Lao New Year Festival:
Good FOY, TammyC mentioned a couple of them to me, but due to my schedule I'm not able to attend. Another frequent reader Andrea asked me if I could mention the Lao American Coalition's Lao New Year Festival at the Buddhist Temple on Market Street on April 16th and 17th, as well as a Lao New Year gala at the Jacob Center. You can find more information here. Good luck Andrea!
Yes Ed, Hoai Hue Restaurant is still open:
I managed to grab a bite with Ed from Yuma on one of his all too infrequent visits. He mentioned that he believed that Hoai Hue Restaurant had closed, since he couldn't find the place. He ended up eating at Danang instead…. not a bad alternative. I asked Ed if he was looking for the old location. But he assured me that he was looking for the new location. So I drove by today….and Hoai Hue is still the Ed!
