FINISHING THE GAME Crew in front of the IFC CENTER THEATER!
OCTOBER 5th is Finally Here! Much like a birth of a child (not that I would know), today is the First Day our movie Squirts out Into Theaters! Lucky for us, our Theatrical Release started in NEW YORK CITY. It was CRAZY! After 12 days of our grassroots tour, it was awesome to see so many students and organizations that we met on our travels hanging in line for FTG! The front of the IFC Center Theater was a MAD HOUSE. And the amazing thing was that ALL OF OUR EVENING SHOWS WERE SOLD OUT! Thank you Cindy & Chung & B of A & Accenture for buying out a screening. We also want to shout out to Princeton, Columbia, NYU, BU, Hunter, Georgetown, Rutgers and all the other schools that came to Represent Friday night! The whole FTG gang will be at the theaters tonight, Saturday, just to hang out, do some Q&A, and chill. So swing on down to IFC Center. We'll be there!
The front of the Theater was a MAD HOUSE!
This is just one of the lines for FTG on Friday night. Crazy!
Elena & Jeremy. They drove 13 hours from Cincinnati, Ohio to attend our Opening Night! Amazing! : )
These were the first 4 people to see FINISHING THE GAME at the 11 am, Friday screening! They were sooo surprised to see Sung there to thank them for coming.
Come join us tonight, Saturday, Oct 6th at IFC Center. The FTG crew will all be there!

Day 10 of our Grassroots trip must be dedicated to our boy Calvin Sun & Columbia University. Man, Calvin & Co...you guys brought it! Thanks so much for such an amazing turnout and reception. Being on the road for almost 2 weeks, it was great to get to spend time with and hang out with such an amazing group of students. Thank you Calvin & Columbia U for welcoming us in such huge numbers and with such warmth! See you all at IFC Center!
That's COLUMBIA's very own Calvin Sun on the bottom right doing the asian squat. The Man!

Standing room only @ NYU! Thanks Phoebe Lee!!!
Day 11 - NYU! Not to be outdone, NYU followed suit big time! We met Justin at the Kimmel Center at NYU (he just flew back to NY from LA). We were greeted by the Amazing Phoebe Lee. Now Phoebe brought us in the back door so we had no idea who was coming to see us speak. When Phoebe introduced us, we were greeted by about 400 cheering NYU students. The room capacity was 250 so there were a lot of students standing. It was amazing! The energy and turnout really blew us away! Thanks Phoebe and the NYU posse...we had an such a great time meeting you all!
Why we threw the international sign of FOB we will never know...

Grassroots Day 9 - Clam Chowder & a Haunted Hotel
Friday, Oct 5, 2007 4:16AM / Standard Entry
This morning we took a train from NYC to Boston to speak to the students in the New England region. Lots of students from BU, Tufts, Harvard, MIT, etc. were in attendance. But what I'm about to talk about is a bit spooky. So if you're easily scared or frightened of supernatural tales, I suggest you stop reading now. If not, read on to find out about our creepy ass night in Boston.
This is the only "non creepy" photo from our Boston trip. It is Sung & I enjoying a nice and milky New England clam chowder before the eeriness of night set in...
I am convinced our hotel was haunted. Julie had arranged for Sung & I to share a room at this very old, 5 story B&B that was once a woman's college. It was designed very much like the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland...just dirtier. The second I walked in, I could just feel a disturbance in the air. Something was off. They gave Sung & I the back room at the very top of the hotel. Why put us there? All the other rooms on all the other floors were empty. Strange. Even stranger, I could not get my camera to take a normal picture of me. It was so creepy. I could take pictures of Sung & Julie in the hotel. But the second anyone tried to take a picture of me in the hotel, the photo would be too dark, too light, or have smears of something in frame. It was so so creepy. We tried shooting over and over and over again. It was like the Ring man...it was like some thing/being was preventing me from having my photograph taken normally. Here are some of those photos. Can you see a face to the left of me in the first pic?
I know this doesn't seem like a big deal, but we shot these photos like 50 times. This was the best of the lot."
Sung even felt "it". Here's Sung in his colonial bed. He doesn't even fit.
Sung & I both agreed there was some sort of presence on our floor. Sung was joking that perhaps it was a horny ghost and that we should just welcome it. Though I laughed, I didn't find it funny. I felt like someone was watching me all night long. I hardly slept a wink. Oh well, thank goodness we're headed back to NYC in the early morning. I don't think I could have spent another night in a haunted woman's college. Sweet dreams... : )

Grassroots Day 8 - Sleeping TV Interviews & Cuban Mojitos!
Tuesday, Oct 2, 2007 8:42PM / Standard Entry
Early morning TV interviews are an interesting thing...especially when one does not get much sleep before them. Things come out of your mouth, but you do not know what is really coming out of it. Hopefully Sung & I said something intelligent since NTDTV viewership is beamed globally via satellite to over 1.3 billion people. I think Sung & I discussed the health benefits of a vegan diet...or our love for the Animal Planet's "Meekrat Manor"...or something...
Sung & I, though awake, are technically asleep. We walk, yet we know not how...
Afterwards we had a nice lunch at some sort of restaurant resembling a garage and then met up with McCaleb back at our Hells Kitchen pad. But before we got too comfortable, we had to head on out again to the Upper East Side to speak to about 250 folks at the ImaginAsian Theater. An FTG shout out to the peeps, you know what I'm saying? We felt like rappers on MTV's TRL.
By the time any of us knew it, it was late night. How time flies when you're on the road. For the first time in over a week, we actually could hang out and enjoy a nice dinner. We met up with our good buddy SuChin Pak (she was doing MTV coverage of the whole Britney Spears losing children thing all day) at what may have been one of the best Cuban restaurants I have ever been to (it's called Ideya). I think all of us really needed to unwind cause we went through like 4 mojitos each before the main course! Arriba! Candi, our production designer, showed up in all her blonde haired glory. We found out it was her birthday so guess what...another round of mojitos! Anyway, we shared a few laughs, ate some very raw meat, and then headed back home. Tomorrow we're headed to Boston!
I am caught in between a sexy sandwich of Sung & SuChin. Why does Sung look like he wishes to eat me?
