Guess my 15 minutes of fame are up. They fixed the glitch. Sorry for disappointing everyone!

I'm an Artist?!

Apparently, so is Mark and a number of other users.

Oh, dear. This shows up in the "Artist Updates" section, too.

I'm not a fan of beer, but as many people know, there is one that I'm particularly fond of and I just discovered today that the Korean market on Geary actually sells it now. w00t!

Saw this on Jane's blog and thought it would be a fun thing to do. Basically, I went around the house and took a picture of something which represents one of the eight colors in the standard box of crayons: blue, red, yellow, orange, green, purple, brown, and black. She added a little rule where you can't use the same object for different colors.

Blue: Wushu belt
Red: Envelope with our family name
Yellow: My toothbrush cup
Orange: Nike shoe boxes
Green: Compost container
Purple: Jacket on stuffed panda
Brown: Couch in living room
Black: PlayStation 2

 

Here's the video I put together from the footage I took at the Martial Arts Benefit for Quake Victims last Saturday night. (Note: None of it is sped up. They are really moving that fast.) I didn't film everything, but they're planning to put a DVD together of the event, so I'll probably get a copy when it comes out.

Last night was the Martial Arts Benefit for Quake Victims, which was put together by the Tiger Claw Foundation and held at the Santa Clara Convention Center. We were invited to perform along with a number of schools from around the Bay Area. Each of us, therefore, were only given about a 5-minute time slot. As it was a fundraiser, performers were also asked to pay the $20 admission fee.

According to the Consulate General, the Bay Area has raised $1.34 million so far

Since food was not going to be provided, Aya and I stopped by Japantown in San Jose beforehand for dinner, as it's been a few years since I've been there and I was craving Minato rolls (spicy tuna rolls w/secret sauce). Luckily, it wasn't too crowded when we got there, so we got a table fairly quickly. We got two orders of Minato rolls and split an order of their world famous teriyaki spareribs. *drool*

My palate has never been so happy

When we arrived at the venue, there was a huge line of people waiting to purchase tickets and already a big crowd seated inside. The event started late and we didn't go on until around 10 PM. Enjoyed watching the other performances, but thought it was inappropriate when the capoeira group was chanting "Free Tibet!" after theirs. I'm going to try and put a video together from all the footage I took.

2,000+ people in attendance, $55,000 raised
