Lesbian Fridays

So this has been a slow week in the way of post. Mostly due to the new Job that the Wang just got into. Mainly the Wang decided that the time has come to take some sort of serious adult job to support the future Wang-Spawns and Mrs Wang. Also the opportunities lay ahead at a new work place on finding new restaurants and meeting new ppl. I would say finding new women would be a goal, but leaving the lush lands of a college campus is the wrong direction for that. Still, now days, seeing a college student just reminds the Wang of young young girls that barely understand the finer aspects of life. This O.C./American Appeals generation will be lost by my infinite wisdom gained from 90210 and shopping at banana, when banana sold white shirts and khaki shorts.

June is a month of change for the Wang and change is good for the soul… or at least that’s the last fortune cookie I got at the Panda “insult to my people" Express in the UCLA food court said.

Anyways so last Friday and the end of this week shall be known as lesbian Fridays. As the Wang first went to see a cool Asian American film, Saving face, staring Joan Chen of Twin Peaks and Last Emperor fame. And this week, a Sleater Kinney concert. Both of which spanks of lesbian gatherings.

Ok Saving Face really wasn’t a gay magnet, but the movie talked about a gay female 2nd generation Asian girl who has some issues dealing with the whole Asian thing and being very different. Of course the movie kicks off with her mom, Joan Chen getting pregnant at age 50 and Asian culture comedy ala Wedding Banquet. Speaking of which, Ang Lee forget this auteur thing!! Go back to ur roots!! Any ways, this movie was particularly funny, cause it reminded the Wang of his childhood. Not the girl on girl action, but the Chinese families and all their humorous characteristics. Though Mr. Starfizzy said that some of those characteristics are universal, and reminded him of his uncles/aunty types. Still the Wang give a high recommendation to this movie. It is overall fun entertainment about the cultures adapting to more modern conflicts and the humor of those incidents.

Now the Sleater Kinney concert was a true magnet for lesbians. By the time I finally decided that one girl was decently hot and worthy of the Wang’s attention, I notice how she easily embraced another women. That’s when I notice most of the female couples in the crowd were holding each other… Still none the less, the crowd was very active and did one of the most energetic moshings that the Wang’s ever seen. This includes most of Coachella and all the alt rock bands I’ve seen locally. People were jumping up and down so much, that Mr. Starfizzy was scared for the structure integrity of the Henry Fonda theatre floors. But I give the girls of Sleater Kinney credit, they do put on a good show. It was a pretty nice energetic performance. Specially the Wang liked Corin Tucker’s little facial expressions as she carried of the more feminine and a almost southern singing style. She had this very pronounced vibrato with her voice that she trailed her alt screams with. The other best part was the dueling guitars. It almost seems that the 2 guitarist played off each other as if they were having sex on stage. It must be a lesbian thing, cause the lead singer, Carrie played the male or “top" role to Corin’s female or "bottom" role. After coming to this conclusion I noticed that their music tend to fall towards the female orgasm chart. Which is they like to draw out their climaxes. But maybe that’s just some sort of lesbian over-tone induced observation.

So that and the new job has pretty much been the attention of this week. So the Wang will have to figure out more time to balance out the posting and come back in full force. Cause we all know, no body likes a limp Wang.

UPDATE: The openning act for Sleater-Kinney was Mary Timony. And LAist has a nice article about the Sleater's drummer, Janet Weiss.
