Oh, what a night! The talent was exceptional.  It was a great show! 
MC Il Moon Jo kept the show rolling along with much good-natured flava - and even a few Korean words thrown in for good measure - though it sounded to me like his Korean was about as good as mine... Uhmm...

I especially liked the grrrl power represented during the half-time show. There was a competition within the competition, with singer/rapper, Sally winning with her version of Alica meet Nicki. Also, Rachel won the dance portion with her breaking!

A special THANKS to Kollaboration and two of their generous sponsors for the delicious free gifts! Organic honey and frozen yogurt? What a sweet surprise!

Poet, Alvin Lau WON the competition with his manifesto on being Asian and AWESOME!

The evening started off with a bang - namely, Derek Suen. If you like singer/songwriters like Jason Mraz, you will love this cat... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q73FcEHqmck
