Live blogging or something

I had been debating a little bit in my head back and forth of whether I should do 'live blogging' for the film festival. Basically, writing every night about the film fest in this good ol' blog of mine, with the main reason to get people more pumped up somehow about the whole thing, and also for everyone who can't come but wishes they could be around, to be in the know. I was easily convinced to do this after a brief chat with African Arab. fanks mate.

Ok so we premiere on Wednesday - THIS WEDNESDAY! And yes I am extremely nervous but also excited but also anxious for all of it to be over. I think I'm a little bit nervous of speaking in front of everyone at the Michigan Theatre - its best for me to not think about it so that I won't get nervous. I'm sure Reid and I will figure out what we're saying about a half hour before we have to go up there and present ourselves. My main worry right now about Wednesday is...what to wear. No joke.

Today was one of those days where a whole bunch of us are putting our heads together trying to get all the ends put together. Flyers, emails, booklets, tickets, the whole lot. I came back to Michigan on Friday night and its been chaos since then, especially because some members of my family are leaving the country for 4 months, and well tonight was a day of packing/moving stuff around, as well as a hyper 4-year-old running around wanting to play with everyone, but we were all too busy to do so. During this whole time I was working with our awesome graphic designer Namira, to help put the finishing touches on our booklet.

So that was today. Tomorrow will be more flyering/phone calls/frantic emails. I'll be on a radio show that's gonna be from 3-4pm, called Arabian Candles. If anyone wants to listen online, click here and click on WNZK 680/690am Detroit.

Stay tuned.
