901...chyup.

Mkay, so for a while I've been pondering the idea of making a La Benjelle Familia tribute montage. It would be like, a picture montage with commentary, and the commentary would be from other Benjellers (of La Familia). I'm guessing that I would order it by age, or randomly, or whatever, but we could each tape ourselves talking about another Familia member. Well, not just one, all of us. Like, I would tape myself talking (Good things! haha) about Moose, and all the cool stuff that happens, and one about Ceecee, and Ray, and Bridgey, etc. Some of the earlier Benjellers might not know the later Benjellers, for instance, Medina might not know that much about Silas, or any of the other Familia members. Mostly just Dominique and I, so she would just have to make commentary for me and Cee. You don't actually have to tape yourself talking about the familia...you can record an audio if you want, or if you want you can just tape yourself. lol. I won't really use the video part that much, it's mostly the audio...because it's a picture montage...chyeah. And so, tell me what you guys think about this. I know most of La Familia is busy, and some of us are still in school at this point, but if you make the video I shall love you even more than I already do. =] squeee!

Okay so just in case you've forgotten (hee, sometimes I do) here are the La Benjelle Familia members. [the more recent ones. not the familia members from like way back when. ha.]

1. Kemi
2. Ora
3. Bridget
4. Rachel
5. Dominique
6. Mary
7. Veronica
8. Taylor
9. Hannah
10. Medina
11. Belzy Bop. (no idea what her real name is. I'm a terrible person =P)
12. Jordan

That's all I can think of right now. I wanted to do Ryan but she's in Spain so...I highly doubt that It'll work out. -complications-

Yeah, I hope this turns out well. :)

Oh, btw. If you really can't get anything close to an audio tape you can leave a comment on my voice recorder and I'll tape it onto my mp3 player. That'll work perfectly too. =]

*rushes off to tape sexyback dance* hahah. <3


-Taylor :P

La Benjelle Familia Montages

Hey Everybody!

Well, first of all, I must point out that this is officially our 900th post on this blog! In the spirit of such, I'd just like to send out a big Moose lick to everyone in La Familia, past or present. We love you all!

In addition, Taylor and I have been discussing what sorts of stuff we want to do to revive our blog over the summer. Fortuitously enough, we each had our own ideas for a montage we wanted to make, and we need your help!

Mine is one that I want to send to Benji and Donyelle to show them how much they've inspired us all. For that reason, I want to try to get video clips of as many of the Familia as I can... DANCING! Whether you're a dancer, or not, I'd love it if you could do something to be represented... Even if it's just the Hokey Pokey! I mean, I'd love to be able to work with some clips of some of you really, truly amazing dancers seriously showing off your craft, but I want to include some sillyness too, so... Just make it whatever you're capable of. Now, I doubt all of you just have videos of yourselves dancing sitting around on your desktop, so I know there would be some work involved, but, PLEASE, if you can, just have someone take a video of you with a digital camera (Or whatever), and put it on your computer to send me. I would be forever greatful! .Mov, .Avi, etc. type files are easily opened on my computer, but I can hopefully find a way to convert whatever form you can get it to me in. Please tell me in a comment if you think you can get me a video, and email me at < b e a t l e m a n i a c 3 5 7 @ y a h o o . c o m > when you have a file to send. Thank you so much! I think this can be really great if you guys can help me out : D.

Also, Taylor had her own idea for a montage, which is also destined for amazingness! She's been wanting to make a picture montage/slideshow of La Familia, with all of our voices talking about the other people in it. I don't know if I'm explaining this well, but I think it will be equally cool if we all help her pull that one off. I don't know exactly how she wants to work this out, so you'll have to talk to her about that, but doesn't it sound cool?

(One Final Plea): PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE SEND ME CLIPS OF YOURSELVES DANCING IF YOU CAN!

Love!
