Las Angelenas Has a New Home

Hello Dear Readers!

Las Angelenas and I have moved to Victoria Namkung. Please update your bookmarks and if I'm on your blog roll please change my link to Victoria Namkung!

I will no longer be blogging here, but will be posting on my main site, which now features a blog simply called Victoria Namkung rather than Las Angelenas!

Thank you!

Opening Night

Excited to check out Chris Natrop's debut at Taylor De Cordoba tomorrow night. Myopic Spring Tangle, featuring various techniques like paper sculpture, is only view through May 15, 2010!

Easter Dinner

This group devoured the crab and garlic noodles at Crustacean on Sunday night.

Asante Sana

Anything you can do to help spread the word is much appreciated by my family and I (and 13,000 kids in the Monduli and Moshi Districts of Tanzania, East Africa)!

The Results Are IN!

Thanks for all the guesses on the Bear Coin Bank. Even though I gave the measurements I don't think people realized that the bear was really heavy and full of all types of coins. It's pretty hard to guess without seeing it in person, but I still had no idea how much was in it and I saw it daily.

I'm happy to report that it had $220.04 and I'm keeping every penny because I put it on an Amazon gift card (normally Coinstar takes a commission). So based on all the guesses Tim was the one who was closest at $210, but since some may feel he had an unfair advantage I am also giving prizes to Dustin and Robin since they tied for second place at $150 each. Congrats guys!

Saturday at A+R's

Saturday morning started with a surprise from my sister: a Boudin sourdough bunny for Easter! After playing some doubles (we tied before we had to give the courts up) we went over to Ayesha and Robin's to watch the basketball games. We got to sample some tasty pickled carrots, pickles and onions that they made and watched Ayesha prepare a delicious piece of lamb for Easter. It was fun being with Elke all day too.

No Joke

For the last few years I've been slowly filling this bear-shaped coin bank my mom bought me at Zipper. It's taken so long because in L.A. you have to save most of your coins for the meters. Well last night Tim topped it off with some coins he had and it's time to take the bear to Coin Star. I wonder how much is in it?

Leave your guess as a comment (if you don't have a Blogger account no worries you can still comment) and the person who is closest will win a special prize (TBD depending on your gender, style, etc.)!

The bear measures roughly 8 inches by 11 inches.

Good luck!

P.S. This is not an April Fool's joke. I am going to cash the bear in this weekend.
