CNN On the Oshun Festival in Oshogbo 2008 (Òsun Osogbo Òrìsà Òsun)

March 72010

Oshun is the Yoruba water spirit of love, marriage and gold, and one of the Òrìsàs that form the seven African powers. The ancient shrine of the goddess is located at Oshogbo, where she is worshipped once a year during the Oshun Festival.
The goddess is worshipped in Cuba, the West Indies, Brazil and America. According to legend, she has unlimited powers that are especially useful during difficult pregnancies. Oshun is a fun-loving type, but can have a ferocious temper when her anger is aroused.

Traditional offerings are made to the spirit annually to bring peace and harmony, and dance and drama presentations form part of the celebrations.
Event details can change.

Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism Video: 2nd Attempt

January 132010

Posted in tourism | 25 Comments »

So The Cleveland Board of Tourism was not happy with the first video that I turned in. In fact, they said that upon viewing it, three of the board members moved away.

They insisted that I turn in a proper Cleveland tourism video, otherwise they will pursue litigation.

So I was really planning on buckling down and giving it my all this time, but there was a “Rock of Love” marathon on VH1 last night that I didn’t want to miss, so I cranked this video out in even less time than the first one. Roughly 35 minutes total.

Despite this, I’m rather pleased with how it turned out, and I think they will be too.
