VC Connect: A Q&A Roundtable for entrepreneurs to meet and talk with VCs. There are lots of conferences, panels and beauty pageants for entrepreneurs, but when do you really have the chance to ask VCs the questions you really need answered? At VC Connect, that's when. Come with your questions to a Q&A Roundtable with a panel of experienced, savvy and open venture capitalists who are eager to answer your questions, and hopeful of meeting the next great entrepreneur. The panel features partners of venture funds that are smaller or newer. These investors may be a better fit for your startup than the standard big-brand Sand Hill Road fund. The session will begin with a brief panel discussion of: "How do investors assess the market opportunity for a new technology?" And then the floor will be open to questions from entrepreneurs on this and all other topics. As an added bonus: The panelists have committed to providing feedback within one week of the event on any questions or executive summaries you send them. Moderator: Bill Reichert, Managing Director, Garage Technology Ventures Emcee: Josh Jaffe, General Manager, TechConfidential.com http://www.thedeal.com/ Panel: Rob Coneybeer, Shasta Ventures David Blumberg, Blumberg Capital Jon Callaghan, True Ventures Jeff Clavier, SoftTech VC Registration: 5:30 - 6:00 PM Q&A Session: 6:00 - 7:30 PM Networking Reception: 7:30 - 8:00 PM $35 VC Taskforce members; $45 Affiliates; $65 General.

DEMONS IN THE DETAILS: TEN POEMS IN BASILICATA WITH JOHN GIORNO by Antonello Faretta North American Premiere John Giorno is a provocative and passionate poet-performer long associated with the New York-based art scene of musicians and artists including William Burroughs, Andy Warhol, Laurie Anderson, Patti Smith and Allen Ginsberg. This new film captures him in his ancestral home in Italy, performing poems that deeply connect to the heart themes of Buddhism: yearning, compassion, despair and inspiration. Q&A with director Antonello Faretta following the screening. (2007, 62 min) -with- INSIDE THE CUP by Isaiah Seret Khyentse Norbu is a renowned Tibetan Buddhist teacher. He also makes movies. His first two films, The Cup and Travellers & Magicians, were critical and box office successes.

COMPASSION IN EXILE by Mickey Lemle Filmed on location in India, Compassion In Exile is Mickey Lemle’s masterful portrait of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama. Includes rare archival footage from Tibet, and interviews with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, his brother and sister and Robert Thurman and Heinrich Harrar (author of Seven Years in Tibet). (1991, 62 min) -with- KING OF THE HILL: "Won’t You Pimai Neighbor" episode Written and produced by John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky The nickname for this episode of the long-running hit animated FOX television series King of the Hill is "He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Buddha," and we learn more about Buddhism in this 22 minute piece than in many a full-length feature work. It’s a skillful and sweetly funny send-up of the Kundun story of the identification of the infant Dalai Lama. Writer/Producer John Altschuler is expected to attend for a Q&A after the screening.
