March: Better Luck Tomorrow     Dr. Franklin Odo, director of the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Program, welcomes a full audience anxiously awaiting the sneak preview screening of the phenomenal film Better Luck Tomorrow.   Terry Hong, Korean American Centennial Commemoration project director, laughs with (from left to right) actor John Cho, director Justin Lin and actor Sung Kang. Who wouldn’t be giddy being on stage with the BLT boys?         Just the BLT boys alone: John, Justin and Sung.   And the BLT boys again.         The BLT boys from a different angle answering more audience questions.   Director Justin Lin having a grand old time with the audience.         Actor John Cho, who plays “Steve,” the too-perfect boyfriend.   Actor Sung Kang, who plans “Han,” the lost soul with more brawns than brains, who proves he’s the all-around sensitive one … the crowds went wild!             The BLT boys, après-panel.   The Asian Pacific American Program staff get to surround the BLT boys. Oh, and how sweet it was!.                     The Boss, dead center, surrounded by the hungry masses feasting on another toothsome spread.   Justin Lin holding court.             John Cho flanked by his groupies.   John Cho obliging his adoring public with his autograph.         A laughing Sung Kang with his groupies.   More groupies in search of a photo-op with obliging, sensitive Sung.       Photo credit: Richard Strauss           Donorship has its privileges: Sookie Choi Kunst gets a memorable photo-op with her favorite hottie of the evening! Just don't tell her hubby....       Photo credit: Gregor Bailar
