Good cause comedy

I feel really good about doing standup when it goes towards a good cause. The Asian American Donor program targeted a donor registration drive for bone marrow donation with standup comics. They included me an Indian as an Asian. What a concept? We certainly ain't got the features, but we come from the same continent, share buddhist values, and are terrible donors.

The show was awesome -- it was exclusively asian crowd, mostly young filipinos settled in South San Francisco. They were an amazing audience, attentive and enjoying themselves. I am certain that the filipino community can now count on having several registered bone marrow donors. I hope it reaches other Asian communities as well.

One of the bone marrow donors, the winner of Survivor on TV, spoke about how Asians have not yet come together as a community that takes care of itself. He attributed it to still getting established and as such the focus stays on career and the self. It is time now to branch out and give back to the community dedicating our time, money, and when needed organs!

Viva Asians!!!!
