Assocation of Asian American Studies Conference Day 2
Woke up bright and early to set up the Reel Asian table. We had many comments about our beautiful posters.
Aram with Laureen Chew, a professor at San Francisco State University, was Amy in Wayne Wang 's Chan is Missing and Geraldine in Dim Sum.
The conference center is HUGE. It's possibly the biggest building I have ever been in. I just looked it up actually. And its the biggest conventional center in North America (3rd in the world!).
We realized it wasn't self evident having books on a table that we were in fact selling the book, so I had to make this temporary sign. It got some laughs and consequently, some sales!
Aram chatting with a rep from Stanford Press.
There are about 15 vendor in the book room. And I can safely say, we sell the best book on Asian Canadian film.
The first real day at AAAS has been amazing. We've met lots of people and I even managed to get in a screening of Who Killed Vincent Chin. Aram is off to see Option 3 tonight at the Asian American Showcase.
