I keep telling myself that you are ONLY moving to LA. That's an hour flight, 5-hour drive, or one miserable 9 hour greyhound trip away, sitting next to some stank dude with a leaking eye pointed straight at me.

and you moving to LaLa shows such an commendable commitment not only to the lovely Steph, but also to your talents and creative path. More power to you lil brother.

It's just that you will no longer be a simple text, skate, walk, bike or call away. I won't be able to googlechat your ass while you sit two feet away from me, and be grossed out by your kombucha addiction. or have you come over to exploit our technical resources (and outsource design jobs only to not credit me properly), or feed you something pretty and tasty that i just cooked up, with just a phonecall. i will miss having you on my short roster of semi-reliable, fully-respectable but under-employed homies with hours as bizarre and flexible/spontaneous as my own.

i will miss the enlightening conversations, the shit talking, the gossiping, the nerding out. and all the ridesharing, from the time i hitched a ride with you and that annoying dude at apature, to the times i was your dj transportation, to all the sojourns to luka's, goldenbull, poleng, etc etc etc. you have been so good to me, even when you've been mean.

i will miss all the dim sum, shandong, 上海小 吃, burritos, whole foods, champa garden sharing, tofu-loving, and your omnipresence at art nite with the eerie light of your laptop making your uni-bomber clad, babyass face glow.

oh boo.

i will miss all the opportunities for either of us to flake on the other (i guess we can still do that though).

i will even miss you boasting of your ill-perceived relative youthfulness, and of the "1/2 generation gap" between us.

i heart you p'doo doo!

you give me hope that there are decent chinese-y men out here, who i am not directly related to. if i did such things, and circumstances god forbid warranted it, i would kill for you, cuzzo.

have an amazing journey in LaLaLand with yo awesome lady and the thriving music scene and downass organizers, teachers, movers and bootyshakers in my hometown. I have yet another reason to make the drive down now. and i echo kiwi in asserting that LA is bout to receive a most ridonkulous blessing with your transplantation there.

can't wait to introduce you to some of the best burritos (stuffed with chile relleno), and veggie food down there. and hit up monterey park with you. haha.

i am too lazy to scan photos, so i leave you with this instead. hahahahahahahahah
