SORRY TO BE A PAIN BUT I’VE HAD TO MOVE APATURE LIVE BLOG TO ANOTHER SITE!

The post from last night has been moved to the other site so please jump over there to read about the gallery opening.

*****

If you’ve linked to this blog, or want to, APAture Live is at a new site. The old WordPress site doesn’t support Javascript (WTF?) so I can’t collect data on where our traffic is coming from. So I had to switch to good ol’ Typepad, which hosts my own blogs. HERE’S THE NEW URL:

http://clairelight.typepad.com/apaturelive

FYI: this APAture liveblogging thing arose out of a call for proposals for artist commissions from a grantmaker that shall remain nameless unless I get the grant. The project is twofold: I will be liveblogging APAture to creat a text documentation of the event, and I will be tracking traffic to see if people are interested in a text document, how people find out about the blog, and how they use the site. So I really need to be able to track traffic properly-like.

If you’d like to help me out in this project, please post a feed to this blog on your blog or website for the duration of APAture (Sept 18-27, 2008). Here’s the feed URL:

Thanks, and I’ll see you at APAture!

Welcome to APAture Live, your liveblog for the Kearny Street Workshop’s Bay Area festival, APAture: A Window on Emerging Asian Pacific American Artists!

This is the APAture event’s first blog; it’s also a liveblog, that is to say, I will be posting here live during the APAture events, describing the smell of the greasepaint and roar of the crowd. The comments section below is open; please use it! I’ll be responding to comments and questions throughout the event.

I’m planning on attending all or most APAture events, so keep an eye out for me. I’ll be the one with the laptop!
