Molly and Kai Book Launch – This Saturday in Times Square

The “Molly and Kai” Book Launch Party
Saturday, March 22, 2008
from 2PM – 5PM
at Roy Arias Theaters inside Times Square Arts Center
300 W. 43rd Street, Studio 500, New York, NY 10036

Live music, fun activities for toddlers, and light refreshments will be provided.
The event is open to children of all ages and their parents or caretakers. Admission is free.

Molly the Blue-Haired Giraffe and Kai the Penguin was developed by Omar Ovalle.
The characters Molly and Kai originated from a song that Omar sung to his newborn son, Kai.
Kai is both Colombian and Japanese, and is currently being raised in a tri-lingual environment.

Omar designed and developed the characters to entertain and educate Kai and other children between 1-4, who live in a multi-lingual environment. The participants will get the first opportunity to get the English/Spanish/Japanese version of the book.

The books will eventually be available in other tri-lingual combinations, based on demand.

Atomic Flame, Three Minutes to Midnight

FLG designed the film poster for the documentary ATOMIC FLAME. The documentary is about the epic journey of Zen monks who walked across from San Francisco to New Mexico to return the burning embers of Hiroshima from 60 years ago, back to the original atomic bomb testing site at Trinity, New Mexico. Read more about it at the Global Nuclear Disarmament Fund Website.

 

The Japanese Version was designed with the help of Mercury Project Office.

FLG Logo seen in Times Square

 

Lo and behold…the award-winning ad from Fifth Line Group!

FLG entered the Dell Small Business Ad Contest and was chosen to have their ad displayed on a big screen in Times Square.

It was an exciting day for the Fifth Line Group team as they watched in amazement the beautiful logo that was shown in sparkling lights…

See our ad on Dell’s Small Business Website.

Announcement from Dell:

Dear Omar Ovalle,A few weeks ago, we gave small businesses the chance to win a free ad in Times Square. We wish we could include everyone who entered, but we had to limit the selection.And now, it’s finally time to recognize these well-deserving small businesses.To view the winning ads as they are showcased in the heart of New York City, visit us at www.dell.com/timessquare TODAY, July 9, and TOMORROW, July 10. Here, you can access a LIVE Times Square webcam as well as an interactive gallery of all winning small business ads.We hope the exposure will bring these businesses one step closer to achieving their goals. We also hope it shows you we truly believe in the potential of small business.Sincerely, Dell Small Business

ADDRESS:
NY Designs – FLG New Office – at Laguardia College
45-50 30th Street, 7th Floor, Long Island City, NY 11101 US

DIRECTIONS:
NY Designs is in the back of Laguardia College Building C, a large white warehouse building with a huge red sign on top that says IDCNY.

Via 7 Train:
Get off at 45th Road / Court Square. Walk towards the Citibank skyscraper building (the only skyscraper in the neighborhood). In front of Citibank, turn right onto the Courthouse plaza leading to Thomson Ave, and walk on the left side of “Arris Lofts” building (Citibank tower will be behind you) and go across the Thomson Avenue Bridge over the railroad tracks until you get to the corner of 30th street and Thomson Ave. Make a right on 30th street and walk under the scaffolding towards 47th Ave. You will find our door on the right side of the street.

When you’re at the NY Designs door, please press ‘Call’ then ‘14′ so we can buzz you in. Take the gigantic freight elevator to 7th floor. We will be in the lounge, to the left of the reception area, all the way in the back.

Please read the direction in advance, so that you can get here – LIC is a bit different from Manhattan, and you need to know the direction to get here.

DRIVING DIRECTIONS AND USING INTERNET MAPS:
From Manhattan – Take the 59th Street Bridge to Queens Blvd. Turn Right on Van Dam, then Right again on Thomson. Let me off on the far left corner of 30th Street and Thomson.

For Google, Yahoo, or Mapquest maps, you MUST use this address instead of our office address:
31-10 Thomson Avenue
Long Island City, NY 11101

There is a parking lot across the street. Parking on the street is not recommended.

You can also print a map here.

Omar Ovalle Featured in El Diario Article

Omar Ovalle was featured in an article (in Spanish) on El Diario.

The gist of the article (for those of us who no comprende Espanol) is that he talks about the process of starting a company and how FLG got the loan from the Small Business Administration. It’s not easy, but anyone can do it if you try!
