I could go on and on about the great community work that they all do. But what you really need to know is that it's a super fun time. You'll laugh and cheer and feel inspired, all at the same time. Talent! Interviews! Some serious stereotype-smashing! Did I mention that there's a catwalk? It's a "parade of hotness," as Disgrasian says.

So, we hope to see you tomorrow night in Oakland. Buy your tickets online in advance. (It's $5 cheaper than tickets at the door and we know the Asian in you can't pass up a chance to save moolah.) Buy your tickets by 10 pm tonight -- that's when advance ticket sales end.

Then come root for your favorite Asian American do-gooder. It's a good time -- for many good causes.
