SXSW Story 1: Min Jung gets pwn3d
(The setting: The Salt Lick BBQ, somewhere in Texas.)
Min Jung: I love the Salt Lick, but if one more girl asks me if I’m Sandra Oh, I’m going to leave this convention and I’m never coming back to Texas.
Kevin: What happened?
MJ: Someone just said I look like Sandra Oh, from Grey’s Anatomy. While I was on the fucking can.
(Everyone looks at each other)
MJ: What, are you serious? You’re saying I look like Sandra Oh because we’re both Korean women?
Ernie: Well… let’s be honest, girl. You guys do have the same facial shape.
MJ: [sitting up in her chair straight] No, I don’t.
E: Uhm… sitting up in your chair isn’t going to change your facial shape. Just saying.
MJ: …
Obviously, after a conversation exchange such as the one above, it means only one thing: a practical joke, orchestrated by Kevin, must be played on her involving the wait-staff while she’s off socializing at another table. Twenty minutes later…
Two giddy 15-year old employees, holding a piece of paper: Ohmygod! Are you Sandra Oh from Grey’s Anatomy? Can you sign…
MJ: WHAT DID I TELL YOU!? WHAT DID I TELL YOU PEOPLE?! WHO’S THE ASSHOLE WHO SET ME UP FOR THIS, HUH? WAS IT YOU?
E: (Loudly.) Oh, Sandra. Be nice to the girls.
Min Jung later punched us all in the stomach on the way to the car. It was totally worth it.
