Day #2 at the Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) convention in Boston. I realized we had achieved a milestone when someone I was just introduced to excitedly exclaimed, "So you're Strange Tango! Everyone is talking about it!"

Being sentimental, I wanted to give the AAJA student journalists programs the opportunity to break the story about Strange Tango and its unique concept: Literature as an art installation in cyberspace. First thing in the morning at the registration desk, I was interviewed by a reporter with the mobile journalism project, and I also talked with the editor of AAJA Voices.
I've heard from friends around the country who are helping us go viral around the globe with this mantra:
