Hi Bopha, 

If you can believe it, the book is set to be printing in only a few short days!

In full transparency, we are having trouble getting any concrete information or support from the ARCA conference. Josh and I will decide next week if it makes sense to go forward with the panel/launch there, but given how spotty things are I do not feel comfortable asking you to continue to hold space in your calendar. I’d like to suggest that if the ARCA panel does go through, we could welcome you as a panelist over Zoom. 

I more hopeful news, Josh and I were wondering if you would like to collaborate on a book launch at the Libby Leshgold book store in June? Josh and I will both be on that side of the world and we really want to have a chance to celebrate with you (as well as our other b.c. based contributor Mariane Bourcheix-Laporte) in person. Dana Kopel is in L.A., which a grant might make possible. The ideal dates for us would be between June 5 and 10.

If this sounds fun and possible, maybe we could have a quick meeting to make a plan? 

Hope you are good, 

Lauren

Hi Lauren, Josh, 

Yes, I think that's a good pragmatic solution re: Ottawa. June is now filling up for me. 
June 5-10 should work for us. Let me double check with the rest of the staff and get back to you about that. 

The Vancouver Art Book Fair is July 4,5,6. Although I don't have the full picture about the book fair yet. Putting that out there in case you need another option. 

I should know by the end of the week re: June launch event.

Thanks so much Bopha!

Unfortunately we won’t be in town for the VABF, but hopefully Art Met will be selling copies.

Looking forward to hearing back,
Lauren

Hi Lauren, Josh, 

We'd be happy to host a book launch during that window of time. Would Thursday June 5 work for you both?

June 4 could be another option, but I know that wasn't in your initial date range.
