We’ve been in Malaysia for 3 days now, and we have SO much to cover and catch up on. It’s been a whirlwind of press conferences, interviews, and today’s epic event. So much to say, but until we have more time to gather everything, we just wanted to share this great video of our radio interview from last night. What are two guys who don’t sing or rap, from a group that doesn’t do anything musical, doing on a radio station?? haha. We were just as confused as you are, but it’s still an honor to have been on the show. A lot of fun, and this video is just so well put together! Can’t believe this was going out to millions across the country. Some old taxi driver out there now knows who we are! lol Enjoy!

*As you can see Ted is not there with us, sadly. He really wanted to come with us, and we wanted him there too, but unfortunately some personal issues came up last minute that prevented him from traveling with us.*

See you soon! Oh!… and everyone else in Southeast Asia and Australia… don’t worry, we have another special announcement for you coming soon

The White House Initiative on Asian American and Pacific Islanders is a committee established by the Obama administration to keep him up to date on the issues happening in the AAPI community. For his holiday reception this year, the AAPI was asked to invite certain community leaders to attend, and we were included on this guest list. Being invited to the White House at all is a huge honor. How many people can say they got to go the President’s holiday party? But then we were informed the day before that we would have the chance to meet Obama himself. We couldn’t believe it.

Walking into the White House felt like we were walking into history, it was so beautiful. The party was grand and everything was decorated wonderfully (Christmas trees literally every 30 feet). To To meet the president we had an allotted time to stand in line (like a meet&greet for Mickey Mouse, haha) and after several check points we were in the same room as Barack. We were escorted by a military service man in formal uniform up to the president, presented with our names, and we had about 10 seconds to shake his hand, say a few words, and take a photo. It happened so fast, but…it happened.

What an honor. I don’t know what else to say. I can’t believe that these videos we make on Youtube have brought us to the White House, to the President. Thank you so much to Eddie from the AAPI Initiative for inviting us to be a part of this huge honor that we’ll remember for the rest of our lives. We have some video from our visit, but for now until we edit it together, hope the photos give a good feel.

Standing outside, in line, waiting at the first security check point to enter.

With Chris and Travis from the band New Heights, other guests of the AAPI Initiative, in one of rooms discussing policy. haha

Ted couldn’t make it because of a prior engagement that he couldn’t get out of unfortunately. Don’t worry Ted, we’ll be back here again someday!

Since Ted couldn’t go, we got to bring another guest, Mimi! You probably recognize her from several of our short films!

An amazing portrait.

Catching up with Eddie, head of the AAPI Initiative, and also member of the Jubilee Project!

Getting our name cards so the military escorts could present us to the president.

***Our actual photo with the President and First Lady I think is being mailed to us. We were not allowed to bring cameras into the area, so we’ll share that when it comes!***

After our photo, we got to enjoy the rest of the night with delicious food and drinks. George Washington says, “Please, enjoy the festivities and food.” Wes says, “Don’t mind if I do!”

What an incredible evening…

Thank you for your support. You are directly part of the reason why we got to have this experience. Thank you.

Here are some photos from along the way.

Audience participation!

Look who decided to show up…via Skype! Such a fun multimedia show, you can imagine the fun Wes was having being on the big screen behind Phil

Ending the night with Montreal’s famous Poutine…a bed of fries covered in cheese curds and gravy… this is a meal to them. haha

We’ve got one more stop at Georgetown University in Washington DC.

We’re especially excited because these are all NEW schools we’ve never been to before, and except for Georgetown, we haven’t even been to these cities or states. It’s only fair to the fans and supporters there right? Every tour they have to see us going back to Boston, Chicago, Seattle, Atlanta, or New York, etc. It’s your turn now New Orleans, St. Louis, Montreal! We can’t wait to see you there!

Not familiar with Magnetic North or Taiyo Na? Check out their channel and get ready for a really heartfelt meaningful video coming this holiday.

We’ve never been to Korea, much less for a seminar at a film festival! We’re really excited and the language barrier should be very interesting to get through (I believe we’ll have translators, haha). Can’t wait, and we hope to see some of you there!

WF in Korea! FIGHTING! <- (korean thing, hehe)

Now you know what “SHELL” was for. We made it specifically for the film festival. They asked us to create a short film to help promote it.

To all our friends and supporters in the San Francisco Bay Area, we’re bringing ISA to you! You probably already know since we made the announcement weeks ago, but here’s another reminder. The show is Sept 24th, THIS weekend! Tickets are still on sale so be sure to get them soon and bring friends! It’s going to be an awesome show as every ISA concert is. Don’t miss out!
