Visiting Albert Reyes always leads to cool things. 1) The art in his house is amazing. We’ve featured that in the magazine before and his studio room of art keeps changing. Original art he got from trades include Matt Furie, Date Farmers, and plenty of others I don’t know so well. 2) His brother is Pimplywimp Ryan Reyes. Hilarious videos. He’s in his own Youtube videos but he’s also in movies. It’s an alternate way to go to be in the business. Is it the real way of the future? Will there be big stars who will one day say, “I started on Youtube”? The cool thing is, you can say you’re always working, and it’s a good way to practice your craft and get feedback. Want to hire him? You can check out his reel without even asking. See his Crispin Glover imitation. The 6th part is actually going up soon! Here are a couple of links to his videos. They’re definitely on the edge and funny.CrispinFart

Jin! No, it's Daniel Dae Kim! No, it's Jin! The funny thing is when you talk to him, he's definitely not Jin. He's born and raised on the east coast and also plays tennis. It's funny, for a sec we geeked out on some tennis jargon talk. We're going hit one day. But I put him on my blog since he visited gr/eats today. His meal is cut off, that's secret.

Jin! No, it’s Daniel Dae Kim! No, it’s Jin! The funny thing is when you talk to him, he’s definitely not Jin. He’s born and raised on the east coast and also plays tennis. It’s funny, for a sec we geeked out on some tennis jargon talk. We’re going hit one day. But I put him on my blog since he visited gr/eats today. His meal is cut off, that’s secret. The Ai Yamaguchi piece is still there. Do know that there’s going to be an upcoming event that I’m proud to be part of that involves Daniel. It’s not official yet, but it’ll most likely be in May and for sure in LA. I’ll drop word when it gets set up. Below we’re outside getting blasted by the sun. 2050 sawtelle Blvd gr/eats. Come on through.

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.
