So I made it to Glendale! Whooh, I know I come here a lot in general, but it seems like there are more and more Armenians every time I come. So far, haven't done much. Just went out for sushi with my cousin Alishan and a few friends. Afterwards, Alishan and I were going to go see Ararat, and wouldn't you know it (of all places... in Glendale) in front of the theater I see my friend Areen whom I met in Armenia being interviewed by Horizon about the film... along with a couple other people. By the way, I plan on seeing this film a hundred times over and over again. But to my dismay, the showing was sold out. Well, I can't complain, actually, I can celebrate. YAY, IT'S SELLING OUT!!!!!! So we went out with a few of those guys: ANC folk. We went out for a few beers and all we could talk about was Ararat. As Shooshig expressed, it is so refreshing to see all Armenians rallying around this film. It's such a proud time for all of us.

Tomorrow I see Shant whom I haven't seen since Armenia. Considering we were inseperable there, this is going to be a happy reunion. But it all boils down to this... the Armenian Music Awards. Sounds kinda silly when I say it, but I gotta say, I'm excited to see something new. This is definitely new in my book.

Oh Shooshig, I'll e-mail you back, but yes I'm here on Monday, so let's hang out. Small freakin' world. Raffi Niziblian is in Armenia finally meeting all the repat loggers, and I'm over here in LA hanging with another fellow Diaspora logger. Raffi Kojian, what have you created?
