Hello. Hello.
I am alive. Life has been busy in NYC, so much to the point where I haven't been able to keep up with my eating much less the LJ. One of the things that has kept me busy is volunteer work for a dance company, Misnomer Dance Theater. There, I am one of the leaders orchestrating a technology push into performing arts to build new audiences and eventually create partnerships with theaters. We are looking to bring the arts to people in radically different ways than ever before, first online. To bring us to the next level (which requires funding), we have entered IdeaBlob's December $10K business idea contest, and we are in the finals.
We have until the 31st to gather votes. If we win, we are going to work on building an online theater, creating abilities to webstream multi-point camera footage of rehearsals or backstage, and create online maps to then use with theaters.
Please consider voting for this project. I believe in the work strongly, and I hope you can help support the idea and also a first stipend (for me) to come from this funding.

I look forward to replanning my life soon in 2008 and finding time to catch up with you online as well. Take care!
