Kelly Tzen Tsai’s peformance at the Nyurorican

Spent Friday night for the first time at the Nyuorican. I made the trek over there for my friend Kelly Tzen Tsai’s performance.

 

How did I find out about Kelly??…..

I was invited to this event for APA Month in City Hall. The crowd was definitely a much older and stiffer than you would find at the Nuryorican. Asian/Pacific American performers included singers and formal poets & then Kelly.

Holiday/Christmas Wishlist

All CICF Wishlist items are on our list not only because we love them, but because they are made by small businesses and individuals who have supported and touched our community.

Hello Kitty Stuff - Elizabeth Center
Though I am 27 years old, I still love Hello Kitty! My sister tells me all the time that I’m too old to be carrying My Melody lunchbox, but I say that you’re never too old for Sanrio!

Sterling Silver Jewlery
Canal Street- To most, buying stuff from the small shops that line Canal Street seems to be a lot less legit than buying stuff from Macy’s. As long as the jewlery says 925 or sterling silver on it, it’s just as sterling as the mall stuff. You can get some pretty cool necklaces and earrings for cheap prices for Christmas gifts. You also save enough that you might as well grab something for yourself since it is Christmas! (well…that’s my logic at least)
