My parent's house to yours. This is just a couple of pictures of osechi. That's what the big New Years meal is called. More food porn later. My mom cooks as good as it can get. Probably like many of yours.
These are eggrolls. I guess finger foods are easy for bigger groups. It's interesting what you can put into an egg roll, it's like leftovers chopped finely. It's weird, but sort of cool. Eggrolls...
The best day at Safe N Save Market on Sawtelle. Dec 31st. It’s the busiest day of the year there, I think, and it’s when all the troops are working. Gregs gets the bags ready, it’s a tough task, since those things are heavy. His greaser style hair sans hairnet is in place. The chops are groomed. He’s ready for the old ladies who are cooking up a storm. Two pieces of mochi and the orange head. This is a plastic coated version. Strange how this is something people buy. Inside there’s mochi, and you eat that later for good luck. Mochi is important for New Years. Just don’t choke on it, people do this annually in Japan. I feel bad for the families who served up the mochi in the soup. A lot of mochi is gone! Sold to families in the area. I bet each family will have a nice day. Let’s hope for that. So much fish goes out for sashimi, they can’t slice it for you. But “hint” get a knife and slice it. It’s not that tough. That’s how busy it is at the S & S on New Years Eve. I told you in the best day of the year there.

The new year is here, a lot happened in 2006 within the GR world. Here’s a few highlights. If you read GR over time, and you’ll know what we’ve been up to. 1) Award at JANM. GR wins an award for being a “visionary in the arts” – something like that. JANM is the Japanese American National Museum.2) Madrid. I went there in Feb to be on a panel discussion on art at ARCO.3) GR helped the Imprint conference, and we even had a sneaker panel that was pretty cool.4) GR goes bimonthly. 6 a year starting in 06.5) I judged at Takashi Murakami’s Geisai art fair. Fun and more.6) I went around the world From tokyo, HK to england (for the Spank the Monkey art show).7) We spoke at Harvard, Walker art museum, and Irvine! There were others, but I can’t remember right now…8) I showed in two art shows, at GRSF (haha)9) Met a lot of great folks and got to see others thru GR. Shepard F, Carlo McCormick, Dzine, Mr Murakami, Ai and Shingo, Dan Wu, Cut & Paste folks, Hiroshi Fujiwara, Jeff Staple, Michael Lau, Towa, Ryan McGinness, John Jay, Everyone who showed art at GR stores, Ashy, Kohei, Taroshooten, Cube, Ray Fong, Nao Harada, Edward Templeton, Gargamel, Kaws, and so many others.10) I curated an art show in upstate NY. St. Lawrence University. There were many other highlights in 2006. This list could probably be 10 entries longer. I think I went to GRNY 6 times, and GRSF 6 times and took a lot of other flights. It’s nice to be back at home for a while. We built a lot in 06 to hopefully set more up for 07. Other than that, all I ask is for people to be fair and decent.
