It looks like Koreatown will be the birth of a new hit-reality show featuring Asian-Americans with unique personalities and entertaining life experiences. It's intriguing because it will be the first Asian-American based reality TV show!

According to a Craigslist posting, a production company is " looking for interesting, attractive, colorful Asian-Americans to cast in a reality show similar to JERSEY SHORE, REAL WORLD, THE HILLS, etc. We need attractive Asian-Americans with lively, strong, and unique personalities between the ages of 18 to 30 with equally interesting life stories and perspectives to share, especially individuals who know about and/or experienced the Koreatown life."

Even if you aren't an authentic Asian but have an obsession with the culture and people, you still have a chance to be on this new hit series!

Casting will be held April 24-25th in Hollywood, CA

Next week we will be co-sponsoring a fundraising event for the Surfer's Myelopathy Foundation along with Reach Productions LA. It will be held from 8-10PM right before our Addiction Saturday nights. Come out early and support a good cause.

Surfer's myelopathy (SM) is a non-traumatic spinal cord injury that affects first time surfers.

The novice surfer is affected by a loss of blood flow to the spinal cord, known as an ischemic injury, believed to be caused by the hyperextension of the back while laying on the surfboard for an extended period of time. Surfers begin to feel a back pain that is followed by decrease sensation and gradual impaired mobility in the legs. Some patients have been permanently paralyzed while others have fully recovered. There is no treatment for this injury, but experts advise that first-time surfers should not stay in the water for a long time and should get out of the water at the first sign of unusual back pain
