| This is our first of what we hope to be
many giveaway opportunities to bring our [alive not dead] fans in touch
with our artists.
Also,
we've made some important improvements to the contest, so those of you
who have already entered should continue reading below.
We want
to bring a lucky winner to Hawaii with us in October for the Hawaii
International Film Festival. At the festival, you'll get to meet
directors Daniel Wu and Justin Lin and
be ushered into the VIP screenings and after-parties ... all in
beautiful Hawaii! It's the perfect vacation getaway and it's completely
free to enter the contest.
 You could be this lightbulb...  Or you could be spotted on a Hawaiian beach getting a tan like hot Chinese-American actor, Roger Fan
If you haven't already done so, be sure to enter the contest
now. You receive one entry when you enter the contest. Additionally,
you'll improve your chances to win by inviting the rest of your friends
to become an [alive not dead] member. Just invite them using the
various methods provided in the Find/Invite Friends
page. Winners of the Hawaii trip must be prepared with a proper
passport and visa documents -- for those who aren't able to travel, we
will award them with one of our great second place prizes
(personalized, autographed t-shirts, hats, posters, and DVDs) and find
another qualified Hawaii trip winner.
 Newly added to the contest: Personalized, autographed t-shirts, DVDs, posted, and hats
We
hope to be able to offer alot more opportunities like this to our
community coming down the road, so please help us grow our community by
inviting your friends on-board. Post about the contest to your Myspace,
QQ, MSN Spaces, Facebook, Friendster, messageboards, etc... Use the
Invitation URL included at the top of the Find/Invite Friends
page to link back to the site and you'll receive a another entry for
anyone who registers using the URL. It might be YOU sipping a mai tai
with the "Heavenly Kings" and "Finishing the Game" guys in Honolulu.
NOTE: If you used the Find/Invite Friends
page to email invitations to your friends last weekend (Friday, July
27-Sunday, July 29), we encourage you to email invitations to your
friends again. A problem with our service provider's email servers
caused alot of those invitation emails to not be sent. The problem has
been fixed, but we'll need you to invite your friends
again. Also, many of you were unhappily suprised that you were
automatically subscribed to the profiles of the cast/crew of "The
Heavenly Kings" and "Finishing the Game". At the request of several
users, we've changed the entry procedure so that you can specify which
profiles you with to become a fan of.
REPLY WITH YOUR REASON FOR WANTING TO GO TO HAWAII! | | |

personal projects. Full-time positions and summer paid internships are both
available immediately based on the applicant's qualifications and availability.

get the work done.

frequent particiapant in online forums.
- You must also have a deep and abiding love for music

concerts, so this will greatly help you perform your role and feel a part
of the team.
- This position is located in Hong Kong. You must be able to speak
either English or Mandarin Chinese. The ability to speak both is a plus.
The ability speak Cantonese is a BIG plus. The ability to read and type
Chinese is a BIG plus. If you are not currently located in Hong Kong, you must be willing to
relocate.
- We're looking for nice, ethical, smart people. We will
keep the team small for as long as we need to so we need to know that we
can trust our first few team members and enjoy working together for the
long-term.

Hi everyone!
A year and a half ago, I wrote all of my friends letting
them know that I was leaving the helm of Rotten Tomatoes and moving to Asia to
pursue new challenges.
At the beginning of this year, I moved to Hong
Kong to start a new venture, a social networking web site aimed at
providing community tools for artists (filmmakers, musicians, performing
artists) and their fans. After four intense months of development, the site was
launched and now I’m asking all of my friends to take some time to visit the
site:
http://www.alivenotdead.com
If you register on the web site, add me as a friend using my
Gmail email address.
Stephen’s profile:
http://www.alivenotdead.com/?stephen
A community web site relies on the participation and support
of its members, so by registering you’ll be helping us develop a nurturing
environment for emerging artists. You could say that this is a continuation of our
efforts at Rotten Tomatoes to help moviegoers figure out what great stuff to
watch, except, this time, I’m working more directly with the filmmakers and
musicians.
If you’ve already registered on the site and have added me
as a friend, another way to help support [alive not dead] is by letting your
friends know about the site and adding them to your network of friends. The
site is made more enjoyable as more of your friends come on-board and
contribute. Post about the site on your blog, Facebook, Myspace, etc.... Send
your profile link to your friends.
Thanks to all of my friends over the years in helping to
make Design Reactor and Rotten Tomatoes successes. Through your support, we
hope to make [alive not dead] a success as well. | | |
