    Lisa, I’ll give you a call. My former agent, Janell Ageyman, was associated with the book fair when she lived in Miami. I was there several years ago to promote my memoir. Thanks for finding me.

    Hi Afi,

    My name is Danielle Benavides. I am currently studying M.A. in Journalism at California State University, Northridge. As part of a short interview project this semester I have to investigate and understand motivations for participating on crowd-funding sites such as Spot.Us, Kickstarter.com, and Ulule to name a few.

    I noticed and read through the different projects on Spot.Us, and your project on “Hard Time on the Unemployment Line” really stood out to me. I understand your project has already been funded and you have already completed the first series.

    With all that being said, I am hoping if you would not mind in answering a short list of questions for my interview.

    Please email me back at your convenience if you would be willing to do so. I understand that in doing so you would be taking time out of your schedule and I want to sincerely thank you ahead of time.

    Best regards,
    Danielle Benavides

    Hello,

    Here at Oberlin College, a group of students is working to put together a symposium entitled “Activism and Voice – Feminism in New Media.” Currently, we are in the beginning planning stages of the symposium putting together a series of speakers, workshops, panels, and exhibitions. Our tentative dates are the second and third week of April and we are inquiring of your availability at that time. Given the range and content of your work, it would be great to have you on board.

    Please let me know if you have any interest in participating. I hope to hear from you soon!

    Best,
    Stella Byrne

    Hi Afi,

    Thanks again for participating in the “Writing About Cleveland” panel we hosted at the Happy Dog a couple weeks ago. I wanted to pass along an invite to another unique event we’re hosting next Monday, January 30th from 7-8:30pm. Rick Robinson, a Cleveland Institute of Music graduate and recent alumni of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, is touring the country with his new project, CutTime Simfonica.

    CutTime is a project Rick developed, with support from the Kresge Foundation, to expose new audiences to classical music. Rick was recently interviewed on NPR’s All Thing Considered in a piece called, “Taking Classical Off the Pedestal, Into Black Communities” (available at: http://www.npr.org/2011/12/24/144193341/taking-classical-off-the-pedestal-into-black-communities.

    Rick played the Happy Dog in the fall as part of Classical Revolution Cleveland, a series we’ve been supporting for over a year. We partner with Classical Revolution Cleveland to present free classical music concerts on the third Tuesday of every month. It makes the music more accessible to the people in our neighborhood, and it allows the musicians to reach audiences they otherwise wouldn’t in the concert halls. Here is a clip of Rick playing at the Dog with a group of local musicians: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hMPJOpMe6k&lc=yxGCyC0Zm-jtGJLqBeMktgfk4uXYe3Yr6zayU_K2ly0&context=C33e164aADOEgsToPDskJAL2sFItdwq7r9-jo3Z_Er

    Best regards,
    Sean Watterson
    Co-Owner, The Happy Dog
