We are working hard on the Cantocore show and will have more shortly In San Francisco for a few more weeks until back in China in August!

Hello, everyone.I am so glad to be one here. My name is Mean Chan from Shanghai China. I am one of Deer Fang’s students in Sun Yat-sen University, studying Digital Media Arts for the 2nd year. From May 10th 2008 on I became the assistant of Jon Phillips & Deer Fang. Although I have no background study in art before I entered into university, I am interested in art and want to know more about artists. That’s why I am an assistant here. I want to learn more here. Also I hope I can help deal with something as an assistant. Email me if I am in need.

Our polls closed at midnight last night with over 300 votes and the winners for Show Some Color 2 have been determined by your participation. Thanks to everyone who created this event with their skills, talents, attendance, and VOTING!

Don’t miss the last run of all the performances and videos on Channel 29, Access SF this Sunday, December 2 at 3pm. And of course, the event will keep it’s home at Fabricatorz.com

Voting for the best performer and best video clips is closing tomorrow PST November 28 11:59 PM. Please take the final chance to vote for six women performers and four video clips produced by video makers.

From November 1 to now, we have received 276 votes, and many interesting comments. All the traffic, attention and support we gain from the web are expanding the project and the dialogue we initiated. I want to say thank you to everyone who voted and left comments.

Tomorrow we are announcing the top voted winners!

We have received some comments that the star voting didn’t work for some people. The way the voting system works right now is it records the IP address when someone clicks on the star to vote. The website allows voter to vote once on the same post through that IP address. That means if you and several friends sharing the same net work in one location, you can only vote once on one video. The solution is to do it in other locations.

Hope you like the top feature box we added.

Voting for Show Some Color #2’s Best Performer and Best Video Clip is open right now. The Best Performer Award is $150. The Best Video Clip (for Video Maker) award is $100.
