Mary's Place is the leading provider of emergency shelter and services for women, families and children experiencing homelessness in Washington State. In 2019, Mary's Place helped over 750 families find their way back to a home of their own. The 2020 SHINE Gala raises critical funds for Mary's Place Popsicle Place program, which provides safety, medical services, and hope for families with medically fragile children. During this year’s show, guests can support Mary's Place by donating-to-vote and pick the next SHINE singing champion.

The auction catalogue is now available for early bidding and includes items like private dinners, local getaways, rare wines, behind-the-scenes tours, and an option to compete in next year's singing competition. To round out the Gala experience, a special event prix-fix meal is available for order through October 18 from four favorite local restaurants: How to Cook a Wolf, Marjorie, El Gaucho Bellevue, and Din Tai Fung. The first 250 guests who ordered a dinner received a gift bag that included two bottles of wine from Tinte Cellars, a bottle of Tito's Handmade Vodka and Topo Chico for signature cocktail, a Theo Chocolate bar, a Mary's Place face covering, Starbucks gift card, and other fun items. Each year at the SHINE Gala we honor a community leader who exemplifies visionary leadership that inspires the community to ensure that no one's child sleeps outside. This year's honoree is the Windermere Foundation. For more than 30 years, the Windermere Foundation has donated a portion of the proceeds from every home purchased or sold with a Windermere agent towards supporting low-income and families experiencing homelessness in our communities. For ten years, Windermere and their passionate and committed agents and employees have organized cleaning days and school supply drives. Mary's Place has been the beneficiary of Windermere's #TackleHomelessness partnership with the Seattle Seahawks, donating $100 to Mary's Place for every hometown defensive tackle. To date, they've raised more than $120,000 to help ensure that no child sleeps outside in our community. Additional event sponsors include: Believer Level sponsors Amazon, Starbucks, and Zillow; Tinte Cellars, Exclusive Wine Sponsor; Advocate Level sponsor Boeing; Alaska Airlines, Official Airline Sponsor; Partner Level sponsors HNN Communities, Holland America Line, and Trifilm, Inc.; Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Official Cocktail Partner; Supporter Level sponsors Biella Foundation, Columbia Bank, Coughlin Porter Lundeen, GLY Construction, Graphite Design Group, Menasha Packaging, Seneca Group, and Vertical Bridge.

  • Sociolinguistic Analysis of Asian American English
    Race and English Language 1 The Identity Behind Funny: Sociolinguistic Analysis of Contemporary Asian American Comedians An Analytical Research Study Jin Jo Jeanne Bohannon, Ph.D. Kennesaw State University Race and English Language 2 Abstract According to the United States Census Bureau, the U.S. population increased 9.7% from 2000 to 2010. Comparably, the population of Asian or Asian in combination in the U.S. has increased 45.6%. As people of minority races in the U.S. grow, so does the representation of them in popular culture and mass media. From ABC’s TV show Fresh Off the Boat to the generation of young Asian Americans starring in their own YouTube videos, a wave of Asian American linguistic presence in media is higher than ever before. In my research, I will discuss a close analysis of sociolinguistics connected to contemporary Asian American comedians in the media to provide perspective on their influence on the general public’s view of Asians. As Author Jess C. Scott states, “People are sheep. TV is the shepherd.” The media lays a foundation to the ideology of Asian Americans for the viewers. Introduction A simple conversation and occurrence catapulted my research into Asian American linguistics in media. I had a conversation with a Caucasian American friend of mine in which I asked him, “If you never met me and talked to me over the phone, would you know by my voice that I am a 30 year old Asian American woman?” He replied, “No, I would think you are a 17 year old white girl.” Another occurrence I recalled was when I attended high school in which a student sitting next to me cheated off my math test without my knowledge.

