    Thursday night I was out in Shibuya for the opening reception of the new Diesel Concept Store, which opens to the public today (November 20). Like the Diesel Denim Gallery in Aoyama, the store features a gallery space, and the opening show is Simon Henwood and Fannie Schiavoni’s “Black Sun” (until February 23). I rather…

    When it was 20:15 last night and we were still only 8 people at Cafe Pause for PauseTalk Vol. 46, I thought we were in for a disaster of a night, but as we kicked things off and the night wore on, I do believe it ended up being my favorite edition so far. The…

    Forgot to post my regular PauseTalk reminder earlier this week, so here goes: PauseTalk Vol. 46 happens this Monday (November 8) at Cafe Pause, with the usual start time of 20:00 — it was pushed back a week so as not to clash with Tokyo Design Week. I also always send out a reminder through…

    A word of warning if you were planning on checking out Tokyo Designers Week at the Meiji Jingu Gaien grounds today (Saturday, October 30) — the event is closed because of the thread of a typhoon.

    Just a note to remind everyone that the next PauseTalk will not be happening this coming Monday (November 1) as it normally would, so as not to conflict with all of the Tokyo Design Week festivities. Instead, it’s being pushed back a week, to Monday, November 8.

    Patrick Macias — editor-in-chief of Otaku USA magazine, among MANY other things — has been in town for the past couple weeks, and he dropped by my neck of the woods the other day for a bit of Ikebukuro flavor. I wanted to start with some tonkatsu spaghetti at Nobu but it was unfortunately closed,…

    As I just posted on SNOW Magazine, the latest edition of the always excellent “Magazine Library” has been extended until the end of the month due to popular demand — big congrats to David and the crew for putting together another great exhibition. I had a chance to quickly check it out last week —…

    This past Saturday we walked all the way down from Ikebukuro to Harajuku with the dog, mostly because we wanted to spend some time at the big “dog run” area inside Yoyogi park. It made for quite a pleasant outing (if a long walk), and we also walked around Aoyama a bit — I wanted…

    Big thanks again to everyone who made it out to Cafe Pause in Ikebukuro this past Monday for PauseTalk Vol. 45. As has been the norm for the past few months, we had about 20 in attendance, and I’m starting to feel that this is the optimum size for getting some good discussions going with…
