i caught a lunar new year celebration at abq's chinese cultural center, which also doubles as lin's martial arts school. the lion + dragon dancers were not at san francisco skill levels, but i appreciated the effort they put into the show (still better than anything i could do). i was also happy about the size of the crowd that showed up to watch- maybe 250-300 ppl. even though i spotted maybe 15 asians total (including the performers), i somehow felt less lonely as an asian in abq, knowing that a small chunk of the population was at least aware of, and interested in learning more about, lunar new year.
