  • PauseTalk Vol. 28

    Yes, I’m extremely late with my write-up on the February 2009 edition of PauseTalk (Vol. 28), but then again, it gives me the opportunity to plug the next edition, which happens this coming Monday (March 2, from 20:00 at Cafe Pause).

Doors will open at 19:00, with live performances starting at 20:00 — I’d make sure not to miss Taichi at 21:00. Entry will be free, and I’ll of course…

  • CGM 2

    I don’t tend to go to networking events — I actually never do — but last Friday I dragged CheapyD with me to Danny Choo and Andrew Shuttleworth‘s CGM 2 event in Aoyama, and ended up having a pretty good time. The event was held at a promotional cafe for Fiat, and business was of…
