Excited
Gil Asakawa of Nikkei View as well as visualizasian.com has a great report about BANANA, the Asian American blogger round-up at USC this weekend, and there’s not really much I can disagree with him with. Was this first-ever roundtable of Asian-Asian content publishers from around the country a little rough around the edges? Sure. But gauging from some of the intense and complex topics and questions in the Q&A panel, the dialogue is still necessary, and it needs to continue. Hey, dialogue, isn’t that what 8Asians is all about? And besides, it was a great opportunity to meet other bloggers — who knew Angry Asian Man was so handsome?

I mean, me and my wide circle of four friends demand it. If that helps add any motivation. Maybe it could help highlight the community, bring people together, blah blah. Really, I just need Survivor Blog or something similar back in my life.
Great job on Saturday btw.
Oooh, would there be a demand for it? I will totally do it if there's a demand for it.
@ernie What are the chances of an APA Survivor blog happening? Please?
