I haven’t been able to watch any of the previous 5 games live, but through Facebook, Twitter, news articles, blogs, and highlights on YouTube, I very quickly and proudly jumped onto the Linsanity bandwagon. Heck yah. What he stands for is what I thrive for! Not only is he also a 2nd generation Taiwanese American who has quite possibly become the most widely recognized Asian American public figure within just the last week, he has brought such a positive light into the mainstream, giving all the glory to God, and that is freakin’ AWESOME.

In late 2010, I got to see Jeremy play while I was up in the Bay and I remember thinking how crappy it was how little playtime he got. I could barely see what kind of skills he had then. I mean, nobody was passing the ball to him :[ Here’s my footage from that night (totally stalkerish):

Mind you, I’m not one that follows the NBA or knows anything about stats, etc., but I’d definitely heard about Jeremy a few years ago (probably from Angry Asian Man). Then I started to see him around here and there. And BOOM, now he’s in the spotlight with all eyes on him. Exciting times to be Asian American. Year of the Dragon… coincidence? I think not. I’m definitely rooting and praying for Jeremy!

Finally, for someone who never really cared for sports paraphernalia, I’m about to stock up on Jeremy Lin gear. This is one of them (MY LINJA! by MY NINJA!):

P.S. – Jeremy, if you’re reading this~ don’t let all these blogs get to your head Haha. But you obviously don’t need me to tell you that!

Who is Grace Su aka Peachies?
Many know her as a blogger, others know her as a filmmaker, some know her as an actress, but God knows and she knows, that she is who she is. An "About" page really won't tell you much, but here's a summary anyway:

Back in her college days, Grace jump started her career promoting Asian American films, music, arts, and events on her blog (beginning with BETTER LUCK TOMORROW). Beginning in 2004, Grace started getting various work experience as a PR/licensing intern and a production assistant on various TV/commercial/music video sets. In 2005, she directed FUTURE ROCK STARS OF AMERICA, a short documentary produced through Visual Communication's Armed With a Camera Fellowship. It was Grace's debut into the film festival circuit, introducing audiences to a movement surrounding Asian American musicians (Far East Movement and Nemo) and their community in Los Angeles. After graduating from UC Santa Cruz, she moved down to Los Angeles in 2006 and began working in post-production. During this time, she also worked on independent creative projects as a producer of sorts. In late 2008, she left editing TV commercials to pursue the indie film road dabbling behind-the-scenes and in front of the camera.

Some notable credits:
- Ain't No Sunshine music video for Tatum Jones (Producer)
- WEST 32ND directed by Michael Kang (Co-Music Supervisor)
- My First Crush short film directed by Rocky Jo (Producer)
- Project Michelle PSA: Are You Ready to Be a Hero? (Producer & Editor)
- WEDDING PALACE (Assistant Location Manager, Extras Casting, various roles)
- Kim Jong Il Eharmony as seen on YouTube (Actress & Editor)
- Manivore webisodes (Actress & Editor)
- 1040 documentary about "Christianity in the New Asia" (Assistant Editor & Associate Producer)
- Music Video Program for The Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival (Curator)

Finally, Grace has been blogging since the late '90s and has been known to be a web maven, although she thinks she has lost her touch since not being able to obtain "Peachies" on sites such as Twitter. She currently resides in Los Angeles.

FAQ: Why "Peachies"?

"Peachies" was a nickname given to Grace in her freshman year of high school because she would always carry a bag of Trolli gummy peach rings with her (back then, the candy was called "Peachies"... they are now called "Peachie-O's"). The nickname stuck and Grace started using it as her username for various online sites (AsianAvenue, Findapix, Xanga, Myspace, etc.)

Today, most of her friends know her as Peachies as well.

And coincidentally, Grace's Chinese name is Pei-Chi (佩淇)!
