One of my focuspoints were to invite Cambodians to participate in the event (to help, perform, or to think along the concept) who kept themselves aloof from the Khmer community because they had been discriminated against because they were their own unique self. For instance, I contact Wichet Seav from Deventer, who has been a band manager for almost a decade to look at the program planning, even though he couldn't make it to the party himself. The same goes for Temy who performed - he is the youngest son of the first Khmer couple to have ever settled in the Netherlands. They had both explained to me they couldn't identify with the Khmer community or events that were being held and to involve Khmers like them was part of my idea.
Haha you are VERY VERY VERY welcome to come to Antwerpen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I stopped organising parties (too much of a hassle) and unfortunately those parties were more to practice DJ'ing and sharing music. It had none of the magic, nor effort or intention of Roamvong, which was fine. My heart is in ideas about the community, I realised, and I wish to rather create work around ideas of society and community rather then organising parties for the sake of parties :)
It was bro! whoohoo !
i saw many people there for the first time, it was like.....
WTH did they came from :)

Well it was a smart idea, to bring people together who normally dont see each other.
Why not doing it again but then a steemit party :)
Haha it's actually weird but I really don't like organising parties that much XD
Does that mean, we can forget your invitation in Antwerpen? :)
