    Today’s edition of THE JAPAN TIMES has a piece by Justine Parker on foreign creators and journalists doing their thing in Japan’s art and design scene, and you should recognize quite a few of the names featured (yes, yours truly, as well as Pausetalk, get mentions).

    I’ll post the participant list for PauseTalk Vol. 20 later this week — 22 participants, pretty good considering the entire cafe has 24 seats! For now I’ll point you to a Flickr photoset by Rafael de Lima, who attended last night’s edition.

    Following last week’s post about Nakameguro and whether it’s a hip neighborhood or not, I feel like I need to post a follow-up, since I think a lot of people have gotten the wrong impression regarding my feelings on the area. I love Nakameguro, it’s an area I like to go to and spend time…
