Looking for job, summer 2010

Hello,
my name is Adele Bojanovska and I´m looking for a job (server, bartender...). I´m from the Czech Republic and i am 20 years old. With my partner we are going to San Francisco in June 2010, so we are looking for a job, because we have to finance our living in San Francisco for 3 months. Can you help us in a way to find a job? I can send you our CV and all that you need.
Thanks for your reply.
Kind regards
Adele Bojanovska

Dobrý den,
jmenuji se Adele Bojanovská, s přítelem hodláme v červnu 2010 na 3 měsíce vyjet do San Francisca a potřebujeme nějaké zaměstnání, abychom v SF mohli normálně přežít. Všimla jsem si při hledání na internetu vašich www stránek a nabadlo by mě, jestli byste nám náhodou nějak nemohla s najitím práce pomoc. Osobně mluvím ještě německy (jsem rodilá rakušanka) a tím pádem jsem poslala pár dotazů i do rakouských a německých restaurací v SF. Myslíte si, že by se mohla najít io nějaká práce třeba v českých restauracích?
Moc děkuji za odpověď.
S pozdravem
Adele Bojanovská

"Beauty in Trouble" available on DVD October 6, 2009

"The title of director Jan Hřebejk's masterful Czech drama, set soon after the Prague floods of 2002, is taken from a poem by Robert Graves, but Beauty in Trouble applies just as well to Marcela (played by a wonderful Geislerová) She's a resilient mother married to a gruff guy (Roman Luknár) who runs a chop shop. (The sex is hot, the apartment spare.) Then, long story short, he's clapped in jail. And she gets involved with a wealthy vintner (Abrhám) who takes her and her kids to Tuscany. This is a film of uncommon subtlety, fluidity, and specificity of character — so here's to the good subtitling, too. Grade A- "

Memories of Slovakia

Embassy of the Slovak Republic in Washington, DC and the Friends of Slovakia are planning a special art exhibition at the Slovak Embassy in November to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Velvet Revolution and to recognize Slovak artists whose paintings are now in the United States. We hope you will participate.

The exhibition, Memories of Slovakia: Slovak Paintings in American Collections, will showcase works by established Slovak artists now owned privately by Slovak Americans and others with ties to Slovakia. The exhibition will run from November 7, 2009 to mid January 2010.

We invite you to participate in this event by lending up to three (3) works from your personal collection. The paintings – oil, watercolor, or mixed media – should be no larger than 1 m x 1 m (40” x 40”). Although the Embassy does not carry insurance coverage for its exhibits, security is excellent. You may, however, wish to check that your insurance covers your paintings while on loan as is the case with many homeowners’ policies. The Embassy will store, hang, and display the paintings. Participants are asked to deliver their selected works to the Slovak Embassy prior to October 15th.

Please submit one form for each painting, along with a color photograph, to Michal Pavuk at the Slovak Embassy (see address on the attached form). The deadline for receipt of submissions is August 28, 2009. A committee of Friends of Slovakia art experts will review all proposals to ensure both high quality and broad representation of Slovak artists. We also ask that all participants prepare a brief statement of the painting’s provenance, how it was acquired and what it means to the collector.

We hope all the exhibitors will join us here in Washington for the exhibit’s festive opening on November 7th. We will recognize your participation in the program and in person. And, we encourage you to talk with the guests about your entries.

Thank you very much for your support. We look forward to working with you on this important event commemorating the Velvet Revolution and the close ties of friendship and culture between the United States and Slovakia,

Sincerely,

Peter Burian
Ambassador of the Slovak Republic to the U.S.A.

Czech classes in SF

My name is Wiley, I'm a local glass artist and am currently applying for graduate study at an art school in Prague. Though the school does not require it, I would like to try to learn a little Czech before I go. Even if I don't get into the school I would still like to learn the language as so many of the worlds great glass casters are Czech. I looked into a language course at CCSF but they didn't offer one, and when I looked up Czech classes in SF your site was one that popped up. I was wondering if you knew of anywhere that taught beginner Czech. Any assistance you could provide would be most appreciated.
Sincerely,
Wiley Jackson
