The Lost Samurai

History was made this year at Thanh & Pam's Christmas Party. Thanks to Joe's timely gift and Thanh's Crown Royal, filming of "The Lost Samurai" began and ended on schedule. "The Lost Samurai" is a story of discipline, brotherhood, and ultimate betrayal. Forget about the Bui brothers, here come the Le brothers!

(Please save the movies to disk before playing. Also, save them one at a time.)

Giant Robot / Art Show Party Pics

Here are some pictures by unje. I found them in the GR Lounge. More pics from randallfairbrook. Its mostly of the pieces that were on display. Ogi rules. Here's Mane-One. He's on the left looking through records while Phong's on the tables. As a sidenote, Mane has a new mix out called "Bridging The Gap". Original samples and all that good stuff. Might be hard to find outside of San Diego. Here's another nice pic. Dubz is the baldy on the left and my brother Phong-One is on the right.

Christel and I managed to sneak into one! Here's a nice one from welovewinter. We bought the Ogi thats way in the back on the left wall; hard to see, but its the last one thats framed. Rockin' it!
