Curious TRIBE

dear readers,

(including YOU: amazing friends, colleagues, buddies and anyone else I think is pretty awesome.)

Since December 2009, I have self-published http://www.invadeNOLA.com, an online culture magazine aimed at 18-34 year olds, that mirrors the tone of New Orleans: authentic, multicultural and irreverent. It started one day after watching an episode of The Hills. I decided MTV had failed us, and vowed to prove that millennials have the power to change the world in a positive way.

In three short months, the site has made a significant impact, gaining over 8,720 page views, and nearly 2000 unique visitors and over 100 comments. We also expanded outside of New Orleans reaching 40 of the 50 states and 27 countries.

I need to ask for your support in expanding my vision.

I developed a Kickstarter page to raise $3500 over the next month. Your support will help fund 5 months of weekly issues, but more than that, it will give a voice to independent media.

With 350 people donating $10 each we can reach this goal, but every dollar helps.

Thank you and please forward this message on.

Lets be honest.

No one in our generation really believes in anything.

Its like all the great wars have been waged and now we are on the precipice of a dying planet and no one gives a fuck.

ABC did a spotlight on Sleigh Bells.

I guess it makes them a little less cool, but I still love the electro pop duo.

Brooklyn’s Sleigh Bells is probably one of my favorite bands right now.

Crazy folks.

In 1776, Viennese schoolmaster Antonio Felkel factored every number up to 408,000. Few people bought the book, though, so the treasury recalled it and used the paper to make ammunition cartridges.

University of Prague professor J.P. Kulik spent 20 years extending the work to 100,000,000. He published it in six volumes in 1867.

Volume 2 has been lost.

After nearly 3 years, I believe that it is finally time to end the Curious Tribe blog as we know it.

Over the course of this short time Curious Tribe has:

Produced over 2500 blog posts
Published two issues of a printed magazine (Invasion Magazine)
Published two issues of an online magazine (Invasion Online)
Developed a brand tshirt
Participated in the Alternative Media Expo twice
And created 12 mix tapes

But more than that, we have shown that young people have the power to make a dent in the universe.

I am writing to inform you that Curious Tribe will transition to a brand umbrella for a number of new products. This site will no longer update with dope culture posts and instead will focus on brand progress for Curious Tribe and ventures that we support.

Our newest venture INVADENOLA.COM launched in late December and aims to be the best indie online magazine New Orleans has seen. The site updates biweekly on Tuesdays with issues based on specific themes. In conjunction with this project we have a new culture and events blog and an events calendar.

Thank you for your continued support. My focus for 2010 is to take bigger risks. I can’t do this without you.

Lovejustin.

Marie-Pierre Arthur - Elle

Marie-Pierre Arthur is a young folk/pop singer-songwriter from Quebec who is just loaded with musical talent. Even though I can’t understand the lyrics because I don’t speak French, her breathy vocals and song melody pulls you in.
