My favorite viewpoint.
Brunch at The White House in Laguna Beach, CA
Gelato from Gelato Paradiso in Laguna Beach, CA
I'm really trying to get into photography and editing, so please bear with me.
Until next time!

Making the move from OC to LA (or "beginners LA" aka Long Beach)
It was my final weekend of living in the bubble, and it was the closure of an amazing year of living with my best friend aka soul sister aka "dayuno" aka real cousin. In celebration I visited my favorite view point, brunched and grabbed some gelato - you know Southern California thangsss.
Post Comedy Show Review
As promised, I said I would review the FREE Comedy show I attended last Tuesday!
I will rate on a scale of 1-5, with 1 being horrible and 5 excellent.
The lineup:
Nick Guerra, Finalist of Last Comic Standing - 3.5
Nick kicked off the show and warmed up the crowd with jokes about his lesbian look, his short height, difficulties of men meeting women while clubbing, and fighting in public with your girlfriend. All around he did a good job of getting the crowd going and was a great lead off comedian.
Shaun Latham - 4
Shaun came on after Nick. Not sure if maybe he dealt with a lot of issues in connection with his lazy eye, but it seems to have effected him so much that it made up a big portion of the beginning of his skit. I was already assuming he was going to be a "dud", until he started joking around about the PWR 106 commercials and how "urban" they make them. I have been a PWR 106 listener since I was pretty much born, so he definitely won me over with this portion of his skit. It was so hilarious it had me in tears. Although, half of the audience was of Caucasian descent and really didn't get it, I was really thankful he wasn't afraid to use the material. It really made my night, and Shaun won me over with it. He did a great job! I look forward to keeping my eye out for him on television.
Kristin Key - 3
Kristen Key, aka lovechild of Ellen Degeneres and Jane Lynch - her words not mine, was pretty impressive. At first, she joked about how much she looked like Ellen and Jane, and then she moved on to raunchier stuff like "lesbian activity". To me, its not really my cup of tea. But, it was okay once we got through it. Eventually she got to her good stuff. Comedy while folk singing. When she came out with her guitar I was curious as to whether a) she would be good at it; and b) whether it would take up her whole skit? I really didn't want to sit through a mini-comedic concert, however the amount of time she incorporated her 2 songs was just enough. She definitely has that fun comedian personality, similar to that of Amy Schumer. One to watch out for.
Michael Yo - 4
Last, but not least, Michael Yo. Going into the show, I was expecting only Michael Yo to really come through. However, as you can see most of the comedians brought their A game. However, like a seasoned pro, Michael Yo surveyed the audience and performed to the crowd of mostly middle-aged Caucasians and a good amount of Asians. He did throw in a few jokes for the younger crowd and the minorities in the room, but mostly catered to the "adult over 35 crowd". Although, he limited his material he was still great to watch live. He did not disappoint. I do have to say Michael Yo is definitely appreciative of his fans. Immediately after closing the show he was out in the lobby ready to meet, greet and take pictures with his fans, including me! Although, I did as for a double-whammie with him and Nick Guerra!
Hopefully you have all enjoyed my review! Until next time!

Free Comedy Show Tickets?! Pleasant Surprise!
So, my boss was purchasing his tickets for the Dana Point Food, Wine and Music Festival yesterday and after his purchase he was notified by Eventbrite of free tickets to the Irvine Improv! He forwarded the email and I got to wondering whether it would be worth it or not. I felt like maybe they would have under-par comedians that I wouldn't want to see whether the tickets were free or not. Or, on the upside, it would be a delightful surprise of a humorous comedian line-up. I figured I had free time anyway, so why not give it a try?!
