In Pictures: Sounds Of Justice, Live Band, And Tou SaiKo Lee

Tuesday, June 14, 2011



I got invited to this event called Sounds Of Justice and happened to get a picture of the group who was performing with local community activist and organizer Tou Saiko Lee - and let me just say for the record - they laid down some great music for the event.

If you're wondering who the above good looking men are - because you think you might want to date one of them - wonder no more:

From left to right: Tsitsy (Keys), Shawn (Drums), Tieng (Bass - who also owns a restaurant that the band practices at), and Tou SaiKo Lee (vocals).

Not pictured here, but who also played a song with Tou SaiKo Lee - was Hmong singer PK - and if you get a chance - definitely check her out because she was pretty live.

45th Anniversary: East West Players, Harry Shum Jr., Tamlyn Tomita (And I Guess I Have To Mention James Kyson Lee Too...)

Tuesday, April 26, 2011

Even though I can't stand the all too perfect sexier than thou JKL (which is realy just jealousy) who'll be co-emceeing the event with Tamlyn Tomita I have to admit - this sounds like a pretty damn good time for a pretty damn good cause....even if you have to look at the so un-just in this world gorgeous body of James Kyson Lee all night long (see - I can use his full name if I want too).

East West Players (EWP), the nation’s premier Asian American theatre, celebrates its 45th Anniversary with its glamorous Visionary Awards Dinner & Silent Auction, and salutes those who have raised the visibility of the Asian Pacific American (APA) community through their artistic excellence and support of the Asian Pacific American performing arts. The acclaimed fundraising event will take place at the Hilton Universal City on Monday, May 2, 2011. Proceeds from the gala will benefit East West Players’ educational and artistic programs.

Harry Shum Jr. can currently be seen as one of the stars of the mega hit series of the fall 2009 season, “Glee”. Winner of both Golden Globe and SAG Awards in 2010 and 2011, the show is created and produced by Ryan Murphy (Nip/Tuck). Harry plays “Mike Chang”, a football player with dancing abilities that ends up joining the Glee Club despite the fact that it is social suicide. In addition to his acting, Harry is starring in and associate producer/co-choreographer of The LXD (Legion of Extraordinary Dancers) – an online dance adventure created by director Jon M. Chu (STEP UP 3D). The Breakout Performance award recognizes someone who, through an outstanding performance that year, has made a huge impact on the visibility of the Asian Pacific American community. This year’s honorees include previously announced Michael Hagiwara and Bank of America.

James Kyson Lee (Mortal Kombat, Hawaii Five-O, Heroes) will be joining Tamlyn Tomita (The Joy Luck Club, Karate Kid Part II) in co-emceeing the event.
Performers include Joan Almedilla (Miss Saigon, Les Miserables), Laurie Cadevida (Miss Saigon, Aida, The Pajama Game), The Three Filipino Tenors (Antoine Reynaldo Diel, Randy Guiaya, Lito Villareal), Nathan Wang and the 45th Anniversary Orchestra, and more to be announced.

Presenters include Dante Basco (Take the Lead, The Debut, Hook), Karin Anna Cheung (The People I Slept With, Better Luck Tomorrow), John Cho (Harold and Kumar, Star Trek, Flash Forward), Rodney Kageyama (Gung Ho, The Next Karate Kid), George Takei (Star Trek, Heroes) Aaron Takahashi (Mr. Sunshine, Yes Man) and more to be announced.
“We are excited and proud to recognize these honorees and showcase performers and presenters on the East West Players stage,” says EWP Producing Artistic Director Tim Dang. “The 45th Anniversary is a special year for East West Players celebrating a milestone in the Asian American arts community.”

Current major sponsors include: PLATINUM CIRCLE: CBS Corporation, Comcast NBCUniversal, Mattel, Inc., The Walt Disney Company; GOLD CIRCLE: Bank of America, The Thomas R. Bancroft Family, Wells Fargo. Our VIP Reception is sponsored by Comcast NBCUniversal.

East West Players’ 45th Anniversary Visionary Awards Dinner and Silent Auction will be held on Monday, May 2, 2011 at the Hilton Universal City, 555 Universal Hollywood Drive, Universal City, CA 91608. The no-host reception and silent auction will start at 6pm. The dinner and awards program will start at 7pm. Tickets are $175 - $1,250. Full table sponsorship packages are also available.

