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!

Does this look familiar?

Looks like a behind-the-scenes photo of Kim Jong Il Eharmony… but is it?

Some Drama Fo’ Yo Mama!

First of all, I’m still in Taiwan (wait, did I even mention before that I was gonna be in Asia for 3 weeks? haha). Well, anyway, I’ve been outta the loop this whole time cuz’ I haven’t had time or haven’t had Internet connection for the majority of my trip.

So right now, I have a lil’ chill time and I’ve been doing some catching up with emails and Facebook… and OMG… the entries for KoreAm’s “Drama Fo’ Yo Mama” contest are hilarious! I haven’t even been able to watch them all yet (mostly cuz’ my Internet connection at my grandma’s is sooo slow)… but so far the ones I’ve seen are pretty awesome. “Gochu” is freakin’ hilarious (and pretty gross, too). It’s well casted with Jun Kim, David Lee Kane (formerly David Lee McGinnis), and the very funny Shane Yoon. It’s also up there in terms of production quality. “Summer Sonata” is great with Randall Park, Vivian Bang, and Hahn Cho. I love the dialogue vs. the subtitles. And I pretty much love everything Randall Park does (video posted below). “Phones Before Flowers”… OMG, PK… that hair and the freakin’ “Verizon”~ haha! The moment between Janet Choi and Roy Choi… CUTE. Puahaha (inside scoop: the two are married in real life). Then there’s freakin’ Charles Kim in the “Omma Dearest” series. LOL. Lovin’ it. I especially loved the argument in part 2 between “Omma” and Lanny Joon’s character. And then part 3?! Haha, omg.

Now I’m kinda bummed I wasn’t around to partake in the contest, but all good. After watching some Taiwanese dramas over here (the ones in Taiwanese not Mandarin)… I’m almost tempted to make a spoof of one of those. The acting is sooo sooo overdramatic (at least from what I’ve seen) and I’ve never heard Taiwanese spoken the way it’s spoken in these dramas… I’d need to learn some Taiwanese first though, haha.

Anyway, you can check out all the entries here and vote for your fave!
