Life in LA (4)

The season is upon us!

Barbeque season is around the corner.  I can't wait.  This is an old picture from '04.  May each year get better...

As a preseason warm-up, Denise bought some barbeque before we left for Danny's wedding (shhh!) on Saturday from the grill outside Albertson's.  It was awesome :)


Congratulations Hien and Danny

So Hien and Danny got married today.  Nothing much more to say except thanks for letting me be a part of the celebrations.  Hope you guys are having a good time in Hawaii. 

Check out some of the pictures John and Denise took:











Full set is in the gallery
 

Pasadena Fires

My house is pretty close to the San Gabriel foothill area, so the fire that started up this weekend has been acutely affecting us over here.  The skies have been a dim grey and flakes of ash are floating down to the earth like snow.

My boss, who lives quite close, has already been evacuated.  Her car was covered with soot from all the brush burning up and her husband mentioned they were able to hear the crackling of the blaze throughout the night.

Thankfully, no casualties have been reported yet, but there have been several close calls including a trapped wedding party and a squad of firefighters who all made it out safely in the end.

They're hoping the slight drop in temperatures being forecast for the rest of the week will help prevent the fire from spreading, but of course, these things are hard to predict.  Last I read, they're still expecting about a week before things may return to normal...

Maid cafe LA??

Apparently LA's first cosplay restaurant/cafe will be opening soon.  There's some conflicting information about the actual opening date for the cafe section, but the gallery section had an opening event last week.  If you're into it, check it out - it's a maid cafe/art gallery out in Culver city called ROYAL/T.  Although from the looks of it, it's quite different from the ones in Akihabara.

The PORTA-PARTY from the video looks cool.



Bizarre.
