Hit it!
This ain’t no disco
It ain’t no country club either
This is LA!
–Sheryl Crow from “All I Wanna Do“
The funny video above has been getting around the AA blogosphere. I think Alpha broke the news first, and then everyone started posting. Anyway, the most recent blog to link it is 8Asians, where John also provides linkage to the two actors in the video, Grace Su and Danny Cho.
If you have time, check out Grace and Danny’s blogs. I’m amazed at some of the things going down in Los Angeles. I always thought of San Francisco as the most active city for Asian American culture, and it probably is to a large degree–they’ve got the population and the politics, and I think most Asian American authors have either lived there or passed through at some point in their lives. Of course, New York is also strong because of the publishing industry.
But LA has got the Hollywood thing going. Check out those two blogs above, especially Grace Su’s blog. Almost all the Asian American people interested in video and sound imagery are in LA, and from the blog, it seems that they’re networking like crazy. This, of course, makes sense since it’s so close to Hollywood, but man, I didn’t realize how much is going on in the LA scene. Wong Fu Productions is there, as is Kaba Modern, as is Angry Asian Man, as are all the boys from Better Luck Tomorrow, etc., etc., etc. If you want to be seen, it seems like that’s the place to do it.
