As country western stars, we are truly living in a global village now. You need to watch this documentary. It is so new world focused. Kids are kids and music is music.Alex Ovechkin is one of the most powerful people in Washington DC and beloved by our community.
Who is to say that the next big country western stars won’t be from Russia? Only on SnagFilms, here is a good one and an offbeat look at the world.
Rick Allen, CEO of SnagFilms, wrote a nice story today about Veteran’s Day and Fort Hood. Check it out here and snag that Veteran’s Day film widget loaded with many military thematic movies on SnagFilms.com too while you are at it.
Here is a good one from the man in red, Capital Spirit. Thank you. Enjoy it.
So here is a very accurate article on the Capitals ticket pricing policy and where we rank. Please read this one.
I am proud to offer our fans a great product at a fair price.
We are sold out.
We spend to the salary cap max.
We offer the best in game entertainment.We try to do every thing on a first class basis.
We are the most transparent and interactive franchise on the planet.
I so want folks to feel comfortable and happy being a Caps fan and customer.
I hope you will agree we are doing our best to have a true partnership with our fans.
The Caps are ranked 21st in the NHL in average ticket prices.
I only link to this article to show our fans that we are doing our best to be fair and reasonable and also to rebut some of the accusations from some fans that we charge too much for our tickets.
I hope you will believe that as the article says the Caps are a bargain at today’s prices. We are growing. We have happy customers. We are getting results in the standings.
As I noted 5 years ago, “Buy now. We are a growth stock. We will be the Google of NHL teams.” 
Go Caps!
Thank you Mitch Kapor.
Huh?
Yep, let us not rewrite history because I was there as an eyewitness.
Mitch Kapor to me is the person who pioneered the open-source movement and Firefox. He is a longtime friend (since 1981) when I first worked with him at Lotus 123.
Mitch was very convincing to me when we met up at the first D Conference sponsored by The Wall Street Journal in San Diego. He insisted that we at AOL had to liberate the code at Netscape. “Free, free – set it free, Ted!” he implored me. “Help us to do the right thing and see the big picture.” He was and is an evangelist!
Gulp.
This article in Time.com is quite sobering although I saw this coming and it is why we started SnagFilms. These films need a new distribution model and the filmmakers and investors need a way to generate revenues other than ticket sales.
Independent films are a species deserving of being kept alive and thriving. Support your indie filmmaker today. Read this article and let us figure out what we can do to help.
Where is the Berlin Wall now?
I have a framed small remnant of the Wall in my home office, a great reminder of what democracy means to us all.
Here is a film about the Berlin Wall from PBS on SnagFilms.com. Watch this hour long film and share it with your children. The Cold War wasn’t that long ago. A wall of this nature could be constructed again somewhere. As our President said, “Tear down your wall!” and they did. A wonderful memory. Amazing that it happened only 20 years ago. Watch and learn.
Wow. According to official NHL reports, the Washington Capitals are ranked 6th in the NHL in terms of paid admissions for the season to date. Only one US-based team is ahead of us. The top four are all Canadian teams. We are up almost 6 percent year over year.
We have arrived. I think we have a chance to be the top paid admissions team in the NHL for US-based clubs. Thank you Caps fans. You rock! Your support is most appreciated. Go Caps!
VPP – Venture Philanthropy Partners – is a terrific organization chartered with venture capitalizing local charities as if they were start-up businesses.
Two of my partners in our sports teams, Raul Fernandez and Jack Davies, have been the driving forces behind it along with Senator Mark Warner and the “Godfather” Mario Marino.
I am an investor in VPP and a cheerleader but Raul and Jack should get the acclaim. It is their baby. This is a very important effort being led many local business and philanthropy leaders. Check them out.
Thanks Caps fans — last night — you were all amazing. You were so loud — it felt like a playoff game. That was a fun game — a meaningful game for us — we are now tied for first place in the East; we have the third best record in the NHL; we have scored the most goals in the NHL. We lead our division by 7 points.
We are hurting and aching; having lost amongst others — two first team NHL All stars — yet we are scoring in bunches — and when we lose a game it is in OT or by one goal. No blow outs so far. We have a couple of days to rest up now and try to get healthy before our next game on Wednesday. Continue reading
