Dear Negin,
I saw your recent project, “Dirty Immigrant Collective”, and I thought you might be interested in our upcoming event., as the theme is immigration. I am a curator with Art for Change, a non-profit arts organization based in East Harlem, and I thought you might be interested in submitting a proposal for our upcoming outdoor art exhibition as part of Hacia Afuera Public Arts Festival. Details are on our website: http://www.artforchange.org/get-involved/. All ideas are open – could be performance, etc… Feel free to forward to any other artists or performers you may know who are interested in addressing immigration issues with their art as well. We would love to hear from you! Please also note, the submission deadline has been extended to MONDAY, JULY 12! Thank you!
Best,
Alyssa

Hey Negin,
I will be Austin starting next Thursday and will definitely stop by to say hi! Hope to catch your stand-up that night. On a side-note, I think we knew each other growing up. Or am I wrong?
Hi, Negin!
Just finished viewing “The Muslims Are Coming” docu on Netflix & just wanted to congratulate you and say how great it is. It’s also fab to see your connections with the TED folks. You are doing phenomenal things with your talent and I simply want to be one voice that says, “KEEP IT UP!!!”
As for myself, I’m an international aid worker who has served a myriad of people groups throughout the globe.
Even though I am from a state known for its progressive mentality (Oregon), I grew up in a small conservative Christian community. Sadly, I have seen some of those ugly attitudes crop up here and there; at times it staggers me to see people I love think with such pettiness.
Fortunately, I have not only statistics and persuasive social commentators such as yourself for reference points. And not only do I know world history (religious history) as well as an excellent grasp on the Biblical & Koranic passages (The OT, NT or Koran game u did was brilliant — I’ve done something similar in churches & civic groups. It’s SO compelling!).
My work in places like Afghanistan & Kosovo have given me ample real life, personal relationships with many Muslims who took me into their homes & families. There were even times where these amazing people literally put their lives (& that of their family) in harm’s way for me, particularly my first time in Afghanistan (shortly after 9-11).
Anyhow, all the best to you & your endeavors!
Khuda hafez,

I really love YouTube free info sirhang, but DIY-ers BEWARE! Check with all the manufacturer’s website and any available OEM manuals BEFORE doing any sort of DIY work. I speak from experience because I have broken many things from my own overzealous white trash DIY actions. (and probably will continue to do so in the future). BUT DO YOUR RESEARCH! As many people below stated, there are several steps skipped here that could lead to damage, injury, or worse. Nonetheless, GDMf-ing funny video.

You understand so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I personally will need to…HaHa).
You certainly put a brand new spin on a subject
which has been discussed for years. Great stuff, just excellent!
Thank you for your forum post.Really looking forward to read more. Fantastic. Julieta
America needs to end the “boogeyman”, “axis of evil”, they are all dangerous mentality and relate to other nations and persons intelligently. Just spent a lovely 2 week visit in Iran and could not have been more warmly received by the people of Iran.
