As soon as we walked in, we searched for lunch trucks with short lines. They were difficult to find. Kiki & I grabbed some icees & stood in line for Vietnamese sandwiches. Robby, Neil, Ben, & Jen soon joined us & we sat down with Korean tacos as well. I had a deliciously ice-cold Mexican Coke. The food fest offered a tasting of everything in small portions for $2-3, so lines were long & people were patient. I think the longest line was for the grilled cheese taco truck. You'd think that grilled cheese isn't special enough for such a large following, but the truck served fancy sandwiches, like grilled brie with mushrooms. There was also India Jones, which Robby patronized just outside of USC campus. & there was also a slider (tiny hamburger) truck, homemade ice cream sandwiches truck (called Coolhouse...Koolhaus...get it?). We also had exotic popsicles: lemon basil, avocado vanilla, lychee... Unfortunately, a few of our friends did not enjoy standing under the hot sun for so long. Nor did they like the overwhelming crowd.
So we left after an hour for Robby's video games lab at USC.
We stayed indoors for the rest of the afternoon, playing the Nintendo Wii & the Beatles version of Rock Band. After ramen at Mitsuwa Market, we headed back to Culver City to watch Zombieland, which was surprisingly funny & entertaining (in the same vein as the humorous horror movie Shawn of the Dead). 
Jen & Neil bought a beautiful & tasty Cuban fruit tart for Robby's birthday, & we ate ourselves silly.
On the whole, a wonderful summery Saturday. It felt good to get out of the house for once.
