Excited
I swear I did not win the 8Asians Arts Stimulus Package. We don’t rig contests here. We should, but we don’t (mostly to protect our family honor and other Asian things like that.) Nonetheless, Jozjozjoz and I ventured out to see the 18 Mighty Mountain Warriors latest comedy sketch show, Bow Down To Your Asian Masters, before their final weekend run.
And I’m a bad Asian; I’ve heard of the 18MWW before, and this was my very first show. It didn’t help that it was a tough crowd on a Thursday night, but the comedic talents of Greg Watanabe (my fave!), Peter J. Wong, and Michael Chih Ming Hornbuckle still shone through on the tiny Complex stage. Despite the show title, the sketches weren’t limited to cracks on being Asian American sketches; instead we laughed over zombie attacks, cracks on pop culture and vegetarianism. (Yes, Greg Watanabe does a great Dick Cheney impression.)
The show’s run ends this Sunday, August 23rd in Los Angeles and their weekend engagements are almost sold out. So if you’re free this weekend, definitely check them out!

Has anyone else noticed that the shot of the white people running away at the bottom of the photoshopped image is actually taken from a 9/11 still?
That's.. kinda... awkward...
