up & coming

Since coming off the high of "That Asian Thing" Showcase, I didn't want to lose the focus of completing the documentary. It can be easy to lay off and become inactive after finishing up a big project as the concert. We don't want to lose that forward momentum, so it's time to get back to scheduling interviews and attending events around the Chicagoland area. I'd like to thank everyone that sends info our way - I appreciate it as doing research can be very time consuming.

And here we go:

THE MERCHANDISE:

Please check out all our products that display different graphics used in our documentary. After the Showcase, many kids came up to me and asked to take "That Asian Thing" posters that we had on stage. Check out our online shop by clicking on my doctored up J (boy) Crew catalog picture:



THE INTERVIEWS:

I currently have 2 interivews in the mix:

-Robbi. She's an East-Indian American born rapper/songwriter. Doing live shows for awhile now, she's been in the thick of the Asian-American movement and she'll also be performing at the Elastic Arts Foundation (2830 N. Milwaukee) THIS THURSDAY starting at 9:30 pm. Make it out and support the cause!



--I'm also working on an interview with Alex Selma. Alex is currently part of the crew at the broadway show, Wicked, in Chicago. He actually contacted me through the help of the Angry Asian Man's website.

SO - this is what we currently have on the dashboard. Other things are still in the works as I'm trying to bring taping to a close by the end of the year. Thanks everyone!
