Social Dress New Orleans - 730 Days After 

Takashi Horisaki and a small team of volunteers were working 20-hour days in the 100-degree heat when OPP found them completing an art project in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans. Working on a largely abandoned block of the city, they worked with a mission to remind people of "what is still happening" in NOLA two years after the floods. Takashi's Blog

Frankfurt Book and Film Festival 2007

Scene at the 2007 Frankfurt Book Fair Film Expo 

Quick update on our return from the Frankfurt Book Fair, which included a exposition on film I was able to attend for two days. As my first real trade show, it was definitely a learning experience. We felt good about the direction OPP is taking after attending some workshops on Children's Books and New Media and a very interesting seminar on the merging of graphic novels and film. I was able to learn a lot about contracts, agents and other "traditional" publishing and film rights issues. Mitchell was working at the fair for a business venture he is participating in at Bibliobazaar.

The fair is a totally overwhelming cultural event with over 20,000 people from over 100 countries - all involved in the book or film trade. It is really where BookSurge (Mitchell's previous business) grew it's international book fulfillment operation so holds a special place for him. It was cool to get to tag along this year and see what all the hype was about. It definitely lived up to the hype. 

A post is forthcoming about hooking up with the Ani DiFranco tour in Milan, but for now some interesting graffiti and street art encountered on our trip:
