I love sushi!
My favorite sushi spot in the world is Sushi on The Rock in La Jolla, ripping!

Shimogamo in Chandler, AZ is awesome, great feel, vibe, and the fish is on point!!!!!!

Scion sponsored the event so they had an event called Scion Exposed with a gang of Scions even having them join the TOP16 on track for opening ceremonies, was cool…
