It looks like I’m missing the panel, For the Love of Ramen tomorrow. It’s unfortunate, but a plane ticket snafu is causing this. Ever use a travel voucher instead of an e-ticket? What the heck? No travel voucher in hand means, no plane flight for me. For each panel I’ve been on which take place in other places, I’ve never had to book my own ticket using a voucher. Usually accomodations are taken care of by the folks who want you there. However, the panel should still be great. I might post what I was working on for this panel for you to peruse. Ramen is a fun food and I’ve eaten it on three continents. Asianculinaryforum.

Transformers 2. That’s the red carpet… It was a huge red carpet in Westwood Village for what might end up being one of the biggest movies ever. They blocked off the streets and it was a huge event. Linkin Park played at 10pm after the movie premiere to a packed crowd. They’re calling this a secret show, but it was hardly secret since it seemed like everyone knew what was up. Kroq gave away wrist bands, and one dude got in because he said he was with me. Gladly we got to meet up with Mr Hahn afterwards to say, great job. I’ve known Joe for a bit, and when I met him, I couldn’t say I knew one song by his band, and now I know a bunch. I even shot some video for those of you who couldn’t get in. Check it out at our Youtube channel. Jayne and Noel.

City Girl. What does that mean to you? It’s David Choe’s most popular print, but really… I’ll fill you in. City Girl is the Kevin Shields song from Lost in Translation. At the time, David and I both was digging the movie (even with the racist type stuff in it), and the song was the perfect blend of shoegaze, indie, and everything. Naturally, David combines a cute girl, a city, and a print. Thankfully, a couple years later, we have the shirt. Get it here.

Yes, we all love Lydia Fong who’ll probably be at GRSF tomorrow, along with myself, the GRSF crew, Goh Nakamura who’ll be playing music at some point, probably 830 or 9pm, and hopefully many others. Do say hello. I’ll be hanging out trying to celebrate 15 years. Here’s the website flyer. www.gr-sf.com

That’s Bob-san. Bob Kronbauer who once lived a block away from my house. Bob worked for Girl skateboards, but always had his hands in different projects. He also takes photos and is a nice, understated type of guy. He now has a kid, Arlo and lives in Canada. He was once the proprietor of Crownfarmer and now runs a blog called Clubmumble. I blog there sometimes. It’s skater and art. I sort of fit and don’t, maybe that’s why I’m there. clubmumble.
