Jason Tom in LA

Posted September 11, 2009 at 11:14AM

I travel, and my first trip alone to Los Angeles was no exception. I feel that travel can "expand" a person's life experience. The love I felt made me feel unquestionably the most famous beatboxer in Los Angeles and the ISA LA 2009 concert. I was originally considered to be featured in this past ISA LA 2009 concert. My fans and supporters have wrote to ISA to make it happen. I want to thank all of my supporters for pushing that.

I don't typically carry a camera with me, but I had to for LA trip so that I can share about this trip. I tend to forget that I do have a digital camera (that I bought 3 years ago with my prize money from beatboxing).


My extra tickets for the JCPenney "SOLD-OUT" ISA LA 09 concert.


Posing for the self-timed picture before heading through security at the Honolulu airport.


My new friends that I met on my way to the San Gabriel Mission Playhouse for the ISA LA 09 concert. Though they couldn't join me for the show it was awesome meeting these fellow secret agents.


IS what? ISA!!!


Posing with Quest Crew fans (the purple gave it away). I gave my extra ISA tickets to their friends that couldn't get tickets due to how fast the ISA tickets sold out.


I gave her 2 of my extra ISA tickets, and I end up losing my inexpensive watch somewhere in Los Angeles after the concert. I also changed into a Verizon Wireless t-shirt. Thanks Verizon Wireless!


IS what? ISA!!!


ISA LA 09 volunteers passing out JCPenney surveys and notebooks.


This ISA LA 09 volunteer remembers me from ISA SF 09 (March). That's what's up! Gosh I think I look like the 2-time UK human beatbox champion Beardyman in this photo.


My new friends from UC Irvine, and now I'm sporting the Far East Movement Subcrew cap (worn backwards).


Concession stand is what's up!


Dominic “D-Trix” Sandoval of Quest Crew (I opened up for Quest Crew at the Movement in Honolulu).


Jason Sender and I.


DJ Virman of the Far East Movement & Power 106 and I.


ISA LA 09 volunteers and I with the stage manager to my left. Now I'm sporting an ISA LA 09 t-shirt.


She was jamming on an ukulele.


Here I am now with my Far East Movement (FM) "2 is Better than 1" t-shirt with Kev Nish of FM.


5 is better than 1.


This 5 is better than 1 too. Wong Fu fans no doubt.


Here I am with Prohgress of FM.


Here I am with Jason Sender at the KT cafe. We have the same eyes it seem.


Kevjumba in the house!


Here I am chilling a bit with Victor of Quest Crew


Kai and I with J-Spliff of the Far East Movement in the background.


FM and I (from L-R) holding up the 3 fingers: Kev Nish, J-Spliff, Jason Tom, and Prohgress


Tom Ngo and Jason Tom


Picture with Far East Movement and 4C the Power (they remember me from ISA SF 09). Awesome crew!


Again, 2 is better than 1!


Back at my hotel with my friends from Texas. I damaged one of my vocal cords around this time after performing another request. I must have beatboxed 8,000,000 times plus during my short LA trip, but I loved every second of it.


The next day I'm still amped.


Can you tell that I'm excited to fly back to Honolulu?


My Texan friend and I teased that she looked high in this one.


My friend from Denmark Mick (I nicknamed him Mick Jagger). He referred me by my Chinese name (in Cantonese) which he remembered throughout my stay. Real cool dude.


My new friends from Zhejiang, China. We exchanged conversations in Mandarin Chinese.


Denmark is in the house!


New friends and fans from the hotel.


Rushed photo with my new Russian friend as I was about to head to the LAX airport.


Russia is in the house!


I'm back in Honolulu!


My welcome home entourage!
