    So I did my week of Gridskipper (3rd time), and had a pretty good time doing it. Sure, it’s a hell of a lot of work, but as I go along I seem to be getting a better handle on it. Here are the Tokyo-related posts I did (I really tried not to rely on…

    A few more shots of the Margo cafe in Yutenji. I also wrote a post about it at Gridskipper the other day.

    I was recently sent word of the following FILMeX produced film event, which I wrote about on Gridskipper yesterday: Following yesterday’s film festival posts, here’s something you might want to check out if in Tokyo this month. The FILMeX group will organize a three-day film screening (June 24-26) at the Japan Foundation Forum in Akasaka.…

    I haven’t been to a gig in way too long, and this release party event for the new Aprils album, SPACE DREAM BATHROOM, sounds like something I’d be into. Features live performances by Aprils, Ram Rider, YMCK, and Hazel Nut Chocolate, with Plus-Tech Squeeze Box’s Tomonori Hayashibe DJing. It happens July 9 at Shibuya O-nest,…

    Question of the week (as posed by Momus): “Is it okay to be a nipposexual?” It’s a bit of a response to a recent post and thread over at Yuki’s site, which you’ll find here. My take? Well, nevermind the fact that my wife is Japanese (and that we met in China), I must admit…

    Damn. I was planning on ordering a bunch of tees at Threadless before the end of the sale (June 10), and while checking out the site yesterday, I noticed that there’s nothing still available (they’ve sold out of loads of stuff) that I want (or don’t already have). Guess I’ll have to wait a while…

    Seems that Caravan Books in Ikebukuro has closed its doors for good (even their website has expired). From the Chin Music Press blog: I’m sad to announce that Caravan Books of Ikebukuro has passed away. One of a kind, nestled away (cause of death?) in a quiet neighborhood near Ikebukuro station. Tastefully lit (take note…

    The Design21 “Love/Why?” exhibition sounds good, and the list of included artists (on the TAB page) is just insane. Design21 nurtures the links between man and man, between man and nature – it also stands for a new lifestyle, for design that makes people happy. Design21 is an international design competition looking for young design…
