Chinese Historical Society of America

[Drunk Monk]

There was a VIP party at the museum for Jeff Chang’s new book Water Mirror Echo, a 500+ page take on Bruce Lee from the Asian American perspective. I was invited as a guest by the creativity director, Justin Hoover,  and got a shout out from stage from the panel for my work with KFTC. I was surprised to learn Jeff was a long time reader of my work. Adisa Banjoko, an old friend who ran the Hip Hop Chess Federation was also on the panel and we got to reconnect after not seeing each other since the pandemic. Also had a nice chat with the museum director, Walter Lim, and touch base with a Shaolin cousin Sheldon Call. There were dim sum pastries, three kinds of tea and chi drinks. Treated myself to some egg tarts. Yum.
