Happy AAPI Heritage Month!!
Every May, I visit the schools I used to work at and teach the kids about Pacific Island Culture. I find that most of them don't know anything about the Pacific so it's a great opportunity for me to pass on the knowledge that was taught to me.
Great start to show season 😬

Finally got these from Ultrasabers! I've been looking for something I could use for indoor gigs, nothing can replace fire, but lightsabers are pretty close! These hilts are Dark Catalysts and one color is Blazing Red and the other is Fire Orange. They are stunt sabers (lightsabers without sound) and they have Tri Cree LED, which is much brighter than the standard LED setup. #ultrasabers #lightsabers #fire
