    Remember Kissa Ginza, a place I checked out in Ebisu a while back (the picture in this post is the one I originally posted) and quite liked? The cafe/bar has a website, which I got from Toe’s site — she’s also a fan.

    My editor at THE JAPAN TIMES — Guchagucha — spins some discs tonight (Thursday) at the Ruby Room. Free entry, and 500 yen drinks until 9 — damn, I so hate that I’m out in Chiba on Thursday nights.
