Eric Rochow wins the Steve Lehman 6 Gold Star Award™ for being a media pioneer. Eric is the first person I know who went out with a camera and a laptop and made his own TV show. It incredible to witness how many changes have taken place in communications over the last several years and Eric is right there on the wave.
Check out Gardenfork TV and Real World Green, Eric's been working hard on them. I must say I enjoy real world green because I am very interested in sustainability issues and I had a very similar idea.

OATMAN / BAILEY DUO WIN LONG OVERDUE AWARD FOR DUCKFOOT!!!
Mark Bailey and Michael Oatman win the Steve Lehman 6 Gold Star Award for the creation of Nobody Liked Duckfoot. Duckfoot is a hidden gem in the world of cartoon characters. Never published in the mainstream press, only a few rare copies of this cult classic still exist.
I want to recognize Oatman and Bailey as pioneers in the realm of dark cartoons. They were creating weird dark stuff before South Park even existed. But you know how it goes…..”first on the beach often gets shot.”
The Great Michael Oatman has gone on to have an amazing career as a professional artist and professor. Mark Bailey has moved onto bigger and better things and is a rising star in the world of Hollywood screenwriting.

Dave Lefkowitz Wins SL6GS Music Award!!!!!!!!!!
Dave Lefkowitz wins the Steve Lehman 6 Gold Star Award for a lifetime of achievement in music. Dave, a mogul in training, is the Bay Area go to man for music. If you need to know anything about music find Dave. He manages Les Claypool and Primus along with heading up the new Golden Voice venues. What it comes down to is I've never met anyone more knowledgeable about music than Dave.
Yes, these awards are somewhat biased…….Dave and I go way back to Hanes House days. We were next-door neighbors our freshman year at Duke…….those were the days hanging out, partying with computer science majors Mike Abert and Melinda Gates. Well, the Melinda part is a stretch but Mike knew her and the word is she is also a distinguished Hanes House alum. No, it's not true we didn't date. No, she didn't invite me to a Kappa formal. However, I'm pretty sure we used to say hi to one another in the hall.
From the day I met him, Dave was into MUSIC. There are people who are into music and then there’s Dave. I mean Dave is into MUSIC. Other than professional musicians, There's no one more into music. I just pop in a CD and listen but Dave collects them, memorizes the backs, produces them, knows all the songs, studies the history, manages bands, the works………his almost photographic memory for the stuff makes it almost other worldly.
I was at his wedding and his mom recounted a story from when he was a baby, “When we were driving, songs would come on the radio and Dave would point and say, ‘mu, mu, mu. He was only one." He couldn’t even pronounce music yet but he was already listening. Incredible, I love the story.
