I went to see Lords of Acid and My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult Tuesday July 13 at Studio 7 in Georgetown. I listened to them when I was a teenager and it was cool to see them live. The venue sucked and I gave them a bad yelp but both bands were good. […]

On Saturday April 3 I went to a conference sponsored by Supreme Master Ching Hai in UW’s Meany Hall. I found out about the conference from handbills and posters that were circulating around the neighborhood. It was advertised as a series of lectures on environmentalism, vegetarianism, sports fitness, and family fun on paper and on […]

I always try to get involved in any drama I see on the street. Today I had business in International District and at 5th and Jackson, a busy place near Uwajimaya grocery store, a girl got mugged. I did not actually see it; I was nearby and I heard a scream. A girl was on […]
