Have fun! 😊
I've seen more than enough of them "live" in the past & I liked them a lot better when the route was down Grant. 🤷♂️

Rewatched #RogersAndHammerstein's #TheFlowerDrumSong (1961) again yesterday.
Many #AsianAmericans, like me, have a love/hate relationship with this movie because of all of the #Asian & #Chinese stereotypes that it portrays & because most of the actors in the film weren't even Chinese.
The film is also pretty misogynistic & gender limiting too which is consistent with the times.
That said, I remember when how excited my mother & the Chinese community in #SFChinatown were when the movie was released because it was the 1st time that the Chinese were portrayed in the film with anything close to our reality & because it was the 1st & only film (until #TheJoyLuckClub (1993) in which the cast was almost entirely #Asian. . . .
It's nonetheless an important film to watch in terms of understanding how Asians are under represented in American media.
The Wiki synopsis of the film is pretty good & worth reading if you have any interest in the film & Asian American media.

Just watched the #ChineseNewYearParade on #KGO7.
It was the 1st time KGO covered the parade -- #KTVU2 always covered it in the past -- & IMO KGO did a poor job of it
The commentators were out of synch in describing the various parade participants, poorly interviewed rhe Miss Chinatown winner w/no mention of the other participants & totally blew the coverage of the finale -- barely showing anything of -- Gum Loong-- one of the longest & biggest dragons -- & shot the fireworks too close up.
Very disappointing.☹️
Glad I've seen so many other CNY parades in the past on TV & in person, so it really didn't matter to me but I feel for those who were seeing it for the 1st time on TV or online who were not given a better idea of what the parade is actually like. Oh well . . .🤷
