went to the asia society tonight to see undesirable elements, a theater project presenting the histories of a diverse group of asian americans artists, performers and activists.  i was, i admit, surprisingly moved and — dare i say it? — inspired by these peoples' stories.  i know, sounds corny — but i walked in with a bias against "asian american theater" (i have issues with that term) and am now reconsidering my attitude.

big congrats to my friend sara (not pictured) who co-wrote and co-directed this piece.  awesome job!
