The Revolution Starts in the Kitchen

That's the tagline for "The Cooking Show con Karimi y Castro," starring Robert Karimi and John Castro.

They're in the Bay Area performing until May 18. I wanted to check out the show tonight, which sounds fascinating, fun and funny, but alas am home sick tonight.

If the name Robert Karimi sounds familiar, that's because we featured him in our latest issue -- he's the intense-looking guy donning a chef's hat and wielding a wooden spoon in one of the rotating photos on our homepage.

Everybody Loves the JabbaWockeeZ
I apologize for not posting as often as I'd like but I've been so busy with work and other pressing deadlines. 

Anyway, I'm still amazed at the fact that people just can't seem to get enough of the JabbaWockeeZ group.

What is this performance about? Great question.

Based on the stories of Laotian Refugees and their descendents

A mother lives in the darkness of a South Los Angeles apartment. An Army General struggles to forget a lost war. A son battles in the streets of urban America. "Refugee Nation" is about a young generation struggling to understand their history and the silence of an elder generation still healing from the traumas of the US waged Secret War in Laos during the Vietnam War era.

The Refugee Nation continues to grow. With the certainty of new refugee arrivals coming from the Middle East, what can we learn from the wounds of a war 30 years ago that are still yet to be healed?
