The Peruvian-Japanese Hip Hop Dancer Says Goodbye to the Half-Chinese Filmmaker (A Music Video) · 16 March 07
My good friend Jason Ho (of Sushi Time and The Whale fame) just left Japan for America.
I wrote him a silly song. But, he's a video guy, and video guys deserve video gifts.
So, I borrowed a little snapshoot digicam and rallied the local Japanese-Peruvian Elementary Student Hip Hop Dancing Superpal...
...and we made this for him.
(Vimeo.com link here)
Like most going-away gifts, a bit hard to understand if you don't know the recipient personally. But I feel confident you'll enjoy the dancing.

When is Saleem going to become a pop cultural icon? I keep watching VH1 waiting for Saleem to show up to put his hilareous and distincitve spin on the trivial news of the week like Samantha B or that other guy from the Sierra Myst commercials.
This might be favorite video yet…

You know, I like what you’re doing here, Saleem.

Aw, thanks guys.
I wish I knew who Samantha B and the Sierra Myst commercial guy were.
