Feeling High About Evan Low
You probably agree: Evan Low was one of the true highlights of Angry Asian Man’s 30 under 30 list this year.
He is, after all, only 26. He’s also adorably handsome, with the kind of ready smile that somehow seems to denote a firm handshake and kind demeanor. And in 2006, months before the little bugger had even been elected to City Council in the city of Campbell, SF Mayor Newsom had officially declared June 5 “Evan Low Day” for San Fransiscans. The guy has his own day. Seriously.
Mayor Low
As a city council member, Low quickly racked up distinctions as the first openly gay, Chinese American and youngest person in the Campbell City Council. He was also noted as the State of California’s youngest, openly gay official.
So get this: on Tuesday, Low was promoted from vice-mayor to a one-year term as Mayor of Campbell, which now makes him the youngest gay, and one of the youngest Asian American mayors in the whole freakin’ country. Hot diggity, this country needs more Gayors!
We can barely contain our excitement about a young, hot, gaysian rocking such a prestigious city office–but we will because we’re also reallyreallyreallyreally jealous that he has achieved so frickin’ much with nary a wrinkle around his happy eyes.

And Speaking of Appetite Suppressants…
My friend Chris, a brilliant comfort food chef (he once served a magnificent nine dinner courses of bacon–a life-changing, so-worth-it event that my arteries may never forgive me for) told me about a very special bread chef from Thailand this morning.
I was so intrigued by the gastronomic innovasian that I wrote a poem to describe my reaction:
This Thailand Bread
Looks like people so dead
Mostly cabezas,
A treat that does faze usIs that a heart?
Baker says that it’s art
But I’d rather see canvas
Than floured forearms and bare assIt’s awfully gruesome
Like friendship with Gavin Newsom,
Like chlamydia prick
The scene makes me sickStill, the baker, he sifts
Making these unique gifts
So that folks that bring bread
Can give wonderful head.
Here’s what I’m talkin’ about, Willis:
Uh, yuck. I’m so un-hungry now I could be an aspiring model. Jesus.
Thank you x2, Chris!!
