We Couldn't Have Done it Without You!
By Schema Mag CrewMay was a big month for us.
On top of being Asian Heritage Month, we planned and implemented four major events:
Sunday, May 16th: Colour of Beauty Screening and Panel Discussion, in partnership with NFB's Work For All Campaign. We had anticipated maybe 30-50 people to show up and we ended up running out of chairs, because we had almost 100, we repeat, ONE HUNDRED, people come out to talk about race and ethnicity issues in the fashion industry, and on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, to boot! It was utterly amazing. THANK YOU ALL who came out to participate to the Museum of Vancouver (MOV) for facilitating such a great event. WE LOVE YOU!
Thursday, May 20th: Giant Robot iWriteAboutMe.com web-writer's workshop. As you know, we had the privilege to talk to Eric and Martin, creators of Giant Robot Magazine, via iChat on a Thursday evening and this was kind of an opportunity for Vancouver/resident GR fans to get to know their idols of such a pivotal Asian American magazine. Eric and Martin shared with us their insights on the how they see Asian pop culture today, how they have (and have not) struggled to write 80 per cent of the content that goes into GR and how they have yet to lose their drive and passion in making sure we get our dose of Asian American Pop Culture. Eric and Martin, YOU ARE OUR HEROES.
Thursday, May 20th: West is East Party and Fundraiser, for none other than, Giant Robot Magazine! Along with the help of some fabulous people in our city, including Sammie Jo Rumbaua of Sammie Jo Productions, Boombox Saints (who were off the hook that night, by the way), Style-O-Phonics, Hari, Ayex, House of Q, Jojo Zolina (thanks for the support, Jojo) and last but certainly not least, Fortune Sound Club (thank you Fortune for allowing us to use your venue, it was so fitting!), our WEST is EAST party was an incredible success.
Party photos taken by Aaron Richard Jay (our incredibly talented photographer) to come! STAY TUNED!!
Sunday, May 30th:The sponsorship of the New Asia Film Festival. NAFF has been amazing in supporting Schema Mag and this partnership, among many others, has been an absolute pleasure. We look forward to growing and developing with New Asia for years to come. (And if you missed out on this year's film fest, don't worry, we'll make sure we keep you informed and up to date!)
We go hard. At times it looked like we may have bitten off more than we could chew, but a genius blend of talent, drive, and raw determination saw us through, making sure that each event was a huge success in its own right. And we couldn't have done it without you.
We are re-energized and ready to face the challenges that may come as Schema continues to expand its horizons, and exceed expectations. While the summer will largely be a time of inward reflection and personal growth for the magazine itself, that doesn't mean that we are going anywhere. We will continue to go InDepth to bring you that Daily Dose of ethnic cool. We are all People to Watch, and trust us when we say you will be seeing a lot more from us.
Get ready, cause here we come.
Yours truly,
Schema mag
