Benefit for Quake Victims

[GeneChing]

You'll find an article just below the fold on page B1 of today's World Journal. It's a little confusing because the group photo is one the neighboring 512 article. That group was present at the press conference and I believe is getting involved, but the photo should really be associated with our article.

Yes, that's me on the far left of the pic. I regret not tying my hair back.

There's another article on page B11 of the Sing Tao Daily today. It's a larger article and a bigger picture. The Chinese press conference was yesterday at Li Shudong's school in Cupertino.

I'm upstaged in this picture by my master Tony Chen. That's just as well. Tony is from Sichuan. And besides, my hair wasn't tied back. Mind you, this isn't about me or my hair. People just always ask what I look like.

Our paypal donations function is now live.

If you're wondering about the difference in contact information, it's because Li Shudong has agreed to take on the Chinese speakers and we've agreed to take on the English speakers. We are actually both capable of doing either, but there are more English speakers here and more Chinese speakers there, so it was more convenient.

Additionally, there was news coverage on KCNS 38 (Chinese TV) late last night. I hope some of you caught that program. Gigi Oh was on representing the Tiger Claw Foundation.

Design Sifu and I just updated TigerClawFoundation.org again. We're updating daily until this weekend. This update added performers and sponsors.

Be sure to come out and support this Benefit. It's amazing what can be put together in just two weeks, especially when there's a good cause.
