May 1, 2012 by 1 Comment

If you are a Washingtonian Persian, “Ganje Gharoon Nemikham” is a fantastic musical comedy for you to see.  The show directed by Farzan Deljou starring Anthony Shams  aka Eslam the Comic,  the Farglish (Farsi + English) standup comedian and actor who used to be a Washingtonian himself till the late 80′s when he moved to Hollywood to pursue his dream.

The show is full of laugh from the beginning to the end! I saw it last month in LA. It’s in Farsi.  So, you have 19 days to learn the language :) Read more of this post

International Film Festival in Freer Gallery

January 19, 2011 by Leave a comment

Another awesome event for everyone particularly the Iranian-American community to celebrate their love for Persian art and heritage in Washington, DC. The Freer Gallery at the Smithsonian Museums of Asian Art is hosting the Iranian Film Festival in Washington, D.C. The film festival starts this Friday, January 21st, screening five new Iranian films plus a special documentary program.

Here is a the partial list of the movies

The White Meadows
Fans of Mohammad Rasoulof’s Iron Island will find even more densely-woven symbolism and uncanny imagery in his latest film. Shot on a lake dotted with tiny islands and otherworldly salt formations, this visually stunning, allegory-rich work is full of indelible scenes, from a woman who marries the sea to a dwarf who carries jars of secrets to the bottom of a well. These and other haunting incidents are witnessed by the film’s hero, a man who rows from island to island, collecting human tears. This inventive collection of surreal stories radiate the power of classic mythology, but also present a cutting, if deliberately veiled, critique of Iran’s current political situation. (Dir.: Mohammad Rasoulof, 2009, video, 93 min., Persian with English subtitles) Read more of this post

After a full week of non-stop testing and bug fixing of the new awesomize.me from 6 a.m till 2 a.m, I dropped everything last night and headed to Lima Lounge for dinner and hunting with friends  ;-)

I have been always enjoying Lima, but certainly last night was the best. Literally, everyone had returned from an overseas trip, me included. So, it was like reunion Persian party…Awesome crowd, like always, Awesome ambience, Awesome music, and Awesome Wine! Later on the night, things went a little bit out of control. Everyone was drunk!!!
