did you know?

Long Yang was a handsome youth, born in China around 260 BC. He became the favorite of Anxi, a ruler of the Wei kingdom. Their relationship is recorded in the Annals of the Warring Period, and celebrated in a lovely poem by Ruan Ji (210-263 AD). You can read about the story behind the name, written by a member of our Boston chapter. It is definitely a worthwhile read.

Text Box: When is our next event? Click here to see what’s coming up! If you are a member of LYCLA, and you want to host a get-together (potluck, party, movie night, game night, wine-tasting) or suggest an outing (beach, tennis, movies, hiking, dinner), please contact us. We would be happy to help you organize and publicize the event.

The first Long Yang Club was founded in London in 1983 and is now the world's largest gay "East-West" group. From this beginning, the Long Yang Club now encompasses no less than 35 local groups or 'Chapters' located in cities in 9 different countries spanning 4 continents. It is truly a "global village". All Chapters are members of the umbrella body Long Yang Club International ("LYCI"). Membership in any Chapter is honored by all the other Chapters around the world. Each Chapter is independently managed, but all share the same "family" name and the same logo. This logo is a "two hands friendship" design. It is actually a stylized but distinctive version of the "Yin Yang" concept.

Opportunities!

Would you like to host a Potluck Party at your place? You will have our help in promoting the event and preparing if needed, as well as clean-up detail. Typically our LYCLA parties draw a crowd of 25-50 guys. Respond

If you would like to host a smaller gathering, for instance, a movie or game night, that would be great too. The more intimate gatherings are easier to plan, and we would normally set a limit of 10 or so people (however many your home or apartment allows). Respond

There is also the possibility of small get-togethers at outside locations, for instance, a coffee shop in WeHo, Long Beach, OC, Pasadena, San Gabriel Valley or San Fernando Valley. These gatherings are totally informal, come as you are events, and are open to anyone who shows up. Respond

For our second Long Yang Club foodie event on Friday, June 12th some os us met at

Honda Ya Izakaya in Little Tokyo for... Izakaya (“Japanese tapas”), then afterwards traipsed down the bustling, happening, hip neighborhood for ice cream and mochi. Yum! Great food and even better company.

On June 14th a group of us ducked out of the Pride festival briefly to enjoy the new movie Dim Sum Funeral at the Sunset 5. The movie was gay-friendly, a lot of fun and I think we’d all recommend it. If you get a chance to see it, do so! Seriously, you’ll laugh! You’ll cry!

Text Box: ~ 14 hungry club members met for awesome Dim Sum @ King Hua in Alhambra, and afterwards for boba, shave ice, and iced coffee at Tea Station down the street. Some brave souls then drove to Long Beach to go kayaking, or ventured into the Hollywood Hills for GameDay (see below) ~

Club members Mikey and Pup hosted another Gameday on Saturday afternoon and evening, June 27 at their home in the Hollywood Hills. Stay tuned for details of their next event! GameDay is : good food, swimming, and of course board games and card games galore...

Bo 7 Mon at Thien An = lotsa beef, some delicious catfish, salad, mint leaves, café sua da

We sure chowed down at Thien An in Garden Grove on July 5th. Joe’s Gelato followed. :)

Little Malaysia

~ 19 of us met for Malaysian food in El Monte on Aug. 9th. It was great to meet up with new friends and enjoy the food together. Afterwards some of us visited the nearby Buddhist temple to pray for a slimmer waistline. LOL ~

Bueno Parkay, Potluck Partay

Fun time chatting and eating @ Dennis’ place in Buena Park, Saturday July 25th. Thanks to Dennis for hosting! And everyone for bringing delicious food esp. Ken for his kabasa and cosmos. ;>
