For pop culture junkies, it's easy to go way too hard at the Vulture Festival knowing that you could be getting the inside scoop on Syfy's Deadly Class one moment and touring Grand Central Market with Phil Rosenthal and Nancy Silverton the next. We learned our lesson from last year and paced ourselves accordingly on Sunday, focusing … Continue reading 2018 Vulture Festival Los Angeles: Sunday

Meows on Melrose: Cats, Coffee, and Even Co-Working at Crumbs & Whiskers
Alright, alright, I know a good chunk of you are only here for the cat photos, and I promise there’s cuteness to rival the content on r/CatTaps in just a moment. But first, a bit of background... You see, Crumbs & Whiskers founder Kanchan Singh reminds me a lot of myself—a young millennial woman who just loves cats. … Continue reading Meows on Melrose: Cats, Coffee, and Even Co-Working at Crumbs & Whiskers
Millennial Hustle: Akpanoluo Etteh
When I sat down to write this introduction, it took me an embarrassingly long time to remember the when, where, and how I met my friend Akpanoluo U Etteh II, or Ak for short.

Think Piece Roundup: Crazy Rich Asians
For the record: I loved the film adaptation of Kevin Kwan’s bestselling novel. I’m a self-professed romantic comedy junkie who frequently gets suckered into watching any movie even remotely resembling the genre. On top of that, I’m an Asian American constantly tip-toeing the line between being “too Asian” in some contexts and “not Asian enough” in others. … Continue reading Think Piece Roundup: Crazy Rich Asians
An Abandoned Sports Authority Transforms into a Disneyland-Lover’s Dream Exhibit
I was listening to a radio interview with Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard the other day about the rapid changes he's observed in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, his home for the past twenty years. Gibbard noted that his sadness over the morphing urban landscape isn't directly due to buildings being demolished or shops … Continue reading An Abandoned Sports Authority Transforms into a Disneyland-Lover’s Dream Exhibit
