The Nakamura Trio. I’m Nakamura 1, Tad, 2, and Goh 3. This sounded like a joke, three guys who happen to have the same last name on a panel together, but guess what? It worked. We’re spread across different disciplines in a way that’s perfectly apart, yet similar in worlds that we actually mesh. We can answer the same questions in different ways, with our own experiences. I realize that Goh is all about being real and holding not too much back. I try and do the same. Tad meanwhile has a strong ethnocentric view without being boring – much like his films. What an interesting poster! I wanted one, and they gave me one, then it disappeared. Hope I can find one, one day. Anyone at Columbia peel one off the wall for me? About 50 or so came out. ASO Asian Student Organization came out in numbers. These dudes make cool zines in Chicago. Zines are the heartbeat of publishing. I know there’s more photos of us with the folks who came through! Ryan Yokota – The World is Yours! He’s in Chicago now. It’s been ages since I’ve seen him. I was kidding around saying Tad is the Asian Tupac. I dunno why that keeps popping into my head. Tad played varsity safety for Culver City high school and was the team captain! We’re now at Mirai after the talk. It’s one of the better spots in Chicago for Sushi. It’s Alice’s birthday! She’s a supporter and friend of the film festival.

Fried and fried. Fish and Chips gr/eats. Beer battered cod, so it's actually light and crisp. The malt vinegar is a nice touch, and I ate this entirely with my hands. We've been running this special lately and it's been quite fun to have. I can't eat this one too often, but it's good and filling.

We’ve been running this special lately and it’s been quite fun to have. I can’t eat this one too often, but it’s good and filling. Anne Matsushima and Alex Chiu doing the gr/eats. They do a bunch of indie projects, zines, art, and are making a collective of artist on the westside of LA. Motivated! They also dig doughnuts. It’s that season. Cherry Blossoms on Sawtelle. It’s awesome how pink they are. I’d get out to the street this weekend to check on them. A ton of images of Patchwork show at gr2. Tons of great art by great folks.

Backyard BBQs are usually about hot dog, hamburgers, and maybe chicken. That's what you do on the bare minimum. Sho from Yoshi's in San Francisco does things differently when food is involved. He goes all out. It's not an event to miss. Here's Sams hands making toro sushi. It's obviously amazing. Look at the pink color.

Backyard BBQs are usually about hot dog, hamburgers, and maybe chicken. That’s what you do on the bare minimum. Sho from Yoshi’s in San Francisco does things differently when food is involved. He goes all out. It’s not an event to miss. Here’s Sams hands making toro sushi. It’s obviously amazing. Look at the pink color. Sushi was being made inside the house while a BBQ of amazing flavors happened outside. Look at the rich orange color of this uni from Hokkaido. The label is below. The package it came in still had the shipping labels from Japan. Uni is usually a lighter orange, this one possessed a deep, rich color and tasted that way too. The kitchen arena The ikura was also a deeper orange than what you typically see. Sam dealing with the ikura Miles Nakamura and Daniel Wu. What kind of kicks are those? Sho with the straw hat holding a bag of marinated tongue which was amazing.
