    OK...we had a fun event for the closing of my five month long first ever exhibition of all my Nihonmachi Street Fair posters at National Japanese American Historical Society's Peace Gallery. It was attended by about 12-15 people.

    After the sketching, we made yakisoba and gyoza's. It was the first time I ever used yakisoba noodles. good thing Grace Horikiri and Pat Fong DeSilva stepped in to help cook because I would've messed it up for sure. I used gyoza skins too which is much thinner than the potstickers skins I've been using regularly. I used my electric skillet to do all the cooking. Other people also brought some food. We had a whole bunch of spam musubi's made my Chris Fujimoto and Jane Ma and family.

    Everyone had a good time. Food and art are always winners.

    Well...that was the official closing of the exhibition. They don't have anything else planned at the moment so it'll remain there till they decide on the next exhibt which can happen at anytime. If you still want to check out the exhibt, call them and ask.
