Our annual fundraiser, Mr. Hyphen, is tomorrow night. Have you gotten your tickets yet?
For those of you who have never been to a Mr. Hyphen competition, how can I explain it to you? Well, it honors Asian American men who are doing good work in the community, from empowering youth to making sure our voices are heard in the media. Each contestant represents a nonprofit org.

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.
