In I've Journal on 15 March 2006 tagged agendacide, fray, fray cafe, immigration, lappop, littleyellowdifferent, nicole lee, sxsw, sxsw2006, sxswi with no comments

Min Jung convinced me to partake in her upcoming Lap-Pop event. It’s supposed to be a convergence of Asian Americans and geekery, hosted by Locus Arts. The idea is to get some Asian American bloggers/photologgers to share their writing, art, photography and/or music. The first one was excellent and featured readings from Ernie, Glenda and [...]

One of Those Days

In Road Warrior on 5 July 2005 tagged immigration with 2 comments

I’ve often said that my best anecdotes are provided by the INS. I alsmot feel I should have a category for those anecdotes to collect them all together. Then publish a mini-compendium.

It’s All Greek to Me

In Road Warrior on 2 June 2003 tagged greece, immigration with no comments

Tomorrow, I am bound for a week on the beaches of Paros, an island in Greece followed by a couple of days in Athens. The weather here in London has actually been pretty great this weekend if a bit humid. We got all our papers signed for the apartment and moved everything in today (except [...]

5 Airports in 16 hours

I’m procrasinating from working on my portfolio (a to-do item I’ve had for months now).

Instead, I will regale you with my adventures in travelling from London to Austin. The short version is that it was a nightmare that required all of my roadwarrior guile to get me back to Austin at the scheduled time. The [...]
