Late Breaking News

I’ll be reading at the Asian American Writers’ Workshop this Sunday, in honor of Lunar New Year.*

There’ll be dumplings and noodles and rice cakes and readings. It’s free-form and casual. So if you want to read something, DO VIT. DO VIT NOW!

I’ll be reading around 9:25.

AAWW is located conveniently in Midtown West.
16 West 32nd Street, Suite 10A

Right near K-town!** Holy crap! It’s your lucky day. You can eat Korean food and then listen to a Korean (American).

But, wait! How do we get there?

N, R, Q, W, F, B, D, V trains to 34th Street/Herald Square
4, 5, 6 trains to 33rd Street
1, 2, 3, 9 trains to 34th Street

*Lunar New Year is the same as Chinese New Year but, like, it’s not just New Year in China. The Sea of Japan is also bullshit. Why do they get their own sea? We don’t call it American Ocean. Though we should just to piss the Canadians off.

**People always ask me where to eat in K-town. The answer is not very clear because, for the most part, I find most of the food there kind of overpriced and not that good. But I have very high standards. Fine, I’m a total snob. You happy? I guess I like Cho Dang Gol, which is at 55 W 35th St (between 5th & 6th Ave). But I also found out recently they gave nonspicy food to white people, which is irritating. But whatever. Apparently white people are all adverse to FLAVOR. Also, please don’t go to that place with the waterfall. Everyone always goes there and it breaks my heart. It’s like why don’t I just poop on a plate and give it to you. At least it’d be free.

    We are just getting up now on the West Coast. Great info and directions Annie. Which exit off the 405 again? Really, I wish I could be there. Maybe not so much. Look, I’m no mind reader. I don’t like poo, but I do like free.

  2. Pedro:

    everytime Annie writes a new post, thousands of questions arise in my mind.

    What the hell Arnold has to do with the post? How can people vote him for governor?Why do I live in a country where I can’t vote for him? Would Arnold go to the waterfall restaurant just to piss Annie? Why ppl love restaurants with fountains and waterfalls if they just go there for eating? why don’t I have one of those?
    Are these two pics of the same guy?

    Annie, try BCD Tofu house. They have bibimbap and the tofu soups are to die for. They also give a lot of banchan. Enjoy.

  4. annie:

    Jon: Thanks. The exit off the 405 is, I suppose, Sepulveda, because that takes you to the airport.

    Pedro: Arnold has everything to do with everything. Duh.

    Bratty: There are tons of BCDs in L.A. too. But the one here is more expensive. WTF. I am into the BCD. I think Cho Dang Gol’s soon tofu is a little better, but BCD’s banchan is more plentiful. Six of one half dozen of the other, now I am in need of K food.
