CARPINTERIA, Calif. – June 9, 2010 - With the final votes announced just before 1:00 am, Carpinterians got confirmed what already had been suggested by the results of the mail-in ballots the night before -- no oil and gas development in their seaside town in the foreseeable future. Measure J, Venoco, Inc.’s [NYSE: VQ] highly controversial oil and gas initiative received less than 30% percent of the town’s votes in yesterday’s elections.

Three hundred surf lovers and art fans rallied around surfing legend and local resident Shaun Tomson and 11 Carpinterian artists at the “Surf Art Show,” an event benefiting the grassroots, volunteer organization Citizens CAP (Citizens Committee Against Paredon Initiative) which opposes Venoco Inc.’s [NYSE:VQ] proposed Measure J.

Immergent (www.immergent.com) has "turned on the lights" of a new kind of online "record store" - a digital music environment powered by social networking technologies. Designed by music lovers for music lovers, Immergent offers fans rich experiences of buying, sharing, interacting, and discovering music online. The record store website launched its U.S. public beta at the National Association of Recording Merchandisers (NARM) 2010 Convention in Chicago.

Sleepy seaside Carpinteria woke up this morning to more than 500 ocean lovers saying “No on Measure J” at the Paddle Out Against Paredon event at the city’s beach. Surfers, kayakers, and supporters on the sand symbolized Carpinteria’s strength and sense of community, according to event organizer and surfer Carrie Reynolds. Additionally, the Chumash Maritime Association shared a traditional tomol (canoe).

The town of Carpinteria is coming together in the Paddle Out Against Paredon (a community-wide demonstration against Venoco Inc.’s [NYSE:VQ] oil and gas development initiative) to help raise awareness about the risks of Measure J and the threat of big oil and corporate domination our town is facing
