hastert needs to go down...but it won't matter, we only need 15 seats in the house to turn it around--and it'll happen. of course, they've completely politicized the whole hussein trial so that his sentence will be announced 2 days before the election, but whatever. i still think we'll take the house.
Election Countdown: 20 days.
chicago's first snow, right outside my door.
m'boy jeff chan at the opening night of the asian american jazz festival. in another life i work with young adults with disabilities and jeff agreed to do a special performance just for them this thursday--woohoo! the korean girl doing the drums is dohee. i've always heard she was good, but seeing her play is like watching a miracle happen.
the chicago korean music ensemble. it was a bit unfair that they played right after jeff and dohee performed, but they were still good. at one point they played the korean anthem "arirang" on a bamboo flute and i could barely hold it in. i never grew up with korean music but it still resonates with me on a profound level. it must be the han.
