Hyphen magazine - Asian American arts, culture, and politics

Broncos, are you ready for Hyphen?

Tonight, associate publisher Irene Kao will be making an appearance at the University of Florida to talk about her experience and lessons learned in the ethnic media business.

Purple Bubble, here I come!

University of Maryland, College Park, Hyphen's coming to you next Tuesday as part of our college tour!

Hyphen has partnered up with I.W. Group and McDonald’s in an effort to inform and empower campuses with its unique perspective on Asian American arts, culture and politics. With style, of course. Next Tuesday, I will be heading out to UMD (again) to mingle with the students. Can't believe it has been a year since I last saw you, but it's about time that I get my Pot Belly fill again.

Here's my tentative schedule:

Brace yourselves -- Hyphen is on its way to a college campus near you! Hyphen has partnered up with I.W. Group and McDonald’s in an effort to inform and empower campuses with its unique perspective on Asian American arts, culture, and politics. With style, of course. 

I have a confession to make. Alex Wong from "So You Think You Can Dance" season 7, if you're reading this, I am in love with you. Please propose to me. I am generally free all week, except for Tuesday and Wednesday when I have Hyphen meetings. 

WE'RE COMING TO THE EAST COAST! Friday, June 4. The Delancey. Featuring performances by Magnetic North & Taiyo Na featuring The Home:Word House Band, Heather Park, Conchita Campos, Cynthia Lin, Sidney Outlaw, and The Misnomers.

And by Hyphen, I mean me. Although I wish I could bring the rest of my Hyphen family with me!

It's Apolo Anton Ohno!

Seriously. What an awesome name. If I were to name my kid Apolo, he better live up to it, like this Apolo.

 

The end of the commercial is a little gross, but that's where DayQuil and NyQuil come in I suppose.

It looks like he'll be competing in the Vancouver 2010 Olympics short-track speed skating competition at Pacific Coliseum. The events will be held between February 13th and 26th, 2010. Break a leg, Apolo, and bring home the gold!

Meant to put this up a while back. Look what I found! As someone who started wearing glasses before the tender age of nine, I find this advertisement pretty endearing. I think it goes without saying that there is definitely a much higher demand for glasses in East Asian countries, and with the increase of immigrants from those countries, I wonder if LensCrafters is trying to tap into that Asian/Asian American market. Or maybe they just can't tell the difference between Asians and Asian Americans and think that both have terrible eyesight.
