Nisei Week is upon us!

I'm really excited about this coming week because usually working during this awesome celebration with all its activities and fun and interesting thing to see. I also really love the artwork for advertising this year Nisei week. So, if you wanna participate in this awesome celebration then break out your summer Yukata, Kimono, and Jinbei and head on down to Lil Tokyo and other hotspots around LA. If looking for Yukata, Kimono, and Jinbei then head on over to the Lil Tokyo Plaza right across from the Nijiyama market to get some authentic Kimonos, there also a shop 1St. called SK Uyeda Store and there is another store in Weller Court called Kimono-Ya.

In my neighborhood, there will be the 4th Friday Food Trucks Event

On August 24-25 will be KCON

which I'm deciding whether or not to go this year but it's a two-day event. It's near K-Town this year so, I had a feeling that was going happen. But I'm really glad that my close friend of mine and DJ for Tune in Tokyo will be spinning the ones and twos of the latest K-pop hits so, please show him some love. If your interested here is the link.
