A friendly reminder that tonight (Monday, November 16) is this month’s edition of PauseTalk (Vol. 35), the first one in over two months. The official session kicks off at 20:00 at Cafe Pause, but feel free to join us earlier, from 19:00, to have a listen at Tokyo Realtime’s latest audio tour, covering Akihabara. So far, on the Facebook event page alone, we have 19 attending and 15 “maybes,” so looks like it’ll be a good one.
PauseTalk is a regular series of events that take place at Cafe Pause on the first Monday of every month, with a start time of 20:00. The idea is to create a forum where Tokyo-based creatives can get together and discuss their own projects, as well as cultural currents of the city. The next edition happens in March.
PLAY is a series of events with Jean Snow spinning some of his favorite virtual discs in a casual setting at Cafe Pause. The next edition happens in January. See the setlist for previous editions here, and subscribe to a feed of the mixes.

Bummer… I couldn’t make it. Flying home today. It must have been another full house.
Too bad you couldn’t make it, Jim! Yeah, was a great one, 30 in attendance, and some interesting discussions.
was an interesting night – maybe one too many kirin heartland’s towards the end – everyone stayed on to chat which was nice.
looking forward to the jeans now cafe
I can tell you that the manager was very happy with all the drinking!
I was there in spirit. I definitely would have made the manager happy too. I do like Heartland beer.
She would definitely love you then!
