After a long two week break, the Tuesday Night Cafe has come back around. There are a few developments this week that make this edition truly special:
- This is the first outdoor show of the season, as the Cafe returns to the Aratani Courtyard
- Longtime favorites David Tran and the Fighting Cocks will be performing and a special collaboration between DJ Ant, DJ op+imis+, and Shin Kawasaki is happening
- DJ op+imis+ helms his final show as resident Tuesday Night DJ. He is moving to greener northern pastures, so make sure to buy him a beer and wish him well!
This show is not at Lost Souls Cafe, but once again at the Aratani Courtyard. You might be missing Lost Souls' sandwiches and ube shakes but now you can enjoy spam musubi and Sapporo.

Once again on this third Tuesday of the month, The Tuesday Night Cafe returns for another great evening of art and expression. Whereas the last episode featured a lot of longtime TNC favorites, this week features a lot of fresh names some people may not be familiar with. Janet Cruz, Jason Oymun Fong, Kiki Inomata, and Liane Tominaga are just some of the exciting talent coming by, and as always the Open Mic will be available.
Don't forget that this show will at Lost Souls Cafe, NOT at the usual Aratani Courtyard/Union Center for the Arts (in front of East West Players). Enjoy selections from their unique menu or take advantage of their free wi-fi while you take in this Tuesday Night's entertainment.

There are lots of reasons to go to Little Tokyo Service Center's upcoming event, "La Vida SAKE". Do you enjoy the occassional glass of warm rice wine? Come learn about and sample a variety of Sake. Feel more like satisfying your taste of gourmet food? Indulge yourself with hors d'oeuvres from some of LA's top restaurants. Perhaps you are a big fan of the classic Funk/Rock band War. Well at "La Vida SAKE", you get an exclusive look at an exhibition on the Low Rider. The lineup is stacked for this week's installment of the Tuesday Night Cafe. A couple of interesting collaborations will be taking place, with Bolohead teaming up with DJ Ant & +he op+imis+; and Edren Sumagaysay joining forces with Shin Kawasaki. Longtime favorites Jason Geaga Yap and Alfie Ebojo will be making their first appearance for this season, and of course the Open Mic will be available.
