Update from Houston Obama Adventure -- My On-Line Column For AsianWeek

  This very long day is coming to an end. It began with a mad dash to the Baltimore/Washington airport. It ends at a Sheraton hotel in Houston, Texas. In between, Annabel and I have been to an Obama headquarters for a meeting with Asian Pacific American outreach coordinator Anuj Gupta, canvassed in a neighborhood that seemd to be already solidly for Obama (but our work did do some good, since many of them didn't know where they were supposed to vote/caucus). Then we went to a really fun night of sushi and saki with some new friends whom we'd met on-line -- locals who are supporting Obama, as well as an old friend from Washington DC who is now living here in Houston. Tomorrow will be a busy day split between Asian American outreach, Latino outreach, and the second half of the door-knocking list we started last night. Another old friend, Quan Phung, a former television executive at Fox, just arrived having flown in from Los Angeles. Andres Useche, who sings the "Si Se Puede Cambiar" song (see entries below), arrives in the morning.

Meanwhile, Annabel and I are now publishing an on-line column together called Through Our Lens for AsianWeek. i will continue to blog here as well.
