Hi friends, Three nuggets of news for this first month of 2018:

We are approaching the final 10 days of our fundraiser campaign with just under 5 grand to go. Massive thanks to the 218 folks who have backed the project so far.

Please checkout the 3 minute trailer, read all about the film, press received so far, hot links, and how to donate here:
kickstarter.com/projects/2087850014/milford-graves-full-mantis-feature-film

As many of you have heard, the film has been selected to premiere as part of special program on 
Pan Africanism in cinema at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in The Netherlands at the end of this month. Graves, Jake and I will be there to celebrate, and even more excitingly, Graves will present a rare solo performance immediately following the screening. 

Additionally, I will be in the Low Countries a week before the festival, playing a few last-minute Bromp Treb solo gigs and brushing up on my abysmal dutch pronunciation. Come out if you're in the neighborhood, or, if know any nearby bozoes would likely be psyched, please alert them. Dank U wel!

Lastly, while it is true that the conditions on the river have been well-ripe for a stellar Noisecapades this year, we must continue to consult the oracle for the most propitious time for such an endeavor. These are delicate matters and we hope that such favorable conditions and energies will align as such for a proper session on the ice this season. You will be warned exclusively at this mailing list with at least five days notice, there will be no social media for any such activity. "Like" IRL and get some fresh air. 

Thanks for reading this far. The Year of the Mantis is looking pretty wild so far.
Please Feed the Mantis and enjoy the ride!

xo,neil
