That's a large pic of President Obama's face. I was next to say, "what's up?" It's amazing to see how a President's administration is reaching out just a little bit further to people in different kinds of fields. Would any previous administration do this? I don't think so. Most of the businesses / business people there are hard to figure out. Is what they do any of it of interest to me? I do love...
That’s a large pic of President Obama’s face. I was next to say, “what’s up?” It’s amazing to see how a President’s administration is reaching out just a little bit further to people in different kinds of fields. Would any previous administration do this? I don’t think so. Most of the businesses / business people there are hard to figure out. Is what they do any of it of interest to me? I do love the fact that there was a restaurant owner of a pizzeria chain. There were also reps from small banks, and people in many fields that I’ve never heard of.

I think we are examples of what many or most would call an edgy business, but it’s still a business employing just as many employees as many of the other guests.Here’s a link to the words spoken. Me and Abe. We were there to represent the kids.Of all small businesses in the US, yes, “we” count even if it’s just to be part of a small crowd, and I think this is just the start. Pat and I. We turned around and click / flash. Up close, he’s a cool guy. Hallway photos. I guess it’s good to have family pics up. Pretty nice view of the obelisk This is where we sit. This is the movie theater of the White House. I guess me being of Japanese heritage, I bust out the peace sign. Pat with some tied to Hawaii goes native son with the Shaka and shell toes. Thanks much to Yosi. More coming in the magazine.

The day started off cold. The weather was tough all around. I have no idea why I took this photo. It was in Japantown right across from the Hotel Tomo. Do they look alike? This was my last full day there.
Harry getting ready. Notice the dudes just hang out, and the ladies get pretty.
Just before we're out to get out. I think Harry was nervous.

The day started off cold. The weather was tough all around. I have no idea why I took this photo. It was in Japantown right across from the Hotel Tomo. Do they look alike? This was my last full day there. Harry getting ready. Notice the dudes just hang out, and the ladies get pretty. Just before we’re out to get out. I think Harry was nervous. The Q and A, Harry listens to the David Choe taped message. Strange image, but this is post screening at the Dirty Hands merch table. Harry had fans talking to him, it was great. At the Poleng. Ok. I forget the tallest Asian girl’s name. It starts with an M. That’s Jean Sun on the right. Sheldon and Shilpi Gupta.

Starting early in the day, I walked by this sculpture in the plaza in SF's Japantown. It's by Ruth Asawa. She's a great sculptor that not enough know about. These are made of solid metal, but I like her wire sculptures best. They're pretty insane.
