KOLLABORATION 10
All I have to say is that I can’t believe I’m missing this!!! It’s gonna be PK’s last year hosting… there are A LOT of people going… and of course, the talent! OMG, THE TALENT.
Very excited for Asians and Asian Americans in entertainment… God is on it. Trust.
Btw, if you’re wondering about my New Year’s resolution about blogging daily… well… obviously, that hasn’t been happening. I have very inconsistent Internet access here in Asia (been traveling a lot more than I planned and I don’t have a laptop). Anyway, I will seriously blog about some of the things that I’ve experienced here when I have more time :]

1040
The world premiere is going down on March 12, 2010 at opening night of the City of the Angels Film Festival: http://1040movie.com/1040-world-premiere
I thought I was gonna be back for the premiere, but it seems that I’m in the process of my own 1040 adventure! For now, I’ll just say that God has been so good… He’s totally moving in Asia… and I can’t wait to share “1040 Part 2 Grace Su Edition” with y’all. Haha.
Anyway, here’s the teaser for 1040:
I hope those of you who watch it will get something out of it, whether you’re Christian or not! Be Blessed :]

This Thursday… 3-in-1!
That is, three events in one night! If you’re in LA, these are the events to be at:
Ktown Cowboys Fundraiser at Cafe Bleu
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=423538320626
This is a fundraiser for a fun webisodic/film project I had a small role in. If you guys go, you’ll get a sneak peek at the first episode. Should be good! Lots of talented people involved and they can definitely use the support to finish the project!
Open Mic hosted by Aiko Tanaka at Tribal Cafe
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=259642238567
I just saw Aiko kill it at the Comedy Store last week. She’ll be hosting these open mics once a month… so if you’re a stage performer of any sort, get your butt over there! Or if you just enjoy live performance, be sure to check this out.
Eliot Chang’s FREE Show at the Laugh Factory
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=291621911423
Comedy shows are usually pretty expensive when you add everything together: parking/valet, admission, 2 drink minimum, etc… but you can get into this one for FREE and Eliot is freakin’ hilarious. Have you seen him throw imaginary babies across the room? Oh man…
If I weren’t on a plane to Taiwan, I’d totally hit up every single event!

JMD… Hawaiian Reggae & Blues
For someone who used to be the know-it-all of Asian Americans in music… well, I’m def not on top of it anymore. -_-
So I was sent a Facebook evite from ukulele rock star Jason Arimoto and I decided to take a look (often times I skip over evites). Well, I got confused, cuz’ I thought it’d be an evite for a show of Jason’s, but I didn’t see his name anywhere on the evite and I had no clue what “JMD” was ’til I Googled. Turns out JMD is Jason’s band. According to their Myspace, their genre of music is Reggae / Blues / Hawaiian or “ukulele, drums & bass together live & in your face.” So I took a listen and liked what I heard. Sounds fun! I think I might check out their show tomorrow: **SHOW THIS THURSDAY**JMD, NATURAL NATIVES & GUESTS

Asians (plus, “Jin-Soo Kwon”) at the Emmys
I’m not one to follow things like the Emmys… but after seeing a friend tweet about dressing Blake Lively and January Jones, I had to see my friend’s handiwork. Thus, I browsed through red carpet images from the night and found, to my delight, a handful of Asian Am stars struttin’ it!
Pictured: Jeannie Mai (I heart her), Mindy Kaling, Rex Lee w/ the entourage, Lindsay Price, and Sandra Oh.
While perusing, I also stumbled upon this:
What the…either LOST is real or the caption writer totally had a brain fart. Tsk tsk.
Oh, and btw, Blake Lively and January Jones looked lovely! (Great job, Chris!)
