We all know Thursdays are the new Fridays. Last night, opening reception at the new gallery on Fairfax, Country Club. Ran into a bunch of friends and found ourselves exploring John Pham’s studio at Family Bookstore, Turntable Lab, newstands, and the best Kal Guk Su ever, Myoung Dong Kyoja.

Raina Lee reveals John Pham’s secret laptop case! Aaaawwwww.
