Grassroots Day 9 - Clam Chowder & a Haunted Hotel

This morning we took a train from NYC to Boston to speak to the students in the New England region.  Lots of students from BU, Tufts, Harvard, MIT, etc. were in attendance.  But what I'm about to talk about is a bit spooky.  So if you're easily scared or frightened of supernatural tales, I suggest you stop reading now.  If not, read on to find out about our creepy ass night in Boston.

Grassroots Day 8 - Sleeping TV Interviews & Cuban Mojitos!

Early morning TV interviews are an interesting thing...especially when one does not get much sleep before them.  Things come out of your mouth, but you do not know what is really coming out of it.  Hopefully Sung & I said something intelligent since NTDTV viewership is beamed globally via satellite to over 1.3 bil...Read more

Today I went on a run with Sung.  I have run with Mr. Kang many times.  However, this is my first time running with him since he enrolled himself in some sort of clandestine, navy seal, black ops exercise program called Treadstone.  Now I am no run...Read more

Grassroots Day 5 - Politics and a Hip Hop Partay!

This morning I jumped on a train with Justin to go from Washington D.C. to NYC.  Prior to our departure, Justin and I had one of the best, home-made-tasting hamburgers in the world...and it was in the food court of the D.C. train station!  Go figure.

Upon arriving in NYC, we had barely enough time to drop off our stuff at Hells Kitchen when we had to head out to Queens to attend the Organization of Chinese Americans awards banquet.  When we popped out of the subway in Queens, I seriously had no idea w...Read more

Grassroots Day 6 - Tigers & Lychee Martinis

Day 6 on the road and we are experiencing the beginning signs of fatigue and delirium.  Sung is starting to speak in strange, Asianish tongues, Julie is hugging us less, and my eyes are sprouting veins larger than my heart valves.  But the great thing is is that we're having an amazing time visiting all these student and communi...Read more

Grassroots Day 4 - A Pot Belly in Washington D.C.

After only 3 hours of sleep Justin, Julie, Sung, and I caught an early morning train to Washington D.C.  We had to run like mad to catch our ride at NY Penn Station cause Sung and I refused to get out of our beds.

Grassroots Day 3 - It's Hot as Hells Kitchen in NYC!

Sung and I are dripping wet in this picture.  Not the day to wear wool blend Autumn in New York is supposed to be nice, cool, fall affair.  Unfortunately for Sung, Julie, Justin, and myself, we are experiencing the preliminary indicators of global warming in Manhattan.  It's HOT here in Hells Kitchen!
