    So I want to introduce you to a couple I've spent a lot of time with over the last few months. Lawrence and Carla McCue have been married for almost 31 years and live in their car with their dog Oreo.

    If does $18m, it will be a *gigantic* milestone for Asian Americans in film. I think it’ll do better. Side note: History will record as the key performer in the two most transformative works of Asian American Hollywood media in the modern era.

    I stopped by Olvera Street, which that NYT travel essay appeared to call “the source of all useless items in the world.” Here are a few photos to give you a clue why L.A. Twitter got real whipped up about it.

    Honored to deliver a eulogy at Jonathan Gold's service today. It's hard to come up with words that convey what he means to our city as a writer. So instead of coming up with my own, I a read a cut-up poem crafted from the best lines of his reviews:

    tacos forever, and Jonathan too. His funeral songs were The Germs “Forming” and Dr. Dre’s “Nothing but a G Thang,” and he served Kogi, Mariscos Jalisco, Guerrilla Tacos and Zacatecas-style burritos (La Palma) after his service. We truly did lose a great one.

    Saturday at 11am is presenting a two hour long tribute to food critic Jonathan Gold on what would have been his 58th birthday. Tomorrow night when you see LA landmarks lit up with gold, stop for a moment and think about his legacy to LA. Pour one out for him.
