Just a reminder, Bay Area folks, that Michael Kang's The Motel opens tomorrow in San Francisco and Berkeley. And just to tie this into title of this post, let me mention that hottie Sung Kang is in this film, playing Sam, a hard-partying, womanizing rogue who visits the motel with a lady on his arm. (You may remember him as Han from Better Luck Tomorrow where he was likewise getting it on with the ladies.)
Also, this weekend:
Launch party for the Asian Men REDefined 2007 Calendar this Saturday. Proceeds from the calendar benefit Asian & Pacific Islander Wellness Center, a nonprofit HIV/AIDS service organization.
