Is this considered a tag? No, it’s graffiti. Sotel are still around and here’s a big example of that. The names are still great. Bones, Slugger, and Pelon. Ironically, a childhood friend was called Pelon, since he always had a shaved head. He wasn’t really in Sotel, but had friends who were, and they’d call him that. When do they do this? Middle of the night? During the day? How old are they? 15, 20, 25? Little by little, there’s less and less of them, where do they go? Have they blended into the regular work force? Are they third or fourth generation, or are they newer immigrants? I don’t know if I’m curious just to know, or if I should care.

Sun-Min is about 2 weeks from having a child. So what more is there to do but eat!? Italian food’s the call and at Bucco, you get more than you can handle… Shake David’s hand, he’s a nice guy. On the left it’s sausage. Slightly spicy Italian sausage… can you believe they ran out of penne? On the right is grilled “the other white meat”. Lean and good. As Bon Jovi sang… “whoa… We’re half way there… “ But I could carry out the leftovers in the Uglybag.
