Yup, there ARE two drives at the same place….a week apart from each other. Hopefully Bar Bollywood will have serious amounts of brown folk show up and register. There’s a ton more coming up in Houston , too…

We need help flyering up in the Tx Med Center and all Houston area Desi restaurants, grocery stores, beauty salons, places of worship… if you’d like to help me out, drop me an email I’ll see you thurs.. I’ll be the one onstage trying to be witty

Abhi--what an awesome idea! There is so much potent talent hidden away (sadly, sometimes suppressed) in our community. Big part of the problem is the availability of fora. Bring the mountain & maybe Mohammed will speak (perform). Thanks for doing this. I'll definitely spread the word to friends & family in Houston. Maybe it'll serve as an impetus to get similar efforts started in other cities.

And a drive, too!

Not that I wasn't before but, I am officially won over, Abhi.

OK - so there are two distinct swabbing events. After reading Soham's post, and seeing GenerAsian Radio's flyer on the same day, I wasn't sure if one or the other had a mistake in the date.

I'm looking forward to the tectonic shift!
