Does this guy look familiar? Is it my uncle? No, it's a depiction of one of the 300 Terminal Islanders from before WW2, who lived there. At one time these folks fished the waters, with rod and reel, and then they were removed to the concentration camps and so forth.

Does this guy look familiar? Is it my uncle? No, it’s a depiction of one of the 300 Terminal Islanders from before WW2, who lived there. At one time these folks fished the waters, with rod and reel, and then they were removed to the concentration camps and so forth. We once explored here with Money Mark issues back, and since then, a monument was made. Tuna street is the same. There’s that one sign which shows you that a Japanese restaurant was once there.

This isn’t a tourist area, so their show is just for the locals. Maybe the prisoners can hear them. Here’s a site on the place. And I guess there’s a doc film too.

That’s Brian Ralph, an old friend who’s in town for the Scion show. I haven’t seen much of Brian lately, but the best thing, he said tonight, was that he was having a good time and he now gets this art show thing. I’ve tried numerous times to get him into shows, and he did some, didn’t do some, but now “gets” it. He’s an artist, and is a great one. It’s time he gets more exposure. Tonight, instead of going back to the hotel, since he doesn’t know a lot of folks here, he went out with FRENCH to a sneaker party! See more photos below, the space is looking good, and this saturday should be a blockbuster show. 7 o the 9 artists are going to be in town, and that’s pretty cool. Hope they have fun.

Minature Golf. You'd think this is near done. I don't hear of anyone trying it. But they still exist usually connected to batting cages. So, we decided to try it out. There's not too much excitement honestly, some of the holes have no tricks whatsoever, it's as if you're just putting in a straight line. I'm thinking, for these to really be cool, they need to work with artists and create a new and...
