Grassroots Day 6 - Tigers & Lychee Martinis

Day 6 on the road and we are experiencing the beginning signs of fatigue and delirium. Sung is starting to speak in strange, Asianish tongues, Julie is hugging us less, and my eyes are sprouting veins larger than my heart valves. But the great thing is is that we're having an amazing time visiting all these student and community groups!

Our grassroots journey today takes us to Princeton N.J. to meet the many AA students at one of America's finest Ivy Leages. We hopped the New Jersey transit (a rather crappier Amtrak) and spent a wonderful Saturday afternoon hanging out with the Princeton students. But the coolest part of our trip was getting to eat at an official Princeton eating club. All I can say is that I know now what a wealthy landowner must have felt in the 1700s, eating a fine meal on the porch of his colonial mansion overlooking his kingdom. The crazy thing is, Princeton students eat like this everyday. Life does not suck if you go to Princeton.

Go to Princeton and this is how you will eat everyday. though we had meat loaf and fried chicken, we were told that they had king crab legs a few nights earlier...

After dinner we said our goodbyes and headed back to NYC. We met up with Dustin Nguyen and his wife, Angela. They were both in town because Angela was receiving an award from the Christopher Reeve Foundation. The night was certainly nutty...too many people drinking too many of them lychee martinis. Good times. We shared a few laughs, had some Vietnamese food, and, to cap off the evening, watched Dustin & Anglea drift her chair on the NYC sidewalks. -Roger

You guys are really energetic! I know Princeton isn't that close from NYC. Try some massarge in China town. 30 min foot massarge will revitalize you all. :)

Roger, I am loving hearing about your adventures. The HAPA's MAMA may not be YOUR mama, but I will tell you anyway--get some sleep! I know you all believe in what you're doing and it's great, but remember, you are only human and you ALL need to get some rest. Zzzzzz.

Roger Fan is one of the industry’s most interesting and exciting young personalities, redefining the leading man aesthetic through a wide variety of projects as an actor, host, and motivational speaker. Rave reviews from international critics such as Roger Ebert, Richard Roper, Peter Travers, and Elvis Mitchell have pointed out that Roger is a “charismatic and fearless persona with a limitless future.” His film credits are impressive, including lead roles in IFC Film’s FINISHING THE GAME, Paramount’s BETTER LUCK TOMORROW, Disney’s ANNAPOLIS, and Touchstone’s CORKY ROMANO. Roger also co-wrote, co-produced, and adventure-hosted the surprise, Sundance comedic hit, THE QUEST FOR LENGTH. Most recently, Roger wrapped production on Judd Apatow’s DRILLBIT TAYLOR and Academy Award Winner, Jessica Yu’s PING PONG PLAYA (2007 Toronto International Film Festival). Roger’s progressive work in film has endeared him as a role model to many of America’s youth. He dedicates his free time spreading the message of self-empowerment and hope as a motivational speaker, inspiring nearly 100,000 young adults, in person, over the past 5 years. Roger has been honored with the “PACE-SETTER Award”, the “Multicultural Prisim Award”, an AXA nomination, and, most recently, the “Distinguished Moviemaker Mentor Award” by The Creative Coalition, alongside actors Joe Pantoliano, Lea Thompson, & Ione Skye. Roger has been spotlighted in numerous publications, including Premier & Vibe Magazine, and guest hosted on MTV Chi and the International Channel. He currently lives in Los Angeles.
