Most excellentness of Arts Events - APA style in SF
If you bitches haven’t been out checking out the amazingness of good stuff put out by KearnyStreet, then the time is nigh.
2 Lucious days left of goodness.
Tomorrow night’s closing gala will be co-mc’ed by Glenda and Me. It’s a nice return to Apature. 5 years ago, I was one of the first folks to read during their Literary showcase. It was my very first time reading in public. I got to know Annie Koh and my roommate Jane Kim so much better through that event. And I got to make great friends with lots of other people through the stellar event.

Berkeley’s Theater Rice, and APAture’s featured music group Asian Crisis, whose sound is inspired by the diverse musical traditions of Asia, including China, India, Korea, the Philippines, as well as American musical forms such as jazz and R&B, resulting in a fresh take on Asian American music.
