Kate’s in LA, Yoko’s in New York. We learn that Kate knows all the words to Amagigoe by enka singer Sayuri Ishikawa, and have our minds blown discussing “99 Ranch” vs. “Ranch 99” and “lie-chee” vs. “lee-chee.”

So Where Are They Now?

When we chatted with Ken Quemuel in Ep. 4, he was running a monthly dance party in LA called 143. This fall, he’s moved on to start Cupid, a return to the slow jams that got him excited about DJ-ing in the first place. Kate is going to check it out, since it’s happening while she’s in town (post script: it was awesome). If you’re in LA, the next one is on October 9!

Model Minorities

Yoko’s model minority is Linh-Yen Hoang, the designer behind the “Wrong Asian, but ok” sticker. Extreme relatable feels. Check out her Etsy shop, which also has prints and zines!

Kate’s model minority is Maya Erskine, who writes, produces, and stars in Pen15, a TV show about a “middle school as it really happened.” Also ... extremely relatable. Shoutout if you were in middle school in the year 2000.
