3. Print publication // layout and design
Before the
DonutxRunners were a group of
thirty-plus people from Southern
and Northern California, it was just
two best friends who decided to
meet up after the first day of their
Fall Semester for some boba. Alan
and I started meeting weekly on
Monday nights after class to hang
out. Eventually, we started inviting
people. Those people then started
coming regularly. At the time, there
were probably only four or five of us
each Monday night.
One night, bored of sitting around
in a parking lot all evening, we
decided to drive
to the San Pedro
Fish Market at
midnight.
The following week,
we decided on
donuts instead of
sitting around in
a parking lot that
smelled like fish.
We found ourselves
at the Krispy Kreme
in Orange, a bunch of kids
hanging out and eating donuts.
Jokingly, I called ourselves
Donut Runners as a silly take on
Japanese street racing teams.
People ask me
if the DonutxRunners are some
kind of team or crew, and I just
tell them that we’re a family.
We all firmly believe that our
cars are more than just tools to
transport ourselves; our cars
are extensions of our beings.
We don’t allow popularity to
take precedence over
our passion for cars nor
do we allow it to dictate
what we do to them.
We do our best to stay
true to ourselves. Most
importantly, we enjoy
one another’s company.
We joke that if we were
to write a list to describe
the DonutxRunners it
would read “Tea, donuts,
chill nights, good people,
casual groping, and sometimes
cars.” We hang out, we drive,
we eat donuts, then we hang
out some more. This is what
DonutxRunners is about.
“We don’t allow
popularity to take
precedence over
our passion for
cars...”
