July 22: Su Beng @ Sullivan Hall, NYC

Finally, after this whirlwind of weekend events, and returning from a weekend in the DC area with Su Beng late on Monday, I've found some time to post a few photos from the Revolutionary in New York event that I hosted on Friday, July 22, 2011. I will write up a post with my thoughts on the event soon, but first here are some photos that captured the event.

Special thanks to Lisa Tan who shot these photos with my camera during the event.

Su Beng was the first to arrive of course!
Copies of the English version of Su Beng's book, Taiwan's 400 Year History, were available for sale. The book is self-published and therefore not that readily available.
Sneaking a bite to eat before all the event goes into full swing.
People are slowly getting seated.
It was a full house.
Anticipation is mounting.
Where is the translator?! I'm frantically trying to look up his cell number here.
Quick change in plans. Talking to the stand in translator.

Finally the main event has started with my opening remarks.
