FREE TICKETS for The Fray at the Greek

Tokyo Fast Food: Awesome Cheap Sushi! Shhhh!
I think I’ve found my favorite sushi place ever. And my hairdresser Grant at Floyd’s is going to kill me since he told me about it but followed up this reveal with, “But you can’t write about it cuz I don’t want anyone to know about it.” And I probably wouldn’t have written about it…

That way I have something unique to show off when cruising around back home instead of something that I throw into the memory box under my bed. So I was really excited when I came across the…
