Love is in the Air
A post about love in business.
I recirculate this via my blog while up at thirty thousand feet on a plane with wireless connectivity, too cool.
SnagFilms Acquires another Sundance Film Festival Winner
SnagFilms already has more than 20 films in its library that have won or been nominated for an award at the Sundance Film Festival. As this year’s Sundance Film Festival comes to a close, SnagFilms announced the acquisition of another Sundance award winner (in 2011) — “Kinyarwanda.” This incredible film is based on true accounts of the Rwandan genocide. A powerful story, well told. Roger Ebert gave it four stars and listed it as #6 in his top 20 films of 2011. It was also recently nominated for three NAACP Image Awards. Look for it on cable video on demand and online pay-on-demand platforms in the coming months from SnagFilms. Read more here.

Lots of it for the Washington Capitals as we move into the meat of the schedule. See it all here. Link after link after link.
Two more games without three of our best players; two back to back against division rivals. Starting tonight.
“Never explain, never complain.”
A very tough road trip. Wish us well; wish us speedy recovery of our injured players. Thank you; Go Caps!

Wizards – China – Happy New Year
A very nice tribute video on the Wizards and their trips to China and our role in celebrating Chinese New Year. Well done – watch this one if you are interested in cultural events and how sports is a universal language. Thanks.
About last night
I thought our team played well; as a very young team; we haven’t yet earned the respect of the league’s officials.
We scored more field goals that the Bulls – but the reigning MVP took more foul shots than our entire team did last night. The Bulls made 24 of 31 foul shots and we made 11 of 13; there is the ball game right there as we lost by 10 points.
The Wizards have played one of the top 10 toughest schedules so far this season; we are being tested in many ways and I was happy to see our players rally and play desperate defense during the 4th quarter as we outscored Chicago by 7 points. We made less turn overs than the Bulls; but they had 22 assists; we only had 8. They have played together as a team for many years now.
In regards to the big crowd last night – as I noted earlier in the year – we will average about 15,000 attendance per game with our fans; we have 8000 season ticket holders.
When we play a big time team as Chicago is – some of our fans will resell their tickets at a profit – and the other team’s fans will buy some tickets at the gate as well via single ticket sales.
So – I estimate that we sold perhaps 4000 tickets to local people who grew up in Chicago – and that some of our fans sold their season tix to generate a profit. Our crowd was a big one – more than 18,500 last night.
It was a good game – a good atmosphere – very competitive. Onward. Thank you.
Andray Blatche has been playing hurt
With a banged up shoulder; and a beat up calf.
I respect very much tough players – players that are good team mates and play when they ache.
He will miss now some time now as he recovers from this tough injury.
I empathize with players – some players will only play when they are 100 percent healthy; some will play when banged up. Sometimes when a player plays at a substandard level because of basic health issues; it is tough on their stats and on their reputations. Some players – because of this – will NOT play; so I am appreciative of Andray playing while hurt. Thank you.
I wish Andray Blatche a speedy recovery.
The other night – he battled through the injury bug and scored 17 points and had 10 rebounds; we need that kind of production in our lineup.
A huge compliment – “The Netflix of indy film”
