Loving Day is proud to co-sponsor
the Sulu Series event Hapa-Palooza
at the Bowery Poetry Club on Sunday,
December 20 from 8PM to 11PM.

The Sulu Series takes place the third
Sunday of every month and features
Asian American performers in music,
spoken word, video and multidisciplinary
performances from the local and national scenes.

This month's theme, Hapa-Palooza borrows its
name from the word "hapa" - the Hawaiian word
for half Asian � and will feature works by
the hottest acts in the multiethnic community.

The crowd is sure to be moved by Loving Day
DJ Boo's mixes and Koba Sounds' stylings,
as well as the performances of fellow
multiethnic Asian artists Samantha Chanse,
Michelle Myers, Jared Rehberg and Una Osato.

For more information, be sure to
check out www.myspace.com/suluseries.

Make sure to drop by and say hi to Loving Day
volunteers, who will be there as speakers
and hanging out throughout the evening.

See you there!

Below is an email to send to anyone you think might be interested in participating in an interview who has taken a DNA ancestry test. Sorry this took me a few days to send!

Hello,

My name is Natasia Wright, and I'm a Research Assistant to Professor Wendy Roth in the Department of Sociology at the University of British Columbia. Dr. Roth is doing a research study on the social impacts of DNA Ancestry Testing -- especially whether it has any effect on identities and attitudes. I recently interviewed someone you know for this study and they thought you might be willing to participate in an interview as well. The interviews are done over the phone, and we offer $40 to thank people for their time in participating.

We're looking to talk with people with a wide range of experiences to DNA Ancestry Testing, so we'd be very interested in learning about your experiences regardless of whether the test results had much influence on you or not.
If you would be willing to help us with this project, please contact me at natasia.social. impacts@gmail. com, or you can contact Dr. Roth at wroth@interchange. ubc.ca or (604) 822-4845.
Additionally, regardless of whether you would like to participate in the telephone interview, I invite you to fill out a quick online survey about the tests you have taken, located at http://faculty. arts.ubc. ca/wroth/ SurveyIntro. html

Thanks very much for your consideration, and I hope to hear from you soon!
Kind regards,
Natasia

Yes, I totally agree.  America is obsessed with creating racial divisions.
I find it rather bizarre that "Hispanic" is considered an ethnicity or a
culture, while "African-American" is considered a race.  There are racially
mixed persons in BOTH of those groups.  In actuality, the MAJORITY of
African-Americans AND Latinos have some sort of mixing in their background.
Really, I think the whole idea of race is a joke.  We should only be asked to
identify w/ethnicity or culture, if we choose any, rather than race.

I live in the US/Mexico border region, and I have seen what you are talking
about.   Light-skinned persons of Mexican descent identify as White, while
darker individuals may identify as Mestizo.  The funny thing is often these
different pigmented individuals are in the same family!  For instance, my
husband is dark-skinned while his sister is very fair.  Does this mean they are
different races??  How can they be if they have the same parents?  The whole
thing is absurd.

Hi.  I wanted to get different opinons about this.  My daughter handed me this
letter she got from the school about racial catorgories.  On file, my daughter
is Multi-racial.  Well, that wasn't enough.  They wanted me to be specific.  I
called her father, who is hispanic, and asked him what race does he identify
with.  Of coarse he said to put her down as black and American Indian.

I talked to his cousin, which is my friend, to ask if she recieved the same
letter.  She told me yes.  On her letter it had a section for race and ethicity.
To make a long story short, she put her son down as white.  I was like why.  She
said that since he is light-skinned, someone suggested that.  I was puzzled. 
She even told her boyfriend, which is also hispanic, that he would be classified
as white.  Now he is dark-skinned with curley hair.  I was puzzled.  His father
is supposedly of African heritage as well.

To me, they are more American Indian than anything.  This country has always
used race to divide Americans, now they are trying to divide Hispanics by
forcing them to put down their race.  What a Nation we live in.

this December. We hope to see you there!

DJ SPOOKY AT BROOKLYN ACADEMY OF MUSIC

The multitalented DJ Spooky will be performing a genre-bending multimedia
symphony. He actually went to Antarctica and recorded the sound of the ice
melting. During the performance, he will merge those sounds with a string
ensemble, hip hop beats, and live video projections - very cool! DJ Spooky
generously performed at the Loving Day Flagship Celebration NYC in 2008, and
continues to spread the word about Loving Day internationally.

12/2, 12/4, and 12/5 at 7:30pm
Tickets are $15 and up.

SEAN BRADFORD from BROADWAY IN SOUTH AFRICA at DROM NYC

Sean Bradford is a Broadway star who is best known for his work with The Lion
King. We were very fortunate to have him perform at the Loving Day Benefit
Concert 2009 this October as part of Broadway in South Africa. The audience was
mesmerized! Sean will perform songs by Guster, Maxwell, Maroon 5, Amy Winehouse,
and more with help from performers from RENT, Rock of Ages, and more.

Tuesday, Dec. 1st at 10:00 PM at Drom

Laura Love
Over the past several years, Laura Love has become quite acclaimed in the Northwest music scene as an unparalleled vocalist, bassist, and songwriter. Love's style is a synthesis of inner-city funk and folk-ish sensibility. One of the most difficult tasks for a musician is to find an apt label for her music; folk/funk, African/Appalachian, and House/Celtic have been bandied about for Laura Love. Whatever you choose to call it, Love's original music is at once fresh, def, and rooted in tradition.

Although a popular headliner in her own right, she has opened for John Lee Hooker, Lyle Lovett, Bo Diddley, Karla Bonoff, and Elayne Boosler and been invited to perform at a number of folk and eclectic music festivals.

Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, Laura Love began her career at the age of 16, singing jazz and pop standards at the Nebraska State Penitentiary. Since then, Love has played in a blues- grunge outfit, in a duo, trio, and in the funny feminist foursome, Venus Envy. Love has... Read More

One of the most difficult tasks for a musician is to find an apt label for her music; folk/funk, African/Appalachian, and House/Celtic have been bandied about for Laura Love. Whatever you choose to call it, Love's original music is at once fresh, def, and rooted in tradition.

Although a popular headliner in her own right, she has opened for John Lee Hooker, Lyle Lovett, Bo Diddley, Karla Bonoff, and Elayne Boosler and been invited to perform at a number of folk and eclectic music festivals.

Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, Laura Love began her career at the age of 16, singing jazz and pop standards at the Nebraska State Penitentiary. Since then, Love has played in a blues- grunge outfit, in a duo, trio, and in the funny feminist foursome, Venus Envy. Love has released three albums: Menstrual Hut (1989), Z Therapy (1990), and Pangaea (1993), all on her own label, Octoroon Biography. Shum Ticky followed in 1998 and Fourteen Days arrived in 2000 on Zoe Records. ~ Laura Post, All Music Guide
