You only have until next May 17 to plan, so get crackin’. NBC Bay Area reports: “Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill Tuesday officially recognizing May 17 as Bruce Lee Day in California, honoring the San Francisco-born actor and cultural figure. The commemorative day will make Bruce Lee the first Chinese American to be honored with a day in California, according to Assemblymember Matt Haney, who introduced the bill in February.”
With the rise of MMA, especially after the White House lawn mega-event, maybe Newsom was looking to get a piece of the excitement. Bruce Lee Trivia: He played Kato (not Kaelin!) the Green Hornet’s trusty sidekick (no pun intended) on the 60’s TV series. Celebrate safely.
