Hello Barbara;
What happened is that my film, "The Moon's Pyramid", played in the
CineFestival at the Guadalupe Center last November, and I won the
"Premio
Mezquite Award for Best Experimental Film". Because my film won this
award,
I was able to fly to San Antonio and receive (metaphorically speaking)
the
award, that consisted of $1000. They told me that the real money was
going
to be sent to me in the form of a cheque on December 15, 2005. Well, I
am
still waiting! the prize I won hasn't been sent to me, the person I
knew
during the festival (Leroy Martinez) is no longer working there, and
nobody
at the Guadalupe Center answers my e-mails enquiring what ever happened
to
my prize. I have sent several e-mails to the president Bret Ruiz, and
to the
controler, Laura Zeballos, and non of them even acknowledge that they
have
received my e-mails, so I have no information into what happened with
my
award.
Anyway, you can call me in the phone any time if you would like to.
(phone number deleted for this vlog)
Sincerely,
Venus Soberanes

Gina Galaviz, 43, KSAT-TV's I-love-the-police reporter, "has been fired" from the television station , according to the San Antonio Express-News, and I'm quoting verbatim here from Jeanne Jakle's byline, "after she was charged with assault following a fight with her boyfriend," Ronald Aguillen, 46.
Ok, so we in San Antonio know about the time in 2004 when Gina filed charges against another boyfriend, the former SWAT cop, who was a councilman at-the-time, Ron Segovia .
There were allegations of an apple being thrown at her nalgas, which humiliated her, and that he also pointed a gun at her. It was not the first time, she told me.
Tough-guy Segovia got off - I think he had three attorneys representing him if I remember correctly, and in this city, like too many, the cops are in bed with the grand jury - they need and depend on each other, and this grand jury decided there "wasn't enough evidence to pursue a criminal case against him."
