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.

Songkran at Wat Thai of Los Angeles
With Thai Town’s Songkran Festival canceled, you’re left with attending temple events only.

I should’ve known that it wouldn’t actually start at 8 am because most Southeast Asians just don’t start anything on time. When I got there, they were still preparing for the event. I suppose with me being one of the early birds present, I could have easily gone around booths to get free totes and whatnot but in the end of it all, I ended up just not bothering to do so.
