Our first Kickstarter campaign! Making this video was a lot of fun, and a great way to spend a Saturday. Shanai, Andy and I make a pretty good team, huh?
About the Mississippi Megalops:
Shanai and I are collaborating with Andy to present ‘Mississippi Megalops – A Floating Chautauqua’ at Northern Spark, an all-night nuit blanche art festival taking place from sunset to sunrise across the Twin Cities of Minneapolis-St.Paul, Minnesota on June 4th & 5th, 2011.
Mississippi Megalops is an all-night program of sparkling performances, illustrated presentations and other works of artistic & scientific expression, presented aboard the authentic Jonathan Padelford sternwheeler paddle boat as it makes its way up and down the Mississippi River, illuminating the shores of St. Paul.
Public participants will be invited to join us on one of four excursions that will enrich the mind & delight the senses! Each excursion will feature a unique line-up of musical performances, scientific and historic presentations, art installations and other happenings created by artists, scientists, storytellers and performers.
Why we need your support:
Funds will be used to rent needed equipment, pay a small stipend to participating artists and presenters, create and print a program poster & catalog, and document the whole experience with professional quality photographs & video for others to enjoy online.
How to get tickets for the boat:
Making a pledge is the only way to guarantee a seat on the boat! The fundraiser ends on Sunday, May 1st - at which point the remaining tickets will be made available to the public, for free, on a first-come first-serve basis. We’re really happy to be able to offer this experience for free because we want as many people as possible to be able to enjoy the Megalops, but to realize the full vision for this project we really do need financial support from people who can afford it!
