Everybody Loves Ramen Elite Event @ Shibari Organic Ramen
Student of ramen eating: [voiceover] One fine day… I went out with an old man. He’s studied noodles for 40 years. He was showing me the right way to eat them. Student of ramen eating: Master… soup first or noodles first? Old gentleman: First, observe the whole bowl. Student of ramen eating: Yes, sir. Old gentleman: Appreciate its gestalt. Savor the aromas. Jewels of fat glittering on the surface. Shinachiku roots shining. Seaweed slowly sinking. Spring onions floating. Concentrate on the three pork slices. They play the key role, but stay modestly hidden. First caress the surface with the chopstick tips. Tampopo

Southern California Comics
It was long ago but I still remember that unique scent of comics. Boxed up sitting in plastic bags the scent when you first step into a comic book shop is inescapable. House of Comics on Broadway was the first comic book shop I visited. My mom would get her hair done a few businesses away while I wandered down the rows of cardboard boxes filled with comics. Comic Kingdom on University Av was the next shop I visited. I found it in a ad in a comic book. I could bike there and it was bigger. Golden State Comics off of Adams Av was next. It was the closest…
