The last time Fabio joined the manga/anime geeks from Collector Maniacs for a late dinner at Big City Diner in Kaimuki, he got a burger that was either poorly engineered, designed, or assembled.

This spot is clear, just a single handful of people strolling by. Besides, it makes for more interesting picture than from the lookout. Anyway, it’s another year gone by. Pretty status quo.
