Okay ladies and gents -

Get your mouse clicks in gear cause we need to make some big waves over here if we want Tribeca calling. Here's your 411 again, in letter formation for essential forwarding function:

Buddies, Amigos, Comrades, and Enemies too-

Wanna know a quick way to raise the thriving awareness for indie filmmaking?! Wanna learn about how Asians are American and how American Asians are? Wanna watch a free (YES, FREE!) flick online without needing to pay, get spammed, or spy thru your neighbor's window? WELL TODAY'S YOUR DYNOMITE DAY OF DAYS!

"That Asian Thing" (http://www.thatasianthing.com) can be viewed online by doing the following:

Go to http://cinema.lycos.com/movies/that_asian_thing

Click on "Sign in" at the top left of your screen. Log in or register - just need a valid email and then verify it.

Then click on the "watch now" box on the right. Done as done.

And guess what - if you've already seen the flick or don't have the time - YOU CAN VOTE WITHOUT WATCHING!

A FEW TROUBLE SHOOTING QUESTIONS:

We have heard a lot of the numerous problems with watching the film online. I apologize as we have no technical control over this. This is why we say YOU CAN VOTE WITHOUT WATCHING! Otherwise, I suggest trying a couple of options if you're giddy to watch.

1. Try logging in through the Independent Features Film Festival website:

http://www.independentfeatures.com

Then look for the flick under View Films & Documentaries. The films are in alphabetical order. You'll be whisked away to the Lycos Cinema site, to which you'll have to log in again. But I've heard this works, so try it.

2. Try watching at a different time. I've heard people get the "No Remote Control" message or simply can't view. Either someone else is watching or the site is acting el wacko as it usually does. Just try again or try logging in with a different email address. In this day and age, people usually have like 2 or 3. Make use of it, eh?

3. Make sure you have the latest Adobe Flash kickin in your cpu system. If you no comprendo, then check out the Adobe website'oh:

I hope these options help!

PROMO PEEPS:

An extra syrupy high-five to all the people that have been extra plugging the flick, especially Apple on Facebook, friends & family on myspace/facebook, Robbi on myspace, J Vita thru Tinbox, Steve Munoz, Cynthia Lin, and anyone else that I didn't catch from my own web surfing. Thanks everyone! Let's keep kickin it up a notch!

Our friends at the podcast, Paunch Stevenson Show gave us a plug in Episode 102. First - congrats on the 100th show guys! Also - thank you for supporting my (Jonald Reyes) work. Really do appreciate it. Listen to these dudes, would ya:

Next, from the magical world of myspace, we were able to get a plug on the Daily section of Asiance Magazine. Check it out:

With that, I (Jonald) was given the super cool opportunity to write about the Asian-American male in American society. Please read my article:

Thank you to Jaymie for all the help and exposure! Hopefully I can make another cameo in the future.

Alright kiddies - this is all the candy we have for today. Please get those votes in and tell your friends to do the same. Have a happy day and keep it cool...
