I haven't had very much exposure to "underground" productions, and I definitely wasn't prepared for the content or presentation of Terminal USA or JJ Chinois.

It's actually very funny that I was so surprised, because I thought I knew exactly what JJ Chinois would be about after Prof. Lee's references to its transsexual themes. I've attended a couple of fashion shows/beauty pageants featuring transgendered individuals in San Francisco, and a disproportionate number of the contestants were Asian, so I thought "JJ Chinois" might be a look into this potentially "underground" culture.
