So far, in this lifetime, I’ve been very fortunate to have made some great friends and supporters.
This is the premier ski & snowboarding community in the San Francisco Bay Area with over 5,600 members (and growing), founded in 1999 by my brother Tim Pham.
Daniel Do is my buddy from high school. He’s a sponsor of my Kickstarter project. He’s also doing the photography for A Culinary Odyssey.
Karuna Healthcare is my friend and physician Mai Phuong Nguyen’s brainchild. She’s setting up an online healthcare service that provides affordable instant care. Her site is under construction. Please visit again in 2 weeks.
Deb Durant is an old friend from way back when we were both struggling artists. We’ve cheered each other’s successes over the years. She’s a custom jewelry designer whose sensibilities and artistry I admire deeply.
Noeteca Cafe & Wine Bar is my favorite chill place in SF–a warm beautiful space with espresso, cakes, food, and fine wines of terrific value–some of the smartest choices I’ve ever seen. Voted BEST WINE BAR by SF Weekly & SF Bay Guardian. The proprietors Alex, Scott, and Shane are good friends of my brother Curt.
Jeff Guerrero Ceramics is a sponsor of my A Cullinary Odyssey Kickstarter project. He is also the publisher of the very cool magazine Urban Velo. As the translator of Last Night I Dreamed of Peace, I was very honored to receive this beautiful commemorative plate from Jeff. It sits in a prized position on my limited shelf space.
Brian QTN is an awesome character, song writer, singer, guitarist, free spirit, soul man, and adventurer. I know few people who logged more miles in a year than Brian. I met him in Portland, OR, and wrote a little about him in Catfish and Mandala. He makes “acoustadelic gypsy-hoopla-folk-bop medicine-mojo” music.
Siewyee Lee is a desk jockey whose passion is photography and whose dream is to gallivant across the globe capturing beauty with her camera. View her work at http://istockphoto.com/
