Anti-Update



Hate to say nothing's going on, but also hate to exaggerate minute details. We just had a really chill week. Colleen spent two days at a teaching seminar & I spent most of the working hours recording. We did haul it down to Himeji yesterday for some shopping & a concert though. I shelled out for some non-Coke sodas ($1 a can, but worth it) and the Haruki Marukami book "Kafka on the Shore" which I guess has some talking cats in it. Should be appropriately surreal.



We also "discovered" a Middle Eastern restaurant that we've probably walked by 15 times without really noticing. Great falafel. I'm playing my first show in Japan this week. Very excited.

Plus, don't forget that sometimes even the minute details are fun to read about, especially for those of us who have never been to Japan and have no idea what it's like!

Have you discovered any upcoming music artist over there? Any chance of there being any new releases soon? Also who else is on the bill with you?

Jesus Christ, you got to have Dad's Rootbeer. I'm so jealous. I haven't tapped a can a that shit since grade school, son!

Bro - good luck with the concert! but moreover, i'm pretty sure if you wanted a book with talking cats, mom could've written it for you, cause she never shuts up with our own! p.s. that's such a stolen picture of Coco on the cover, we should sue! Later! :)

Wow. Surprised the lack of happenings brought people out of the woodwoork...

Michelle - normally I'd agree about the small things, but there weren't even interesting cultural things to report now, just me on a computer & colleen at work.

Edward - Haven't "discovered" anyone. Since we live out in the sticks, I'd say anyone with an interent connection has as good a chance as I do. The show is with Makoto Kawabata of Acid Mothers Temple.

Amanda - Colleen said the same thing about the cat pic. I didn't notice it until she mentioned it.

Wendy - Dad's Root Beer. Right at my fingertips. Just an hour drive and a dollar away... That's practically already in the fridge.
