Easter Egg Hunt: We found a Gary Baseman Egg!

Last year Easter Egg Hunt was all about finding Max Dana’s news drawing, hidden on the home page of the Sama Gazette. But this year it wasn’t about an ‘Easter Sama Hunt’, it ended with something totally new, an ‘Easter Baseman Egg’! Max is a big fan of art toys and she has quite an impressive collection of them. So when she said this year the hunt would be about ‘toys eggs’ we were wondering what this hunt ...


Sunday Roundup: Godard, Pi, Revok, Burgerman

Sunday Roundup is a rendezvous on Max Dana’s Blog. It sounds like our weekly Friday Digest which Max said it inspired her but we have to admit her news roundup is far more detailed than ours! You can also read this post on Max Dana’s Blog. “ Last week I published my first ‘Sunday Roundup’ post, here comes the second one. The selection of news made by the Sama Team for their weekly Friday Digest on the Sama Gazette is ...


Sunday Roundup: Graffiti, Congo, Sudan, J. Stiglitz, J. Silva

Sunday Roundup is not a new rendezvous on the Sama Gazette but it is one on Max Dana’s Blog. Last Sunday she started this new series of posts about what caught her attention during the week. It sounds like our weekly Friday Digest which Max said it inspired her but we have to admit her news roundup is far more detailed than ours. We still have to learn a lot from her, we know that! So we decided to cross post it here. You can also read this post on ...


da-eYe is back on the wall of Serge Gainsbourg’s house

Twenty years ago, on March 2, 1991, Serge Gainsbourg died. He was one of the major French music personalities of the 20th century. If you don’t know his music yet, a box set available on Amazon commemorates the 20th anniversary of Gainsbourg’s death in 1991 and is the first ever exhaustive collection of his work for Universal Music from 1958 onwards. In New York, the Gallery of the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF) presents the US ...


World Water Day 2011: Solving the Global Water Crisis

Today is World Water Day. In our post last year, we mentioned the fact that nearly one billion people around the world didn’t have clean drinking water, and 2.6 billion still lack basic sanitation; today, Sub-Saharan Africa is home to 40% of those without safe water and nearly 40% of the world’s population lives without access to adequate sanitation… But we know many key water and sanitation solutions are cost-effective: every $1 invested ...


Today is Pi Day. Or maybe we should call it ‘Half Tau Day’

Pi Day was in fact yesterday and Max Dana posted about it. We already knew ‘pi‘ (of course we did!) but honestly, we had never heard of ‘Pi Day’… Max’s article about this annual event let us know about this day and the celebrations. We would love to celebrate it next year! What about a Sama Pi ? 🙂 You can comment on Max’s Blog. “ Today is ‘Pi Day’, because it is March 14. You know, 3/14. Here ...


Celebrating International Women’s Day

Today is International Women’s Day and even if we support women’s rights all the year, this specific day is dedicated to women. There are still so many things to do, so many women to help and support… Last year we were with Max Dana and we have met with great women. We hope we will be able to organize an event next year, we are working on it. Meanwhile, we invite you to read the post Max Dana published this morning. You can comment on ...


da-eYe: looking for Banksy at the 2011 Oscars

Anne Hathaway and James Franco were the hosts of this year’s Oscars but unfortunately, their performance was met with mixed critical reception. But honestly, we enjoyed it anyway. This is for what we saw but we also missed a lot of things. Like British street artist Banksy who didn’t show and someone was very disappointed about that: da-eYe. He went to Los Angeles to meet with one of his favorite artist but he wasn’t there… You can ...


da-eYe strikes the Wendy Brandes Pose – Literally

What happens when da-eYe meets Wendy Brandes? The WendyB pose happens. da-eYe struck the Wendy Brandes Pose and we love it! Everything started when we read: WendyB Called. She Wants Her Pose Back. After she wrote about *bitches* stealing her trademark crossed-leg pose, she encouraged all the wimmins to go for the full-on pose in Strike My Pose, There’s Nothing to It! VOGUE! We loved the idea, shared it with Max (we wished for a minute she would be ...
