Hyphen Party Tonight!

April 27, 2007

Here are the details:

Faith Issue Release Party! DJs will be spinning everything from soulful hip hop to dancefloor classics. Taking place TONIGHT, Friday, April 27th, 10pm-2am at Poleng Lounge (1751 Fulton St, San Francisco)

Cost is $10, or $20, which gets you a 4-issue subscription too. (That's 50% off list price!).

Remember, all the money we get at the door goes towards the print-run costs of the next issue. So, you can help us keep publishing by partying. Not bad, eh?

And now something for you New Yorkers: West 32nd, directed by Michael Kang, has its world premiere this weekend at the Tribeca Film Festival. It's a gritty, gangster flick in which John Cho (Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle) plays an attorney investigating a homicide case in the New York City Korean underworld. It also stars Grace Park of the Sci-Fi Channel television show Battlestar Galactica.

First screening is tomorrow night at 7:30 at the AMC 34th Street Theater 13. Better get your tickets pronto. More info here on other screenings. I've been keeping an eye on Kang since I first saw a great little short he made called A Waiter Tomorrow, which borrows the stylings of John Woo to smash some Asian stereotypes. If his name sounds familiar, he also directed The Motel. (P.S. We've got an interview with Kang in the works, coming out in the summer issue of Hyphen.)
