VASCON MIC

6:30PM – 8:30PM: Keynote Addresses

Well it’s your eye in the sky Jason here working the Light and Soundboard up in the ICC Auditorium control room. In fact if you attended the Keynote Address Friday, odds are I was staring at the back of your heads from on high.

If all life is just high school replayed, as is my personal belief, than we’ve been sequestered to the Audio/Visual Club.

7:13PM: E-Board intro, US and Vietnamese national anthems

7:33PM: Dr. Dan Porterfield-Vice President for Public Affairs and Strategic Development, Georgetown University

7:40PM: Adrian Hong-Executive Director of Liberty in North Korea (LiNK)

What, an asian conference without Adrian? Pure silliness

7:50PM: Keynote Speaker: Duy-Loan Le-Senior Fellow at Texas Instruments

If you've been in an Algebra class or higher than you've probably seen the handiwork of Mrs. Le, who made history in 2002 by becoming TI's (the calculater manufacturer, not the recently incarcerated rapper) first and only woman and Asian American to be elected rank of TI Senior Fellow, a title held only by 4 other people. Perks of this title include higher pay, more respect and a morpher coin that summons the powerful Megazord. Duy-Loan holds 22 patents and 8 pending applications, and yet over the years she's still found the time to be a mother to two children. Needless to say, much of her Keynote Address was dedicated to finding the balance between ones career and ones personal life. Apparently the key to this is patience, patience, and some more patience. "Get to know your parents, in our haist to gain to gain independence when we go to college we too often sever the ties that bind us to our family and our past." Best question of the night: 'Is America more racist or more sexist?' The majority of hands were raised for the latter. Which reminds me, to all the ladies reading this, you are beautiful, you are talented, and I live to serve you!

8:30PM-9:30PM: VASCON MIC (sorry, videos of MIC Night comming up soon)

9:35PM: Ami and I are chased out of the skybox by a big angry black guy, apparently they're supposed to be screening Sweeny Todd five minutes ago. That's right, we got booted for Johnny Depp.
