Incentives! DL ROADSHOW 2013! 2-Year anniversary!

Update #7 · Jan 15, 2013 · comment

If you've yet to receive an incentive for your loving contribution to DL: On Location - FEAR NOT!

The silkscreening elves have been working overtime preparing the final shipments for our Kickstarter campaign (due to ship in the next week - THANK YOU for your patience!) and also to swag up for our next DIRTY LOOKS ROADSHOW which kicks off at Printed Matter's L.A. Book Fair, where we will be exhibiting our publications, alongside fellow queer film fabulists, Little Joe Magazine. We're quite excited to announce that we're producing an exclusive set for the fair, which collects all 17 of our original publications and 22 of our event postcards in a Glow-in-the-Dark DL tote. Each set is numbered (in a limited edition of 25) and will only be available at the booth.

As if that wasn't enough, we had a fabulous time at our Venue Whetter event on Wednesday night at Heather's (who will also host our closing event on 7/31), where the DL curators mingled with many of our supporters and discussed the series. Bradford Nordeen even DJd into the wee hours. We premiered a new venue portrait, documenting the interesting trajectory of The Trucks last night. Watch that here:

Thank you again, for all of your help and support. Please share this information with the like-minded folk. We are close, but we need your help to get full funding!

See you in July
