I’m in California once again—though it’s actually been a handful of months since I’ve last been here, possibly the longest I’ve spent not visiting California ever since I moved to Las Vegas. It’s unlucky that I missed the fireworks show at the Stratosphere in Las Vegas, which I would’ve been able to see from the balcony of my condo, but I got to see the fireworks from the rooftop deck of the Tempo Storm team house, which I guess is good enough.

I’m in SoCal for Anime Expo, but I spent Independence Day staying around Beach Cities. I went out to Redondo Beach Pier with a few of our players; I didn’t bring my actual camera, so here is the Pacific Ocean in potato quality from my phone.
