Haiku Movie Review: Life of Pi

DID feel stuck on boat.
Fell asleep trying to watch.
 I hear live beasts call.

DEMONSTRA Deluxe Edition Funded!

A big thanks to everyone for your support! You're blowing us away with all of the positive comments and help to spread the word!

 In less than 24 hours we reached our first goal of $500. Vongduane Manivong can now complete 4 of the images for DEMONSTRA. These are the Kinnaly, Vanon, Nyakinee, and Nakanya.

As we overfund, we can add additional rewards to the different reward levels. If we reach $1,000 in funding, we can add the Gop Nyai - the giant frog who eats the moon. At $1,200, we can add Vongduane's take on the Nak, and everyone's postcards get upgraded in size to 8.5" x 5.47".

 Please continue to help us spread the word! :)

Our kickstarter to include Lao American art in my new book of poetry is located at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1064450543/demonstra-lao-american-art-and-poetry

Lao American Blog: House on the Mekong

One of the Lao American blogs to check out is "House on the Mekong" over at www.houseonthemekong.com, where you can find recipes for Lao dishes as well as stories inspired by the author's family experiences. She would also definitely love your feedback and requests. Please encourage her to keep blogging and helping to build an audience for Lao American arts, cuisine and culture.

 

The Demonstra: Deluxe Edition Kickstarter

On November 29th, at 2:22 p.m. we launched our kickstarter to commission Vongduane Manivong to illustrate several of the classic but rarely seen Lao creatures of myth and legend for DEMONSTRA. This funding drive will end on January 1st.

We hope to raise at least $500.

With your support, acclaimed Lao American artist Vongduane Manivong will provide several interior illustrations to help introduce Lao art, culture and imagination to our readers. 

 If we can get this project overfunded, we'd be able to commission more than just four pieces for this book, and can offer more exclusive and upgraded extras to everyone who orders in advance.
