Hey, self promotion time! I'll be speaking at a panel this Thursday at Third Thursdays—the monthly dinner series about Asian American community issues.
The title of the program is "The Asians are Coming" (which comes from a Beau Sia poem) and is about Asian American media in the internet age. Here's a brief description:
Bloggers and artists can now create content online on their own terms—in a cheap, easy, and unprecedented fashion. But are the same online trends also responsible for the steady decline of traditional media?
Robynn Takayama, an independent radio producer and Donald Young from the Center for Asian American Media will also be on the panel with me.
The great thing about Third Thursdays is that there's food involved. You listen to the speakers, then break up into discussion groups over dinner, then reconvene at the end.
Here're the details:
Thursday, January 19, 2006
7:00-9:30pm
Japanese Cultural & Community Center
1840 Sutter Street
San Francisco, CA 94115
$5 to $20 suggested donation, depending on type of meal
