Tweet to Win Free Ticks to Our YouTube Adaptation of ‘Yellow Face’ at LAAPFF

  • April 8, 2013 11:00 pm

Regular readers of this blog already know that the YOMYOMF Network is producing the first-ever play to YouTube adaptation of a major theatrical work—our fellow Offender David Henry Hwang’s Yellow Face.

David is a Tony Award-winning writer (for M. Butterfly) and Yellow Face brought him a prestigious Obie Award and was also a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The play follows an Asian American playwright, conveniently named DHH (Ryun Yu), who casts Marcus (Covert Affairs’ Christopher Gorham), a Caucasian actor, in his new show mistakenly believing that Marcus is part Asian and tries to cover up his mistake once he learns the truth.

Our friends at Visual Communications will be hosting a work-in-progress screening of Yellow Face during this year’s Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival on Sunday, May 5 at 5PM. The screening will be introduced by YouTube’s Bing Chen and will be followed by a discussion with YOMYOMF Creative Director Philip W. Chung, director Jeff Liu and cast members Ryun Yu, Linda Park and Sab Shimono. If you want to be the first to get a sneak peek of this unique project before it’s released on YouTube in late May, purchase tickets here before they’re all gone. You can also enter for a chance to win a FREE pair of tickets from YOMYOMF by simply sending us a tweet. Here’s what you need to do:  Read more...

YOMYOMF Challenge: We Need Your Help to Rename Sung Kang’s Show

  • July 6, 2011 5:07 pm

07/08/11 Update: Keep them comments going! Some of the suggestions are really good, but we could use a few more! Also, we’re going to implement a deadline for this contest to win a) Respect, b) Spam, c) Sung’s undying love so we’re going to accept all suggestions by Sunday, 07/10, 12pm PST.

Everyone knows “Sung Kang, star of THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS: TOKYO DRIFT,” the venerable and legendary host of CAR TALK DISCUSSION w/ Sung Kang.  If you haven’t seen it yet, then this is your last chance, in it’s unadulterated form (we’ll get to the adulterated part later in this blog).

YomyomF Sports Challenge Winner

  • April 28, 2010 11:40 pm

So who is the winner of the YomyomF Challenge winner?

You may never know. Why? Here’s the reply I got when I sent ‘MacLu’ the good news about his victory Spam–

HI Justin,

Thanks! One thing… do I have to pose for the pic? I don’t want to sound like an ingrate but at my day job I have somewhat of a public persona and I have to deal with super conservative wingnuts (who fwd me emails to join the Tea Party and elect Sarah Palin in 2012, no joke). It’s a super long shot but I don’t want my ugly mug to be associated w/ my comments on the site.

YomYomF Challenge: Name this sport

  • April 4, 2010 11:11 pm

It’s been awhile, but YomYomF Challenge is back!

As you know, I’m always on the lookout for a new sport to love (here and here).
And I found one more–

And the great thing is, there’s no name for it. Sure there’s ‘nunchuck baseball’, but that’s just too obvious. Let’s take it upon ourselves and give it a proper name. Just leave your submission in our comments section (and an email address we can reach you at if you win) and as always, winner gets a can of our beloved Spam.  Read more...

Ritalin Challenge

  • December 21, 2009 6:11 pm

We’re having a YOMYOMF meeting and the subject of Ritalin came up. I don’t think any of the Offenders have ADHD, but some of us have high demanding jobs and Ritalin seems like an interesting concept. So, we’re embarking on this challenge, “How do we get Ritalin?”

Or has any of you readers out there taken Ritalin and is not ADHD? Let us know the side effects… or benefits!

Will the situation end up like Alex P. Keaton on speed? YouTube Preview Image

The ‘Go to” Challenge Winner

  • October 28, 2009 12:34 am

After weeks of deliberation, hours of lost sleep, and…
Actually I found out first hand you cannot send Spam via mail to Canada, which is where the winner of the ‘go to’ challenge resides. I sent out the prized meat weeks ago but it disappeared without a trace. I guess even Canada considers Spam food, which is surprising to me. I thought customs would’ve simply let it slide as sodium sculpture or something. Well, without further ado, here’s the winner (posing with a stand-in can of Spam):
Captain “Tiberius” Sean and his beautiful communications officer Julia. By the way, the photo also automatically submits them into the Halloween Challenge (I actually wasn’t sure if they had Halloween in Canada.)

And the new ‘Go to’ actor is…

Ricky Gervais.

The ‘Go to’ Challenge

  • September 24, 2009 4:41 am

I’m not a channel surfer nor do I have a lot of time to watch TV usually. But in the last few months I had a couple of opportunities to try it out. And it was daunting. One could conceivably surf for hours without settling on anything. I felt a little unnerved and totally incomplete. But the one bright spot from the experience is that once in awhile you catch something that for some reason just makes you stop and watch. And since it’s unplanned it comes across as a bit of gift. And in my case there was a constant to the gift– Michael J. Fox.