Big APA Bash, Kollaboration Seattle, And A Little Verizon

Monday, April 25, 2011



I didn't have time to post up on the Kollaboration Atlantic Times Square event before I got the info (more acts TBD and I'll let you know when I know - seriously...this time I will) - but my goodness people - when you have events all the time because you're just doing that much APA goodness - well...I can only keep up with so much (but that's just an excuse for me being lazy).

I digress.

It's Racist Grandma Time!

Wednesday, April 20, 2011



Sure - she may kind of, sort of, in some way maybe resemble someone who could possibly bake you some cookies (even though they might be laced with arsenic) - but really - she's just a racist White Lady.


Marilyn Davenport, the Fullerton grandmother and Republican official who gained national notoriety on April 15 after distributing a racist email image of President Barack Obama as a chimpanzee, has agreed to appear live Wednesday on California's powerhouse talk radio network.

The deal was set today, according to Tim Whitacre, a Santa Ana Republican activist and former U.S. Marine who is advising and supporting Davenport while Orange County Republican Party Chairman Scott Baugh, the man who defeated Whitacre for the party's top slot earlier this year, is calling on Davenport to resign over the scandal.

"Given the unfair light in which Marilyn has been portrayed by some opportunistic local Republican leaders, it is important for the public to hear straight from her," Whitacre said. "She has been falsely accused of being a racist."
Really?

Falsely accused?

When you send things like this in an e-mail I'm thinking I really won't touch those cookies after all.

Lee Ufan + Guggenheim

Tuesday, March 22, 2011



I got invited out to the Guggenheim later this month and while I'm still thinking about going, while you might not be able to attend the press event, you can still think about your schedule this summer (because even though spring just got here we can't help thinking about those hot days that afterwards).

Lee Ufan: Marking Infinity
June 24–September 28, 2011
This exhibition is made possible with lead sponsorship from Samsung.

Lee Ufan: Marking Infinity is the first North American museum retrospective devoted to artist, philosopher, and poet Lee Ufan, who has been active in Korea, Japan, and Europe over the last forty years. The exhibition charts the artist’s creation of a visual, conceptual, and theoretical language that has radicalized and expanded the possibilities for sculpture and painting. Lee is acclaimed for an innovative body of work that emphasizes process, materials, and the experiential engagement of viewer and site. The exhibition features some ninety works from the 1960s to the present—including a new site-specific installation—and will be installed throughout the museum, beginning with the rotunda floor and extending up the six ramps of the building and into two Annex galleries. The selection of paintings, works on paper, sculpture, and installations includes Lee’s most iconic works, many presented in America for the first time.

Lee Ufan was born in Korea in 1936. He earned a degree in philosophy from Nihon University, Tokyo, and has from the earliest stages of his work been critically engaged with the writings of Martin Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Michel Foucault, and Nishida Kitaro. In the late 1960s, Lee came to international prominence as the visionary theorist and most representative practitioner of the influential Japanese art movement Mono-ha (School of Things), applying the theories of structuralism and phenomenology to construct a model of otherness that was highly critical of modernism and in dialogue with international Post-Minimalist practices.

Lee Ufan: Marking Infinity is organized by Alexandra Munroe, Samsung Senior Curator of Asian Art at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Sandhini Poddar, Assistant Curator of Asian Art, and Nancy Lim, Asian Art Curatorial Fellow, provided curatorial support. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue.

Maxine Hong Kingston + The Asian American Writers' Workshop

From the AAWW:

Maxine Hong Kingston:
A Lunar New Year Benefit for the 20th Anniversary of the Workshop

Tuesday, February 1, 2011
6-10 PM

We're proud to kick off the Asian American Writers' Workshop's twentieth anniversary and ring in the Lunar New Year by featuring Maxine Hong Kingston's ambitious new memoir in verse, I Love a Broad Margin to My Life. In Margin, Kingston has built a poem animated by a soul large enough to take in the full vista of life: age and mortality; wonderful friends and loved ones, both alive and passed away; and journeys through China and America and through the languages of Hawaiian pidgin, Cantonese, and Thoreau and Whitman.

Winner of our first Asian American Lifetime Achievement Award, Kingston will read and answer questions at one of the finest Chinese art galleries in Chelsea. Prior to the reading, guests for our cocktail reception will be able to sip a signature cocktail custom-mixed in her honor and snap a photo with her in our photo booth. And after the reading, we'll be holding an intimate dinner in her honor—seating will be limited, so please reserve your seat today. Help us celebrate the Year of the Rabbit and our own birthday with one of the central writers of American letters.
