These are the people in your neighborhood
The new mag went to press yesterday afternoon. This morning I slept for an extra half hour, went for a run around the lake, and did a load laundry before taking the scenic route to Sawtelle.
Stop 1: Jeana Sohn's street. Before leaving home, I called Jeana to see if she might be walking her dog. I've picked stuff up and dropped stuff of with her before, and we always meet when the aritst is out with her pooch. It's like a dope deal or something. This time, I dropped off some Ivana Wong CDs that Prodip sent from Hong Kong. Jeana was impressed by the packaging, which has her art all over it. At the moment, she's preparing some work for Art L.A. as well as another group show coming up in NYC.
Stop 2: Eungie Joo's driveway. Driving down a Los Feliz sidestreet, I recognized someone stepping out of her house. Crap, it was our friend who curates the gallery at REDCAT! I cranked a U-turn and stopped to say hi. She gave me the lowdown on her recent travels to Vietnam (no photos but lots of food and drink) as well as upcoming shows at the space below the Disney Hall. Sounds like there's some interesting Thai and half-Chinese American stuff coming up...
Stop 3: Wendy's parents house. Tomorrow night, we've got the Pho-dobo-rrito show at GR2. The artists include John Pham (pho), Martin Cendreda (adobo), and Albert Reyes (burrito). Wendys' mom gathered a bunch of Girly Fries purses that Wendy made in conjunction with Martin, and they will be available at the show.
Now I'm back at the mag office, surveying the aftermath of GR46. There's scratch paper, review stuff, and crap everywhere. It's a mess and it needs to be cleaned. Hey, is that leftover chocolate?

Eungie! Man, that's one person I haven't seen in a long time. Next time I'm in LA, I'm hoping I can make a stop at REDCAT.
Can't wait for #46.
