Local Author Event: Seattle Samurai

Kelly Goto's new book, Seattle Samurai: A Cartoonist's Perspective of the Japanese American Experience, is a commemoration of the life and work of not just her father, but also the early Japanese immigrants of Seattle and those who came after. This beautiful coffee table book celebrates the art and life of Kelly's father, Sam Goto, and features many strips from his 2012-2018 comic strip Seattle Tomodachi, alongside gorgeous photography. Sam was a longtime Seattle and Mercer Island resident and began Seattle Tomodachi at the encouragement of his wife, Dee, as a way to help fund the Japanese Community and Cultural Center of Washington's (JCCCW) weekly ad in The North American Post, Seattle's Japanese American newspaper. Now, Kelly is releasing this book as a way to honor her father and his part in Seattle history.

Seattle Tomodachi is a must-read for those interested in the history of the Japanese community in Seattle and the wider Pacific Northwest. The comic follows the fictional Shigeru Tomo (influenced by the life of real Shigeru Osawa, believed to be the first second-generation Japanese born in Seattle) as he strives to live the samurai way. Shigeru's adventures are also inspired by Sam's own experiences and those of Seattle's Japanese American community: the building and funding of the new Japanese Language School in downtown, the importance of Japanese merchants in the Klondike Goldrush, the founding of Uwajimaya (one of my favorite stores to visit for a wander), the discrimination many Japanese American's faced. Full of the values that Sam believed in and passed down to his children, this book exemplifies the joy that Sam lived his life with.

Join us and local author Kelly Goto on Wednesday, October 23 from 6:30 to 8:00pm, to celebrate the launch of her book, Seattle Samurai: A Cartoonist's Perspective of the Japanese American Experience. We can't wait to celebrate with these Mercer Island residents and longtime friends of the bookstore! Books can be purchased beforehand or at the event, and Kelly will be signing after discussing the book with us. Drinks and appetizers will be available, and proceeds from book sales will be donated to the JCCCW.

keep getting this error -> happens when i try share the bed platonically with sam on a rayyan route <//333 - think it broke with the new kofi update lmao || 5-2_samsaturday line 58: It is illegal to fall in to an *else statement; you must *goto or *finish before the end of the indented block.

Heya!! Sadly this means you'll need to restart a new save from the beginning :(

[preciouslandmermaid]

I don’t think Watcher has enough content for an independent steaming service.

I look at Dropout - a service that came to be after CollegeHumor WENT BANKRUPT - whose CEO Sam Reich has not taken pay raises for the past like three years if I remember right to ensure the company continues to be successful, creatives are paid, new shows are produced etc etc. There are HOURS of content on Dropout, even beyond the Dimension 20 series, which has some entire seasons still on Youtube.

I watch Watcher for GhostFiles. And it’s likely an expensive production with travel, equipment, editing, etc. It might even be their most expensive production tbh.

So, from a business standpoint, I understand why they’re trying to have their own service outside of Youtube. Youtube (like Twitch) has a monopoly on streaming content. You need a video of something ? You goto Youtube.

I assumed that they were supplementing Youtube monetization with Patreon. But now I’m not too sure.

Unfortunately, the market as it is with DOZENS of streaming services, is not sustainable.

Like off the top of my head we’ve got : Amazon, Hulu, Disney, Netflix, Peacock, Paramount, HBO, Starz (granted, some of these started as streaming services while others like Peacock branched out from NBC/Cable). There’s even streaming inception where you have let’s say Amazon Prime but then add “Discovery plus” to it.

Adding another $6 might not seem like a lot, but there’s the added risk that we, the consumers, don’t know if this service will be successful or not !! Will it work for three months then shut down? Is the amount of new content going to warrant the price? I don’t mind subscribing to DropoutTV because there is so so so much content to watch on there, including new content on a REGULAR AND WEEKLY basis!

idk i’m just rambling now and i truly hope it works out for them because they took such a big risk becoming Watcher in the first place, and it’s paid off to an extent, but I don’t know :/

Ideally we need a whole new service that’s not Youtube to give them some competition lmao

25 favorite books of mine for @kerrycastellabate ❤️ 

1.       WE RIDE UPON STICKS by quan barry

about a girl’s high school field hockey team from salem, massachussetts which in 1989 is on a mega winning streak. might it be because the team members have pledged themselves to the dark forces in order to get to state? it’s so fun and the characters are all incredible.

2.       WE BEGIN AT THE END by chris whitaker

the plot isn’t easy to summarize but this is a thriller and a very very good one at that. it’s goto ne of the best characters ever: duchess “the outlaw”. there’s a murder and a murderer on the loose and old friends and sweet siblings and it’s truly a great book.

