I know right. What a resplendent smile. Majestic almost.

So day one of the Asian Film Festival of Dallas was a blast. There was a pre-event party at the Stoneleigh hotel with free drinks (Sponsored by Bombay), free orange-champagne cupcakes (Sponsored by the Cupcake Factory), and strangely enough a performance by two Chinese dragons.

Photos anyone?

WHAMMY BAM!!

There was a red carpet! I know I’m, like, super famous and all, but this is a first.

Then we got inside the hotel and went up to the penthouse suite. I’m glad I dressed nice. The same could not be said for my camera man lol.

POPCORN!! Wait, no… ew… I don’t like popcorn

CUPCAKES!!

BOOZE!!

MORE BOOZE!!

Lots o’ people

Ever seen Chinese dragons run through a hotel with loud drums behind them? I know, who hasn’t?

A beautiful view of Dallas from the terrace

This is Teresa Nguyen doing the opening remarks for the festival

There are plenty of extra photos in the gallery below! Well, I gotta get going to Day 2.
