Two dates were made official this evening.
1) YJ and I will be getting married on September 8 in beautiful dowtown Tianjin. Clear your calendars. Alert the media.
2) The Roots will be playing in Beijing on April 17th and we’re going to the show. My buddy Mike J. called me at 4:34 pm to get the go ahead on VIP tickets. It was a “blink” type moment. I said yes and then made the “Your initial reaction will probably be to get mad but hear me out anyway…” call. It was all good and it’s going to be a kick-ass show.
On a related note, I actually won the that’s Beijing trivia challenge for last week and as a result they’re hooking us up for free tickets to the Yen White party hosted by 02culture on Friday night. Those of you who have seen my “going out” clothes perhaps know my dilemma. (I’m a basic black kind of guy.) But I think I can throw together an ensemble to make it to the party–or at least that would fit in at a Miami Heat game. Further plans include checking out Kaiser Kuo and his band Chunqiu tomorrow night at
