Happy Loving Day!


Loving Day is an annual celebration held on June 12, the anniversary of the 1967 United States Supreme Court decision Loving v. Virginia which struck down all anti-miscegenation laws remaining in sixteen U.S. states citing "There can be no doubt that restricting the freedom to marry solely because of racial classifications violates the central meaning of the equal protection clause."

Hey everyone, I was hoping you could help out some awesome Asian guys I know with the Awesome Asian Bad Guys project.

As a Asian American fan of film, I find myself often frustrated with how Asian characters, especially awesome Asian bad guys like these have such a small and/or brief rolls in movies. Which is why, I am supporting this project. I mean, just look at the title! You know it's going to be awesome, and have some Asians as leads.

So please support whatever you can. Check it out. And if you can, please spread it around to all of your friends. Let's use the power of social media to it's fullest and help these guys out.

"Awesome Asian Bad Guys is a 5-episode action comedy web series that’s a cross between The Expendables and Dumb & Dumber."

"The story follows two filmmakers who rush to assemble a volatile group of Asian bad guy actors to take down LA’s most nefarious mobster."

An action/comedy series about two offbeat filmmakers, a volatile group of Asian bad guys & one impossible mission.

I'm working to try and schedule a SoCal Hapa Meet Up. If you know other Hapas in SoCal that might be interested, direct them to the Doodle so we can try and plan a day that will work best for everyone!

Fill out the doodle to see what Friday, Saturday, or Sunday during September works best for the majority of people :)
