Gulp! About to launch Indiegogo fund raising campaign!
So, the time has come to launch the crowd sourcing fund raising campaign. i am nervous and have lots of trepidation about this endeavour. Two years ago, i did the first for Having My Cake and Sharing It Too and it wasn't that great. i wasn't in the best situation to promote it and do all the work to make it successful.
Now i am in a much better place in my life, though not without challenges. i have had the experience of being a helper on other campaigns and have a sense of how it works.
i hope a few folks step up and help get the word out about this campaign because that is what makes it possible to succeed!
i'll do a separate post about the projects that are happening for GG9 and another with a more detailed explanation about the PERKS!
Got to do my first session at The LGBT Center of Cleveland yesterday and it turned out really well because i got pulled into meeting a group of youth from Mexico who are visiting the US learning about lots of stuff. The sponsoring organization's name i can't remember at the moment but it is something like The World Council of Nations..... will ask for it for what it really is.
The lot of youth spent a week in Vermont doing team building work and now a smaller group is visiting Cleveland doing a family stay and visiting different organizations. They participated in a Martial Arts Demonstration, some of them made a video about their time in the US so far, other helped with making dinner and then we all got to eat together and then we did an Inter-Galactic TransGender Warrior Cake Decorating Experience!!! It was a lot of fun and i got to speak a bit of my "crudimentario" (crude and rudimentary) Spanish!

The Puzzlement Laboratory is in Cleveland through The Gay Games 9.
Arrived in Cleveland on Monday and have been settling into The Couch House (www.couchhouse.org). It is located in the Detroit-Shoreway neighbourhood, conveniently a few blocks from The LGBT Center (www.lgbtcleveland.org) and also the lake!
Have set up a few events for during the Games already.
In The Moment Comic Book Making
Monday 11th 3 - 5pm
And
The Inter-Galactic TransGender Cake Decorating Experience!!!
Wednesday 13th 3 - 5pm
Both at the Center.
6600 Detroit Avenue
We will be making several LARGE Globes as a part of an interactive "Where are you from? and Who are you?" activity.
Also creating another Puzzle!
Hands Up-Hands Down-Hands Out- Hands In
https://www.facebook.com/events/738275352905864/
Decorate your hand(s) to express an aspect of your identity and email them to audaciousyear@gmail.com They will become part of a slide show. From these photos, some will be turned into a line drawing collage. This collage will be made into the Puzzle!
The collage image will be cut into 25 post card sized pieces and these pieces will be then coloured by folks. Then assembled and reassembled in a variety of ways.
So lots of fun and excitement!
Glad to be blogging again!
There will also be an online crowd source fundraiser to help cover expenses and to make sure i get paid a bit of money for all this work!!!
