8 Asians


Having served spent some time in the South Bay, people would know that Campbell, California is a sleepy suburb of already sleepy metropolitan San Jose, California. Not much happens in Campbell — wasn’t someone from Sugar Ray from there? — but this is something interesting: SFist is reporting that 26 year old vice-mayor Evan Low is “expected to be selected by the city council to serve as mayor.” Not only would this make him the youngest Asian-American mayor in the United States, but it would make him the youngest openly gay mayor in the United States. Better be careful not to hit on the wrong guy at Tinker’s Damn; your garbage may never be picked up again.

What next?

  • Even though the post came out cattier than planned, let me say that I think this is pretty awesome. And that I feel like I haven't done anything in life at the ripe age of 33.
  • Actually, Campbell has quite the underground for non-mainstream.

    Lars Fredericksen, the guitarist from Rancid, is from Campbell. So are most of the guys in the Forgotten, so Campbell is actually quite famous along with Berkeley & SF for the NorCal punk scene.

    (Who knew...)

    Now to file under, Way Too Much Info: Lars' solo band has a song called "Campbell, CA" : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGBBak-MWXk
  • That's awesome! Considering that he wasn't even going to come out before because he was afraid it would damage his political career, this is great news.
