Here’s something you don’t see everyday. It’s from the recent wedding of Juan Matute and Sirinya Tritipeskul. They met while graduate students at UCLA where they were also part of the leadership of Bruins for Transit during the Measure R campaign in 2008. They’re transit geeks in the best sense of [continue reading]
