Excited
Why yes, this would be fellow 8Asians bloggers Joz and Jee, and here they are in a video promotion with Steve Nguyen to promote BANANA, the FIRST-EVER gathering and round-table discussion/panel of Asian American bloggers at the USC campus on November 21st. I’d go into more detail, but event creator Lac Su explains it all the more eloquently (he did write a book, after all):
BANANA, [is] where we will get into important discussions about the future of our voice, where it will lead to, and how we can come together to find common grounds and focused endeavors to voice our opinions about relevant issues affecting our community. Why? Because the time is a-changing. We rise.
Steve Nguyen, a television/film producer and head of the Los Angeles ChannelAPA.com division, will be there to co-host and capture the event on film to help promote our voices and to introduce the faces behind such blogs.
Unfortunately, Joz will be in Asia during the event, so attendees will have to put up with grumpy, cynical me traveling down from San Francisco to be one of three 8Asians representatives. Whether this event is an Asian love-fest or an all-out shouting match is anyone’s guess, and if you’re in the Los Angeles area, you’re more than welcome to attend and watch what happens.

Ernie invited me by email, and I'm not even a legit AA blogger. :p
I wish I could be there. I'll tell all my LAsians to attend.

Christine, our intent is to invite all of the 8Asians out to this event. I assumed that the information was passed along to everybody that was involved in 8Asians, including you! But with that having been said, we would love to have you attend the panel!

Dude, how come I was never invited!? ... I actually WROTE and was an editor for a mag called BANANA. I still have the magazines AND I'm free on the 21st!
Hrmph ... My name had better come up in the discussions unless someone wants to fly me in!
