Thanks to a reference from my friend Xib, I got invited to table at a small arts festival celebrating AAPI Heritage Month at Google Fremont! It was a short and sweet affair, but I admit I was pretty excited to check out the fancy Google campus and eat their free food!
Post show write-up: It was really fun catching up with my neighbours since I knew literally everyone at the show. Xib, Aimee, Hannako, and Kiri were all there - Asian artists represent!
David was my driver/helper/booth babe, because we actually found his car! Funny story time: we spent the better part of the other night walking around Downtown Seattle in search of his car, a brand new Toyota Avalon. He drove down for our date night, we played DDR and had dinner, and then he proceeded to completely forget where he parked his car. I found this to be hilarious and endearing, but he looked really stressed and embarrassed about it all night. So I had to resist the urge to laugh at him until we finally found his car in a Diamond parking lot after walking around aimlessly for nearly 3 hours. (I have a silly “cellphone nickname” for all my friends, and his nickname is now “Lost-Boy.”) Alls well that ends well, and I’d say it was honestly one of the most fun date nights I’ve had.
I was annoyed about one thing at the end of the night, though: I freaking lost at “321 Stars” in DDR. >:C
