Hadn’t seen Joezinho in ages!
He wanted to go to ‘the castle’, which ended up being Gyeongbookgoong palace. I’ve been here many times as a kid but Yosha’s never been so I agreed to go.
This kid looks SO determined after seeing them bboy! too cute…
warning: picture overload
so how was your fourth of july? mine was spent with friends and some goood fooooood…it was the best!
had a little bbq at my place
with the help of these girls + sarah
and my hardworking Bam <333
our drink station. the strawberry+lychee punch was a hit! the lychee masked the taste of the rum so we ended up putting in close to 2 liters of rum. i admit i got a little tipsy with just half a cup.
the snow cone machine was also a hit.
we had a station set up with various toppings and syrup, turning it into an asian shaved ice station. much more delicious, imho.
folded napkins by my lovely slaves…i mean girlfriends.
grilled corn with secret sauce+coconut toppings, lentil+couscous salad, the BEST potato salad in ze world, baba ghanoush
and of course there was dessert. raspberry and lemonade pie. that’s sarah preparing to cut the pies, she was the culinary mastermind behind this bbq. love her.
it was great to see my friends enjoy themselves.
and get their drink on.
and blow bubbles
lots of people came and went during the 12 hours we were chillin’ in my backyard. the party went from 4pm to 330 in the morning!
and of course a keg stand must occur when there is a keg. oy.
much thanks to Neil at Biergarten for hooking it up with the Sapporo.
Howdy. Last weekend was spent in front of the TV, eating junk food and consuming a LOT of PBRs and slurpees. It was nice.
Sunday night, my babies came over and made us dinner.
Blurry pic, but still cute. Sinae eating a peach.
Grilled chicken breast with peach marinade and grilled peaches. Look at that steammm
On the side we had lime+cilantro coleslaw and toasted baguette with goat cheese on top. I drank wine out of a mug. Classy, right? The wine bottle had a twist off cap too.
Dessert: strawberry shortcake! with sara lee poundcake yum.
Echo Curio at night. We were surprised when we were approaching the spot because it didnt look like this at all during the day. It was actually easy to miss. At night, it’s the poppin place of echo park.
more people spilling out from the insides out to the streets

a lot of friends rolled through
and made us feel real special.
eric! hehe
me and charles, the man who brought it all together. man, i did not let go of that cup the whole night.
as the night slowly came to a close, the crowd died out and there were a few remaining…
some were just chillin…
…and some kept on dancin.
here’s a little video i made when it was a little less crowded. aactually it was still a little packed
anyway, fun night! we made some money for the charities and everyone had a good time. thanks for coming out people!
