It’s Chinese New Year. There are a few times of the year Pokin loves to use as an excuse to have too much food, and apparently this is one of them. Even though none of us are year of the Dragon, dragons seem cool, and Pokin said we can all use some luck, so she went a little bit all out. I do love me some dragons, so I approved.

What started as a small celebration quickly got out of control. Lion dancers, you ask? Sure, why not? For a donation to the school, you can hire the local karate school to come perform. And despite the fact we had this on actual Chinese New Year, they were available! So my bud and Pokin invited way too many people, and we had them all over.

Technically my tag does say “Made in China”, and while I don’t consider this a large part of my identity it is sometimes nice to celebrate. And so celebrate we did!
