At the start of each session you'll receive a MATCH SHEET, to record all of
your mini-dates. You'll mark down the ones you'd like to see again and give

ABOUT HYPHEN: HYPHEN MAGAZINE is a news and arts magazine that illuminates
Asian America through hard-hitting investigative features on the cultural
and political trends shaping the fastest growing ethnic population in
America. We offer in-depth profiles of change-makers in our community and a
glimpse into the world of artists and writers who are re-envisioning and
rewriting what it means to be Asian American. Through balanced and incisive
reporting and sometimes irreverent commentary, we hold a mirror to the
enormous richness, contradiction, and vitality that define the Asian
American experience to stimulate debate, raise awareness, and build bridges
within and beyond our community.
