Hello Dear Friends,
I like telling stories, I can't help myself: instead I should encourage you to spread the word about the this campaign, donate more, and help us to reach the goal! Ok I'll do it later because today is a special day! On October 3rd, 2008, I arrived in NYC for the first time, my head full of hope and dreams. But in the same time, the recession starts and the winter was really cold. A year later, day by day, on October 3rd 2009, by a beautiful night, The Invisible Dog opens to the public! And today, On October 3rd 2012, we celebrate all together its official 3rd anniversary!
You think I forgot the story? Here it is: Back to October 2008, i was out for a stroll, and i came across McCarren Park in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. I was walking alone. There were 3 young girls, with smily faces and a sign in front of them: FREE ADVISE. I stopped and asked one of them: "Do you think I should stay in NYC?" But another one stared at me and answered: "New York will give you back anything you give to her! New York is generous".
Indeed, NYC is generous, and you are generous! more than $20 000 already and we are only "al mitad del camino". We can make it! We can make even more: so many projects are still waiting. So many artists need this money! So please, continue to help us to success, spread the word everywhere around you, increase your donation if you can, send us messages.
1, 2, 3: GO!
Thank you and have a beautiful 3rd of October!
Lucien Zayan
