Geography quiz: what river runs through Shanghai?
Virginia would tell you it’s the Whangpoo (or Huangpu in today’s spelling). But I’m beginning to think it’s the Willamette. 
At least, my Shanghai finds its home on the Willamette, the river that runs through Portland, Oregon. And tomorrow night, Portland will get a taste of My Shanghai when we screen our Kickstarter trailer at the Willamette Writers Conference FilmLab.
It’s exciting, screening for a big crowd. A first for us. Joan Macbeth and I will be doing a Q&A afterwards to field all those questions. How the project got started, what about the filming… we’ll be ready. Especially if this comes up —
