Chunky Things Art Shows

I was fortunate to be a part of two art shows at Chunky Things, an AAPI owned gift shop located in LA Chinatown.

Ranch 99 or 99 Ranch? My parents always say 大華99 (Ranch 99) so that's the only correct answer to me. Nostalgia hits as soon I see the fluorescent lights and the colorful aisles. And memories come to me in pieces -- picking out the best whole fish with my dad, begging my mom to get me lychee jellies, patting every watermelon to check for ripeness. I always leave with a full bag and a full heart.

It's 2008, saturday at 11pm. Parents think you're asleep, but you're really playing mario 64 ds in the dark again. This is why you need glasses now
