Gold N Rongs

So this weekend, was pretty hectic. Went to Boston with Taiyo Na and Magnetic North to photograph their tour of Beantown. It was pretty cool, these guys are really passionate about what they do, and what their doing is ground breaking for other Asian Americans. Well I followed them around and documented their tour. So here are some of the photos from the tour.

crazy weekend though. On Saturday the first show was at BU. I had gone to the Marc Jacobs store before and bought some stuff. Right after the performance by Taiyo and Magnetic North ended at BU, we rushed out because we needed to get to Northeastern in time for the show. When we get to Northeastern, i realized i had left my bag at BU, but i said whatever, its just material goods, i got work to do here. So i photographed the whole show and such, i gave my homegirl Lucy a call to see if she could find it, but she couldn’t so i was like SHIET. Then after the show, i remember Kevin So had been sitting in our area, called Kevin So, he gave us the number of one of the coordinators who was still there, got in touch with her, and then she said if she gets word, she’d let me know.
The Northeastern show was really good, the crowd was very good, wish they wouldve gotten up instead of sitting down though. But we did go out with some of the crowd to eat after the show, at this spot Peach Farm, the food was good, barely tasted the MSG.
I decided that i’d go to BU this morning and try to see if i can check for myself. I get there the front door of the building was closed. So i being determined, said “F that!” found a back door that was open and found the auditorium it was in, but my bag was gone! So i decided the stuff wasn’t too expensive, so i went back to the MJ store to re-buy.
The store wasn’t going to open till 12, but i was able to talk one of the employees into letting me in to get the stuff, cause of what happened, and he was really cool about it, his name is Van, tall Aussie, and he’s a pilot! So i had some time before i had to meet up with Taiyo and T Vu and D Kan, soo i decided to walk from Newbury Street all the way to South station. It was a good walk, i was using my brand spanking new 50 mm lens. I finally got to walk thru Chinatown, it was pretty cool, nothing compared to NYC, but hey we are the city that was so nice they had to name it twice. I get there, i’m still using the 50mm lens. But i see a shot of the Chinatown sign that i would need my 18-200mm , soo i went inside the station sat down and then changed lens, and took some of the shots. Barely made it onto the bus back to NYC. I swore i had the 50 mm lens in the camera pouch with 3 memory cards in my bag. It might have been me moving shit around in my bag often, cause i kept switch books and rearranging shit, the camera pouch might have fallen out. So when i got home, i couldn’t find the pouch and the memory cards =(, i was soo pissed, but its my fault i guess. I called MegaBus, they said the driver didnt find anything, but they also told me to call again tomorrow. So im crossing my fingers, and going to pray to whoever, can help bring my baby and babies back! The MJ bag of stuff i lost at BU, it was found btw, home girl carrie is going to pick it up for me <3. UGH yea, soo crazy weekend.

BUT!!! it was fun, it was an experience, taught me, i need to stop being a cheap wad and buy a camera bag, if i dont get the lens back, ima need to start saving for a new one. UGH DAMN RECESSION!

But keeping my head up! hope this wasnt too much to read haha.
