    Nisei Week 2024

    After going to the same event(s) year after year, I wonder if some attendees experience boredom and a need for something completely new and different. I suppose when it comes to a free event(s), you can’t really complain. And it’s that much more difficult to complain when you attend on a day that has not just one event going on, but two or more events! I think the latter is what saved me from feeling bored while out and about in Los Angeles’ Little Tokyo for Nisei Week, Natsumatsuri and Deko Car.

    Meeting Simone Legno at The Gentle Art Exhibit

    I met Simone Legno! At The Gentle Art Exhibit, held at Hyperfly HQ in San Diego, Simone was present to do a meet and greet as well as perform live art on a blank jiu jitsu kimono. I was down for it but couldn’t help but to hesitate at the opportunity since I’d have to drive quite far to make it.

    Tokidoki x ONCH in Santa Monica

    Some time prior to 2024, there was a Tokidoki x ONCH event held at IT’SUGAR in Santa Monica. I attended this event and was thrilled to receive a ticket for a tokidoki gift bag along with another ticket for a chance at winning tokidoki merchandise. Did I win? Read on to find out.

    Songkran at Wat Thai of Los Angeles

    With Thai Town’s Songkran Festival canceled, you’re left with attending temple events only. Out of all the options available, I decided I’d attend the Thai New Year (Songkran) Festival held at Wat Thai of Los Angeles. The event is held for two days straight but you can pick and choose which day you prefer to attend or just attend both days if you can!

    Canceled Again: Songkran Festival

    A Thai New Year festival (Songkran) that I’ve been looking forward to attending in 2024 especially after not being able to attend any Lunar New Year events this year is canceled. Why? I want answers especially when it was canceled in 2023 as well.
