	San Jose State Frat Brawl Ends in Death of 23-Year-Old APA By May Chow | AsianWeek Staff Writer On a chilly evening last Wednesday, a young man who was about to begin a new semester in school lost his life during a fight that broke out between two San Jose State University Asian Pacific American fraternities. Police estimate that about 100 members from the Lambda Phi Epsilon and Pi Alpha Phi fraternities met at Flickinger Park in San Jose to settle differences shortly after midnight on Wednesday — differences which still remain unclear to the public — and a fracas ensued. Alam Kim, 23, received a fatal stab wound to his chest that punctured his heart, and four others were taken to area hospitals. Kim, who lived in Los Altos with his parents and aunt, was a junior at SJSU majoring in art and a member of Lambda Phi Epsilon. COMPLETE STORY...

Jazz at Pearl’s in Final Months Pearl Wong looks back at 30 years in the business By Ji Hyun Lim |AsianWeek Staff Writer On a typical night on the corner of Columbus and Broadway in San Francisco, lights from the rows of bars, restaurants and strip clubs flicker like stars. Staring out of the large windows of Jazz at Pearl’s, a 12-year old North Beach establishment, one catches cars zooming by, leaving tracers of brake lights. Homeless men mime in front of the glass barrier to this dim, candle-lit venue. Inside, the drums thump harmoniously along with the saxophone, the piano notes whip across the room and then fade as the drummer picks up his cue for a solo. The room is filled with a comfortably dressed audience. Patrons sit quietly, lightly tapping their fingers on their small tables, feet slightly moving up and down, synchronous to the bass.