  • “TERRIFICALLY ENGAGING.” – Variety
    “TERRIFICALLY ENGAGING.” – Variety “BOBCAT GOLDTHWAIT’S MASTERPIECE. A TRULY BEAUTIFUL HUMAN DOCUMENT.” – Drew McWeeny, Hitfix 2015 CALL ME LUCKY a film by Bobcat Goldthwait CALL ME LUCKY is an inspiring, triumphant and wickedly funny documentary with a compelling and controversial hero at its heart. Barry Crimmins, best known as a comedian and political satirist, bravely tells his incredible story of transformation with intimate interviews from comedians such as David Cross, Margaret Cho and Patton Oswalt, activists such as Billy Bragg and Cindy Sheehan and directed in inimitable style by Bobcat Goldthwait (World’s Greatest Dad/God Bless America/Willow Creek). As a young and hungry comic in the early 80’s Barry Crimmins founded his own comedy club in Boston, in a Chinese restaurant called the Ding Ho. Here he fostered the careers of new talent who we now know as Steven Wright, Paula Poundstone, Denis Leary, Lenny Clarke, Kevin Meaney, Bobcat Goldthwait, Tom Kenny and many others. These comics were grateful for Barry’s fair pay and passionate support and respected him as a whip-smart comic himself but, as becomes clear in their interviews, they also knew he was tortured by his past. As archive footage of Barry shows, he was thickly mustachioed, thick set and thinly disguising an undercurrent of rage beneath his beer swilling onstage act. It seemed Barry was the fierce defender of the little guy but also an angry force when confronted. As one of the top new comedians in the country he appeared on The HBO Young Comedians Special, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, Evening at the Improv and many other television shows in the 80’s.

  • Women in Comedy
    WOMEN IN COMEDY BACKGROUND: MAKERS: Women In Comedy tracks the rise of women in the world of comedy, from the “dangerous” comedy of 70s sitcoms like Norman Lear’s Maude to the groundbreaking women of the 1980s American comedy club boom and building to today’s multifaceted landscape. Today, movies like Bridesmaids break box office records and the women of Saturday Night Live are often more famous than their male counterparts, but it didn’t start out that way. Early breakout female comics had to keep their jokes within the safe context of marriage, motherhood, and a man’s world. But they still found a way to be subversive. As Joan Rivers puts it, “I was furious about having to get married… It all comes out on stage. So that’s what I do onstage. I really tell them the truth.” Soon comedy became a vehicle for women to take on some of the most sensitive and controversial issues of the day. On television in the 1960s, entertainers like Carol Burnett and Mary Tyler Moore illuminated the core issues of feminism with humor that was both sly and truthful. But it took a powerful male producer to bring the most provocative feminist characters onto the screen. Maude, who Lear introduced to audiences in 1971, was a feminist firebrand on her fourth husband, strong and independent with a razor sharp wit. “When Maude was on the air,” Lear tells us, “I used to get letters from the First Lady, Betty Ford…. And she always signed every letter ‘Maude’s #1 fan’.” When Maude chose to have an abortion at 47, religious groups protested, but the episode was watched by 65 million Americans.

  • Margaret Cho's Revoicings of Mock Asian
    Pragmatics 14:2/3.263-289 (2004) International Pragmatics Association IDEOLOGIES OF LEGITIMATE MOCKERY: MARGARET CHO’S REVOICINGS OF MOCK ASIAN1 Elaine W. Chun Abstract This article examines a Korean American comedian’s use of Mock Asian and the ideologies that legitimate this racializing style. These ideologies of legitimacy depend on assumptions about the relationship between communities, the authentication of a speaker’s community membership, and the nature of the interpretive frame that has been “keyed”. Specifically, her Mock Asian depends on and, to some extent, reproduces particular ideological links between race, nation, and language despite the apparent process of ideological subversion. Yet her use of stereotypical Asian speech is not a straightforward instance of racial crossing, given that she is ‘Asian’ according to most racial ideologies in the U.S. Consequently, while her use of Mock Asian may necessarily reproduce mainstream American racializing discourses about Asians, she is able to simultaneously decontextualize and deconstruct these very discourses. This article suggests that it is her successful authentication as an Asian American comedian, particularly one who is critical of Asian marginalization in the U.S., that legitimizes her use of Mock Asian and that yields an interpretation of her practices primarily as a critique of racist mainstream ideologies. Keywords: Asian American, Race, Ideology, Humor, Performance 1. Introduction In elementary schoolyards across the U.S., children of perceived East Asian descent are reminded of their racial otherness through ostensibly playful renderings of an imagined variety of American English frequently referred to as a ‘Chinese accent’. This variety, which I call Mock Asian in this paper, is a discourse that indexes a stereotypical Asian identity.
