Matthew Mitcham endorses Gay Games motto "Participation, Inclusion, and Personal Best™".
The Federation of Gay Games has released a video on its web site (http://www.gaygames.com) featuring Matthew Mitcham in a 60 second message, encouraging everyone to participate in the Gay Games.
The video features gold-medal winner Mitcham diving followed by a personal, poolside message: “You don’t have to be an Olympian to participate in the Gay Games. The motto of the Federation of Gay Games is participation, inclusion, and personal best. Everyone can play in sport and culture. Why not be part of it?” A second video has been launched on the 2010 Cologne Gay Games web site (http://www.games-cologne.com) with Matthew Mitcham encouraging participation in the 2010 Gay Games.
Matthew Mitcham won the gold medal in men’s platform diving at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, scoring the highest marks ever in platform diving. Matthew Mitcham is 21 years old, resides in Sydney, Australia, and continues competing in diving events while preparing for the 2012 Olympics. Mitcham was one of two “Out” (openly gay) male athletes at the Beijing Olympics.
Federation of Gay Games Marketing Officer, Doug Litwin, has a very positive response to these videos. “Matthew clearly recognizes the life-changing impact that comes from participating in a large international event. Just as he made history and opened millions of eyes on the diving platform in Beijing, he realizes that the many thousands who have participated in the Gay Games have also had their eyes opened as part of their own life-changing experience. As we've been saying for years... ‘Gay Games Change The World.’”
Federation of Gay Games VP of External Affairs, Kate Rowe (Sydney), produced the video with Matthew Mitcham and can be contacted for Australian support. Sponsorship inquiries for Matthew Mitcham can also be directed through Ms. Rowe (krowe@gaygames.org). Kate commented about Mitcham. “Despite his heavy training commitments for the 2012 Olympics, Matthew wanted to give something to the global Gay and Lesbian sporting community by offering to endorse the Federation of Gay Games and the 2010 Cologne Gay Games with his appearance in this video.” Rowe added “We really appreciate Matthew’s generosity in participating freely, and found it a joy to work with him. Matthew’s enthusiasm for the Gay Games is clearly evident. In fact, he hopes to participate himself sometime in the future.”
The Federation of Gay Games would like to acknowledge Mat Webster and Dion Wilton from Metro Screen, Sydney, Australia, who also gave freely of their time to film and edit the video.

Performers and VIPs to experience Florida’s fastest growing new spiced rum
Miami, Florida - VIPs and performers at this weekend’s Ultra Music Festival in Miami’s Bicentennial Park will have a chance to experience Kilo Kai, the wildly popular new spiced rum. Kilo Kai will be the exclusive rum in the Ultrafest VIP area and Kilo Kai bottles will be placed in the private facilities reserved for top performing talent.
Kilo Kai, launched in October of 2007, was introduced to Florida in January of this year. Floridians have taken to the product in droves with sales so high that they caused a nationwide product shortage for 3 weeks in February. Kilo Kai is now available at more than 1,100 locations throughout the state.
“We created Kilo Kai Rum as a better-tasting alternative to many of the market-leading brands,” said Kilo Kai President Brad Trayser. “Much of our success has come from word-of-mouth as people learn about us from their favorite bartender, server or DJ. We’re thrilled to have been invited to be part of the Ultra Music Festival and happy to offer VIPs and performers backstage a chance to try this great rum.”
The Ultra Music Festival is one of the largest and most important music festivals in the United States. Now in its 11th edition, the two-day festival takes place Friday and Saturday, March 27 and 28 at Downtown Miami’s oceanfront Bicentennial Park. Sixteen stages will feature over 100 DJs, bands and producers with an estimated 70,000 international attendees. Top acts include Tiësto, the Black Eyed Peas, The Prodigy, Paul Van Dyk, Carl Cox and a special guest performance by Bloc Party. Tickets range from $40 to $350 for a two-day all VIP pass.
