Hello,
As you may know, I am not a writer but I work with writing, words, and storytelling and I am thrilled to be featured in the month of small press at Skylight Books. (The writer friends say it is a fun deal.)
With a microphone, a mini podium, and my little TV that looks like a helmet, I will be giving a presentation (Tupperware style) about my Book and DVD project.
My project is titled The Ice Skating Tree Opera – Director's Cut (as a Book and DVD).
In case you didn't know this project was launched in December 2007, and it is published by 2nd Cannons Publications. (It was a big hit!... Publisher Brian (P.B.) had to send it back to the printer.)
I am going on tour in early June, and at this point I am not really sure when (if) I will be coming back to L.A., so this is your last time to get your book personally dedicated to you (unless you buy the knitted DELUXE copy, something can be arrange then. Errr…)
Come on Friday, 4th of April, at Skylight Books, at 7:30pm (don't be late):
- to find out what's really in the book;
- to ask Julie what it is all about and make her stutter;
- to view some clips from the DVD (not sure which one yet);
- to figure out what's the relationship between the book, the DVD, and the Ice Skating Tree Opera and how it all came together.
- to hear live reading taken from some paragraphs in the book;
- meet Publisher Brian (P.B.)
In case you can't make it on Friday April 4th: You will have to buy (with a credit card) yourself a copy of Julie's The Ice Skating Tree Opera- Director's cuts by visiting http://www.2ndcannons.com/ or calling the 2nd Cannons Hotline telephone number- that is (323) 267-0650
About the book: "The Ice Skating Tree Opera – Director's Cut (as a Book and DVD) was in Julie's daily planner for about 2 years. This is Julie's first publication ever (probably why it took so long). The book is very nice looking (about 23 cm. x 18 cm.); it has a lot of colored pages (err… Publisher Brian complained), and some funny words. The DVD takes a while to watch so you're really getting a lot for your money. There are has some singing, gossips, and green screen videos.
About the author: Born in 1979, Julie Lequin is a French Canadian who makes videos, performs, and do watercolors in spare time. Julie is an active list-maker and she likes to waste time in making props for video, and sometimes she writes stories. Julie is leaving Los Angeles in early June to go on tour around the world (for artists residencies). No tears, it will be awesome. You can keep in touch with Julie if you check her gossip column: http://julielequin.blogspot .com
About the publisher: 2nd Cannons Publications is Brian Kennon's project. While Brian Kennon was walking from the living room to the kitchen, he had the magical and whimsical idea of starting his own publishing company. That was in 2005 in Los Angeles, he never made it to the kitchen then. We nowadays call him P.B. (Publisher Brian). 2nd Cannons has been blowing up since its debut.
