arizona

i am in arizona for the Lao Studies Conference. i will be showing the movie we made about teenage gambling in the southeast asian community on friday night. but it is being shown at the same time as another film about a Lao man's refugee experience. i think that film should draw a big crowd. maybe even me. what does it mean when i would rather go see his film than sit through the gambling film again? at least i can sit back and know that i am not a filmmaker. so even if nobody (not even me) shows up to watch the gambling movie, i can still feel ok about the world.

me too, yay for posting! and I betcha at least 10 people show up. (since it's a post about gambling, betting has to be involved in the comments section.)

you win the bet... about 12 showed up! i was happy. (the other film probably had 70?)

One day I hope you show me the film. I bet I will enjoy it immensely. So, are you liking your new job?
