Amber Vega 1953-2003
SCHNIBBE, ANNEMARIE - Annemarie Schnibbe of Bridgeport, CT, formerly of Hastings-on-Hudson, NY. Beloved daughter of Anne F. Schnibbe and the late Robert Schnibbe, Sr., died from complications of liver disease, on December 13, 2003 at St. Vincent's Hospital in Bridgeport, CT. Affectionately known as Ammer, she was born in Hastings on March 22, 1953 and was a graduate of St. Matthew's R.C. School and Hastings High School. She attended SUNY Cobbleskill to study conservation.
For some years, she was a coordinator for special project allocations grants for The American Red Cross, Southeastern Connecticut County Chapter, to bring health and safety into the inner city through education. She arranged and coordinated meetings with schools, community groups and students to recruit and train instructors about the need for outreach programs. For her efforts she received awards from the State of Connecticut and the "Connecticut Post." Most recently, she coordinated and was active in clothing the needy projects in Bridgeport. Her passion for animal rights was boundless, as was her concern for our environment. In addition to her mother, she is survived by her brothers, Robert, Jr., and Thomas of Hastings; Steven of Saranac Lake and her sister, Margie of Los Angeles. Also surviving is her caring and devoted companion of many years, Pedro Vega as well as her nieces and nephews. The family will receive friends at the Hastings Funeral Home, 15 Spring St., Tuesday, December 16, from 2-4 and 7-9PM. Mass of Christian Burial will be on Wednesday, December 17 at 11:00AM at St. Matthew's Roman Catholic Church in Hastings. Burial will be private. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Annemarie's memory may be made to the Doris Day Animal Foundation, 227 Massachuesetts Ave., NE, Suite 100, Washington, DC 20002 - www.ddaf.org

Dear Naomi, John, Phideaux & Bill,
First please accept my apologies for this group email but I'm imagining
that we're all having coffee together or something...
I have limited time as I'm off to LAX in half an hour and it's too
early to call.
As you may or may not know my sister 's health has been getting worse
over the past few months (I'm not sure if I've even mentioned this as
I've been in a bit of denial) Although her condition had been stable,
she had some kind of sudden attack and was admitted to the ICU a couple
of days ago in a very bad state and now is not expected to make it
through the day as her liver and kidneys have ceased functioning.
Yesterday we were still hopeful for a transplant but her condition is
too serious.
If you could give me a call at my mother's house sometime in the next
few days it would mean a lot to me. I know I will be needing a little
sanity/friendly chatter & a bit of help: 914.xxx.xxxx
or my cell: 213.xxx.xxxx
Trevor and Andy both know some details about the situation.
Also I'm sure it would mean a great deal to my mother if you sent her a
card. We're all really worried about her.
My Mom:
xxxx Schnibbe
xxxx xxxxx
xxxxx, NY 10xxx
Although some of us call my sister "Amber Vega," the name my parents
gave her is Annemarie.
Amber is not religious but she really loves cats.
Thanks for Listening
xxoo Margie

Sewing My Santa Suit

Last Sunday I appeared as Mrs. Claus with the Trash Band in The Highland Park Xmas Parade. I was filmed by a camera crew for Jack Osbourne's UK TV Show. They made me say a couple of silly lines none of which I can remember right now. I tried to change some word "codswallop" to "wanker" and they told me that you can't say "wanker" on English television.

Hmm I could swear I've heard "wanker" on BBC America. Certainly not from the lips of Mr. Miller. So I know this whole Santa thing is becoming quite a tradition for me. But what can I say? I'm hooked. After 3 years of the same Stevie Nicks style Xmas suit I'm trying to get a bit more contemporary- I've found some cheap sequined fabric and some shiny stretch velour to work with. . See you at Santacon. Wish me luck on not getting arrested this year.

Weekend Warriors

A few times a year I clean up the hard drive and burn all of my miscellaneous files onto CDs in no particular order. I recently stumbled upon this pic and letter from last April when I was obsessively surfing Craigslist for creative ways to make some easy cash.....

Dear Weekend Warriors
My bathroom is kind of zany & I would like to re-tile around the tub, wallpaper (or paint,) carpet, cabinet, etc.. something to make it feel "calmer" and less claustrophobic. I've pasted together a pic for you to get an idea of what it looks like. It's a small room- app. 5ft x 5ft.

Seems we've been rejected from Sundance although I haven't received a formal letter/email yet. Wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't lost the registration tags to my new car. What's the connection between one and the other? None unless you were raised Catholic of course. Perhaps I would feel better if I were driving legally......

A Birthday Dinner In Pasadena

In a constant search for that 'cozy- old-world-off-the-beaten path Italian Restaurant' we landed at Dino's in Pasadena. Although this place has received many favorable reviews the food really sucks. When we arrived Mr. Miller & I recounted tales of the very worst Italian food we ever had in LA (Scarantino's in Glendale) and lo and behold at the end of a horrific meal Mr. Miller read the back of the menu and discovered that we were at Scarantino's 'sister' restaurant. We actually had the best time and a hearty chuckle. At least we had found a place sans college students, hipsters and cops and the company could not have better.

After feeling quite loose from a few glasses of wine the other night, I answered a call to be a "volunteer extra" in Neil's Alpha 60 No Budget Feature Film . What was I thinking? Volunteer work? Who is Neil? What exactly is the Alpha 60 Collective? Why do I feel this urge to hang around a film set again with a bunch of strangers? Will I meet the gallery person who owns the space where they are shooting and be able to push my work? Will I meet new and exciting people? As it turned out a I had a lovely time even if the shoot went on forever (as if I didn't know that would happen) Cecil Seaskull who organized the extras is an actor, comedian and author- you should check out her website:http://home.earthlink.net/~seaskull. I also got to chat with Grover Babcock, co- director (with Blue Hadaegh) of the doc "A Certain Kind of Death" which I happened to see at Sundance last year. Highly recommended- check their website for screening info. As per Neil's Film? It's a narrative piece shot on DV about a guy in the art world. Don't know the title. I look forward to seeing the finished piece. Stay tuned for details.


1991 Volvo 740

16 November
My self-imposed deadline for a new car purchase was today, and Mr Miller just bought me this sporty car for my birthday. It runs great, low mileage for an LA Volvo and has real black leather interior sunroof (perfect for filming!) Although I'd become quite hooked on the 240, seems that much of LA has the same obsession and the 240 wagons are way overpriced- Like my dealer was asking 5 grand for a 1990 with peeling paint, a burning engine smell and 175,000 miles. So now I have a conservative car which happens to be the same model as my old shrink's. Does that mean I'm growing up or something? Or perhaps I just don't give a fuck...

So if you're looking for ra use volvo some things you should know- private parties sell them cheaper than dealers , but generally with a slew of troubles (an no warranty.) Most people don't realize that even if the engine does okay on a compression test all the other tweaks really add up: trannie maintenance, differential, brakes, front end, shocks, starter, alternator etc... I should know after all the money I sunk into my old car.
