panel discussion on the variety of options available to make a feature length film. “New Opportunities for Short Filmmakers” is a panel detailing new possibilities in funding, exhibition and distribution. “Saving Money on Your Film: Pre Through Post Production Workflow Guidelines,” presented by Kodak, will explore some of the key issues filmmakers face in the production process. “Festival Circuit Secrets Revealed” will offer tips from those most experienced in the festival world. “What Every Short Filmmaker Should Know” is a panel to answer filmmakers’ questions.
For those who prefer a more personal environment, the Festival organizers have created the “One-on-One Program,” an opportunity for participants to meet individually with publicists, agents, distributors, exhibitors and festival programmers to answer any questions filmmakers may have.
The Festival offers four special ticket plans. The Insider’s Pass for $200 includes complete access to all screenings and events. A 6-Ticket Coupon Book for $45 offers six movies for the price of five. Tickets to the Opening Night Program and Party or the Awards Night Program and Reception are $25 each. Single tickets for the Festival will go on sale September 12, 2005 at the Camelot Theatres for $9 per screening before 5:00 p.m., and $10 for screenings after 5:00 p.m. Advance tickets and passes can be purchased online at Tickets or by calling (760) 322-2930.
