Hopefully you're reading this entry in a cool, air conditioned area, free from this heat and humidity we've been facing that last few days. No worries though, as according to the weather channel, it's cooling off a little by mid week - whew!
With that said, you're probably wondering what the entry title means. This past weekend, I had the great honor and opportunity to photograph, take part and perform in the Artists At Play fundraiser at club Fais Do-Do. Artists at Play is a newly formed theater group that will be mounting its first production later this fall in November, entitled "Ching Chong Chinaman". Led by producers Marie-Reine Velez, Stefanie Wong Lau, Julia Cho, and Peter Kuo (the same Peter who directed us in "SFANW" in 2009).
This awesome group of producers and actors put on a heck of an event filled with great talents, food, camaraderie, and entertainment! Great times indeed! One of the more unique and cool things at the event was a Rock, Paper, Scissors tourney - yup! How awesome is that?! Low and behold, somehow or another, yours truly, moi, made it all the way to the finals! (What the?!) Losing after a 1-1 tie to my friend Scott for a set of tickets to Universal Studios, tickets to AAP's upcoming production, and get this, a "Wrestling World Championship" belt! Man! I've always wanted one of those! Nevertheless, kudos goes out to everyone who participated, supported, and attended the event. AAP is a great group, and I really wish them much success in all their endeavors. Go check them out! Now, on with the visuals, shall we?!

The founding FAB-four (L-R) Peter, Stefanie, Julia, Marie-Reine
Scott, eventual RPS champion. It should've been me!
Broadway songstress, and one of the evening'sperformers, Joan Almadilla
(My favorite photo of the night)
MC of the evening and TV commercial regular, Aaron Takahashi looking dapper standing on Adams Blvd.
My talented and beautiful girlfriend Helen, also performed (along with me too!)
Our friend and performer Traci Kato-Kiriyama reciting one of her signature poems;
I love how when she performs, she uses her entire body right down to her finger tips.
Another shot of Joan A. She once performed as "Kim" on Broadway in "Miss Saigon". Cool huh?
Prince Gomovillas. If you have ever seen "Walking for Kisses", he's the human behind it.
Plus Prince is an equally talented performer as well! Not just the owner of a cool cat named Porkchop.
