GR Xmas Potluck. So I ended up with Aaron Brown's art, the John Candy candy. After a few prize picks that included politeness of not stealing, someone stole my handmade squid bowl, after I stole it first. So then I stole the art piece, and alas, it couldn't be stolen again.

In the Orange County Register. Take a look at the link, and the jump. Another nice honor, except we got called hipsters again. "For the two hipsters watching the scene from the glass-partitioned room nearby, this is a subtle sign of success. The founders of that Asian pop culture magazine, Martin Wong and Eric Nakamura, watch the boy proudly."
Taken out of context... this is pretty scary. But read...
