Take it, Ceci

I had lunch at gr/eats with my friend Ceci today. I know her from punk rock shows at UCLA, Jabberjaw, and a ton of other places back in the early '90s, but you might remember her from the article on Thai fruit carving in GR11 (Summer 1998, a decade before that Edible Arrangement chain opened).


That particular article came about because I saw a class on the subject in the L.A. City College catalog, and arranged for a personal class at home. I think there were seven or eight of us. The instructor brought the fruits and vegetables, and we bought custom knives from her.


Here's a closeup of Ceci back then. She's hardly changed. Back then, she was working with kids. Today, she's a lawyer using her powers to protect the people down in San Diego. We caught up on work, but also shared info on old friends. Did you know Carlos from the Peechees is teaching Tango in NYC now? Tango to the people!


Now that we're back in touch, you'll probably see Ceci in this blog again.
