Our hope is that you all have had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Also that you have a chance to capture this holiday by ways of using your camera, the fall colors and dining experiences, that are just some of the things associated with this time of year.

The year 2008 seems to have been a great year for change. In fact many cultures values this number eight as signifying change.

?    Exercise: Still Life, create a still life that signifies to you all the noted changes that has occurred during this year. It could be from anything that has happened this year, like the stock market ups    and downs, the ups and downs of the oil industry, the Olympics, and the presidential race, these year. This still life will be a way for you to actually build a time capsule.

    Description
    Thanks so much to all of you who has supported the cabaret in the past few months. The cabaret is growing. Every month is even better than the month before. And we have you to thank for that.
   
    And thanks so much to KNOMI, who rocked (or popera?d) the house this month. You guys were awesome! ? You even had the Tangier staff a movin? and a shaken?!
   
    The next Digital Cabaret will take place on Tuesday, December 9th. And the theme will be ?MAKE IT FUNNY.? For the next digital cabaret we?re requesting videos, video art, performances, skits, and performance art that will make us laugh.
   
    There?s been a lot of talk about our awesome prizes. So far, we?ve given away a one-year MOCA membership, a one-month Cinefamily membership, and a one-year LACMA membership. December?s video contest winner will receive a similar surprise, but this time, the winner will be judged on his or her ability to ?make it funny.? Yep. We?re digging up the laugh-o-meter for the December cabaret!
   
    We?re also in the process of putting together an awesome musical performance line-up for this last cabaret, so stay tuned for details.

    As always, if you?re up for making a video on the theme ?MAKE IT FUNNY?, please do so! Or if you know someone who may be up for the task, please spread the word.
