    From Roppongi to everywhere. Cornelius (Keigo Oyamada) gave a performance at last night’s United Bamboo party (at Zel Cafe in Roppongi), and I was quite thrilled to have my picture taken with him (thanks, Ian). It does look like one of us is happier than the other.

    I had to miss the opening reception last week, but I went down to La Galerie des Nakamura this past Sunday to have a look at Audrey‘s “Le musee des histoires” exhibition. I went while they were doing the “Le petit musee” workshop, which is what you’re seeing in the photos with children. The show…

    Apologies for being so late on this — blame the Tokyo Game Show — but I’d like to thank everyone who came down to PauseTalk Vol. 25 earlier this month. We started as a rather small group, but it swelled up throughout the evening, and in the end we had a good bunch of people…

    Monday night I stopped by the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan in Yurakucho to catch Lisa‘s talk about her book, Urawza: Secret Everday Tips and Tricks from Japan. She actually talked about much more, including the insane amount of work that went into the piece on 2-Channel‘s Hiroyuki Nishimura she wrote for Wired.
