photos from January’s Sulu Series
Last weekend’s Sulu Series was exactly what I needed. Through all this hustle and bustle, it felt good to finally be in a nurturing creative space, and back on stage again! Hostess with the mostess with all the people I know and love. (Check out more information on Sulu Series and the APIA art community HERE)
Here’s some photos from the evening!
Comedian Sheng Weng from the Bay Area talking about dropping the kids off at the skate park, eating pomegranates, and his bum “applauding”. Oh dear. I was giggling with glee the whole time though. Teehee. No wonder he’s been featured on Comedy Central.
Singer/Songwriter Cynthia Lin performed a special set in dedication to Haiti. She made my heart warm despite the brrrrr of winter.
Lookie my girl Sahra Nguyen, aka NASH, go! Boston reppin to the fullest: Poet, visual artist, and armed with a new talent of graphic design, what??! Like her mama, she’s a gangsta. Buy her chapbook and read about her here.
So I really need you guys to check out The Kitchen Cabinet, “the most punk non punk folk band in this town”. The lead singer has a charming voice, and I swear you’ll be disarmed by their enchantment. Listen now!
Last but not least is sweetheart Maya Hatch, whose music I’ve been obsessed with since November when I was introduced to her songs via her myspace page. I was instantly addicted. She tours Japan again in two weeks, so if you’re in the Eastern Hemisphere…look for her in a jazz club near you!

Sidenote: Sulu Series is held at the Bowery Poetry Club, which by the way, has a brand new cafe that I adore: “Celebrate” cafe, run by the Lower East Side Girls Club, provides an empowering space for young women to develop themselves personally, professionally, and creatively in a healthy way. Their treats are handmade and delicious, and proceeds go to the supporting the organization. I’m sooo bout it. Learn more about the Girls Club here.
