Sudan365: A Beat For Peace / Paris Event

  Many events will take place on January 9th to support Sudan365: A Beat For Peace. If you don’t know what this special day is about, here is more information coming from the Save Darfur Website:   A global day of action on Sudan will take place on January 9th, 2010, marking the fifth anniversary of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement between North and South Sudan and one year out from the referendum that will determine whether the Southern ...


International Human Rights Day 2009

2009 marks the 61st anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It’s an important event and last year, we had the chance to live the events related to the 60th anniversary; in December 08, Max Dana launched the “60 Signers for the 60th Anniversary” Initiative to support the Every Human Has Rights Campaign (The Elders) on the occasion of the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Neither of us ever heard of ...


Gothic-style skull clutch by Alexander McQueen

English fashion designer Alexander McQueen is very creative. When we saw the photo of the skull clutch, we (2 of us actually) immediatly thought: ‘This clutch is great, it could make a great gift to someone we know very well’. We suppose you guess about whom we are talking about. Max Dana has been working at her atelier lately and we didn’t have the occasion to show her the skull clutch yet, so we thought it could be a good idea ...


Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, best game ever!

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is out and it’s the best game ever! The single-player experience, the multiplayer modes and features, online competition, full co-op Spec Ops mode. Not to mention the impressive graphical engine… Everything’s there and kicking, and Inifinty Ward‘s game is definitely the best first-person shooters.   Sorry to takeover the (not so) serious articles usually posted on the Sama Gazette but I have ...


Barack Obama: disappointment and hope

  We enjoy discussing about all kind of topics within the Sama Team, even the more controversial ones. And surprisingly, it appears everything connected to Barack Obama is controversial. A year after Barack Obama was elected US President, many people say the US President’s performance has dismayed even his biggest admirers, at a time when the country is facing the worst recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s…   The ...


Max Dana’s 2009 Show: it’s happening now!

This week, all the members of the Sama Team (even the lazy ones, but again, we won’t give away any names!) have been working hard with Max Dana to set up her new and upcoming show. She has been working on it for quite a long time and everything is now ready. It explains why the Sama Gazette wasn’t updated as often as usual lately; this is a very good reason, isn’t it? So Max Dana’s 2009 Show will be online in a couple of ...


Darfur, Congo, Burma: is ‘good will’ enough?

Yesterday, Max Dana posted on her blog a long article titled: Darfur, Congo, Burma: is ‘good will’ enough? All the Sama Team felt very concerned by the subject, we discussed a lot about it since yesturday so we decided to post this entire article on the Sama Gazette. If you are a regular reader of the Gazette, you know we usually don’t post anything directly connected to Max Dana (it’s an internal policy, we stay independent ...


Mister Mystère: introducing Matthieu Chedid

In August, we tried to answer the question in our post: Who is Sliimy? The late answer… For those of you who think Sliimy is the only exportable French singer in the world, let us introduce you Matthieu Chedid, aka ‘M’. He’s almost forty, he writes great songs with sometimes off-beat lyrics, he plays guitar and he’s very creative. Plus, Matthieu Chedid and Max Dana share several common points: they are both called ...

  Tonight, from 9pm to 10pm, Human Rights Watch, Info Birmanie, FIDH, Amnesty International, SOS pour Aung San Suu Kyi and La Ligue des Droits de L’homme call for a meeting at the Hotel de Ville of Paris. This initiative was launched by Jane Birkin in July, and most of the signers of the initiative will be there: Catherine Deneuve, Michel Piccoli, Charlotte Rampling, Marion Cotillard, Arielle Dombasle, Charles Berling, Vincent Delerme, Marie ...


Buy (RED) Save Lives – JoinRED Fight AIDS

Many Sama Gazette staff members got (RED) Products: Max Dana has a Dell Mini netbook,  Uncle_Louis got the Chuck Taylor ALL STAR x Africa Converse, Caramel bought a Special Edition iPod nano and I modestly signed up to the (RED) Newsletter. The Sama Gazette has been (RED) contaminated, that’s why we wanted to post a news about (RED). If you still wonder ‘What is (RED)’, here is the official answer (read the (RED) Faqs): (RED) is a ...
