UCSD Culture Show



So on March 9th we made a trip down to San Diego to see the very hyped UCSD NSU Culture Show, "Living For Retribution." The show was directed by juniors, Alan Choi and Connie Yiu and included performances by the amazing Rina Nakano, Asayake Taiko and Ascension hip hop dance team...

So we made the supposed 2 hour car ride down to sd. I think i was driving around 90mph or at least trying to most of the was se we got there in about an hour and a half. My legs were so sore when we got there and my car was playing DS the whole freakn way. "I" was so bored. We then pick up some food from the "better than Chano's, Roberto's." Next off to the show...

When we arrived i saw oh so many familiar faces but most, to me, were unfamiliar. I HAVNT BEEN TO AN INC EVENT TO A WHILE. Anyways we seated and were sooooo anxious for the show to begin....

It started by an amazing performance by vocalist Rina Nakano who sang Alicia Keys' "No One." It was followed by the steps of UCSD's hip hop dance team, Ascension. I was pretty entertained but still so anxious for the culture show performance. The skit was pretty entertaining filled with little but hilarious random jokes. The plot was about a young detective who joins a Police force based in LA that specializes in Yakuza activities. As this detective gets more involved with stopping the Yakuza he ends up uncovering part of his past, finding his long lost brother, solving his parents' murder and of course he falls in love. After intermission Asayake Taiko gave a great performance .

Overall i think the show was pretty good. it was filled with lots of random goofy antics and nipple caressing amongst the seriousness nature of the plot. Great job UCSD! We'll see you next year.

On the way back we grabbed so In-n-out and we arrived at usc at around 11:30pm.



see you all next time.
holla at your boy,
