Issue No. 7 - Slow Season. The slowest month of the year means no work travel and more time in Los Angeles. It also means the return of LAFC and nights at matches with good friends, even if the games (like the dire 1–0 against Real España) are not especially competitive. I visited Japan House in L.A. for the first time and saw a wonderful exhibition on Japanese pictograms. I also attended a GEMA event on the FOX lot to hear the brilliant Akiko Stehrenberger speak about her movie poster design work. It was my first time visiting that lot, and I only wish I had gotten a better photo of the Star Wars mural. My kids and I checked out the Don Toliver pop-up at the Complex shop on Fairfax, I had a great lunch at Chili John’s in Burbank, and I spent many weekend mornings walking around the Silver Lake Reservoir and enjoying February’s sunshine. Enjoy the snaps. See you next month.
