Omeeh Visits

My friend, Julia (Omeeh) Moon, visited me from Berkeley! We only had one day to hang out~ so we visited the Tim Burton exhibit with Lauren and Lorenz. I thought the exhibit was pretty pricy for what it showed, but it was interesting overall. Tim Burton (of Burbank.. lol) just has so much imagination and talent. I think my favorite part of the exhibit was a house model with Steinboy inside. It was very twisted and ran so many stories in my head. After the exhibit we stopped by Milk for some delicious desserts. Then we sweated it all off by playing Just Dance 2 at my house.

Andy's 40th Birthday

My neighbors had a little party at their house to celebrate Andy's 40th birthday. Oh. my. gosh.. I said it before and I'll say it again.. I LOOOOVE their house!! How is it that we live right next to each other and my house is so blah compared to theirs? It was such a cute little party with an intimate gathering. I loved how everything was set up~ the music, the food, the drinks, the lights. Everyone was so friendly and interesting! My favorite was the cheese table. I LOOVE cheese!! .. And with honey and crackers? YUM!!

THE NAKED & FAMOUS

I cannot wait to see them live on October!!! I already bought tickets for their show at the Music Box. Young Blood is one of my all time favorite songs. *_*

Susan Feniger's Street

Lorenz and I finally went to this restaurant! We ordered the Kaya Toast, Vietnamese Skirt Steak, Tatsutage Fried Chicken, Mango Yogurt drink, Hong Kong Milk Tea, and a Salty Caramel dessert that wasn't on the menu. Our dinner came with free curry flavored rice krispies. Overall, the food was very flavorful, but a little on the expensive side. I wouldn't mind going there again and trying some other stuff on the menu ~ like the Smashed Potatoes!

move, learn, eat

3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and almost a terabyte of footage... all to turn 3 ambitious linear concepts based on movement, learning and food ....into 3 beautiful and hopefully compelling short films.....= a trip of a lifetime.