3.       THE INDEX OF SELF DESTRUCTIVE ACTS by christopher beha

this as close to succession as a book can get. Sam is a sport statician, he gets involved with a rich new york city family. this book is amazing, so much happens and all the characters are great.

adunni is a fourteen-year-old nigerian girl who knows what she wants: an education. she’s determined to find her voice. incredible story and so sweet and uplifting and beautiful. i have gifted this book time and time again. i love it.

8.       NOTHING TO SEE HERE by kevin wilson

moving and uproarious novel about a woman who finds meaning in her life when she begins caring for two children with remarkable and disturbing abilities (they spontaneously combust when they get agitated). great and fun and very sweet.

9.       CONJURE WOMEN by afia atakora

a sweeping story that brings the world of the south before and after the civil war vividly to life. spanning eras and generations, it tells of the lives of three unforgettable women. “magnificently written, brilliantly researched, richly imagined.”

10.   A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANY by john irving

eleven-year-old owen meany, playing in a Little League baseball game in gravesend, new hampshire, hits a foul ball and kills his best friend's mother. owen doesn't believe in accidents. wonderful story about friendship and destiny. i love this book.

11.   HOMEGOING by yaa gyasi

this book follows generation after generation of descendants of two half sisters born in different villages in 18th century ghana. they go on to having very different fates and so do their children and their children's children. it’s a modern classic! it’s perfect.

12.   BRIDESHEAD REVISITED by evelyn waugh

tells the story of charles ryder's infatuation with the marchmains and the rapidly-disappearing world of privilege they inhabit. enchanted first by sebastian, then by his doomed catholic family. it’s wonderful and wistful and beautifully written.

13.   BELOVED by toni morrison

sethe was born a slave and escaped, but eighteen years later she is still not free. she has borne the unthinkable and not gone mad, yet she is still held captive by memories of sweet home, the beautiful farm where so many hideous things happened. it’s perfect it won every big award because it’s incredible.

14.   ALL THE KING'S MEN by robert penn warren

tells the story of charismatic populist governor willie stark and his political machinations in the depression-era deep south. i don’t know but i love this book. it’s a classic and it’s written so well and the story is compelling and i keep recommending it.

15.   SALVAGE THE BONES by jesmyn ward

hurricane katrina is building over the gulf of mexico, threatening the coastal town of bois sauvage, mississippi, and esch's father is growing concerned. this all takes place across 12 days before, during and after hurricane katrina and it is a truly amazing book. a must read! a modern classic.

16.   EVERYWHERE YOU DON'T BELONG by gabriel bump

claude, a black boy from the south side of chicago whose parents both left when he was a child, so he was raised by his grandmother and her friend paul. love this book, its characters and the way it’s written, and especially its dialogues.

17.   THE PROPHETS by robert jones jr.

bout the forbidden union between two enslaved young men on a deep south plantation. isaiah was samuel’s and samuel was isaiah’s. very sad and very maddening, but beautiful.

19.   INFINITE COUNTRY by patricia engel

elena and mauro are teenagers when they meet, their blooming love an antidote to the mounting brutality of life in bogotá. once their first daughter is born, and facing grim economic prospects, they set their sights on the united states. beautiful story and very well written.

20.   THE SWEETNESS OF WATER by nathan harris

in the waning days of the civil war, brothers prentiss and landry—freed by the emancipation proclamation—seek refuge on the homestead of george walker and his wife, isabelle. the walkers, wracked by the loss of their only son to the war, hire the brothers. so unexpectedy gorgeous.

21.   BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY by quan julie wang

a beautiful memoir about an undocumented childhood. my favorite book of 2022. magnificent, perfect, sweet, sad, joyful. i love it with all myself.

22.   REAL LIFE by brandon taylor

almost everything about wallace is at odds with the midwestern university town. but over the course of a weekend, a series of confrontations with colleagues, and an unexpected encounter with a straight, white classmate, conspire to fracture his defenses. i love this. this author is so good at building up characters.

23.   MILK BLOOD HEAT by dantiel w. monitz

incredible collection of short stories. left me wanting more but at the same time they are perfectly crafted and beautiful.

24.   HOMELAND ELEGIES by ayad akhtar

truly incredible book, one of the best i’ve ever read. part family drama, part social essay, part picaresque adventure — at its heart, it is the story of a father, a son, and the country they both call home.

25.    THE LOVE SONGS OF W.E.B. DU BOIS  by honorée fanonne jeffers

this is the story of ailey and her ancestor’s journey in america through centuries, from the colonial slave trade to our days. we meet ailey when she is a child and watch her grow up, until the moment when, as a college graduate, she embarks on a journey to uncover her family’s past. a wonderful epic story spanning centuries. loved the character of ailey.
