Birthday banquet. Mister Jiu's. San Francisco. California. 3.23.2018.

I was going to do my birthday dinner at a different restaurant this year. However, seeing that my music video for Dr. Octagon was supposed to launch this night and I shot it at Mister Jiu's, it was the only logical choice. Per usual, the table filled up within minutes after I sent out the email. Thanks for all the birthday wishes and may, you too, be surrounded by great people around you always!
