Last night i had a VJ performance at Solfa, a club in Nakameguro, Tokyo. nice little club, bit smokey, but they all are here. Nice all concrete look, with good dim lighting and friendly people. I remixed Kubrick’s The Shining to a DJ’s music..  i never met the DJ though..  he was across the room from me. and when i finished, he was gone. Himuro played next and rocked the floor. Thanks for inviting me Himuro!

I have been asked to VJ at an club night with my friend Himuro Yoshiteru in Nakameguro on the 27th January. for more info see my Superlight site here

I met Eiemon a few weeks ago, on the street in a random wandering. She sells handmade goods from her bike. She makes the bags and purses etc. from a fabric from the area around Kyoto. i bought one of her bags, and had a small chat in broken english and my very bad japanese. she was a very happy lady it seems. you might see her in Sydney one day selling her craft from her bike even.

flight was ok, stop over in Cairns was ok, but hot, met a banker from Sydney on the flight, she was going skiiing in Niseko, Hokkaido, and then after tokyo arrival, i met a Japanese woman who offered to help me find right train, she had a dog called Jack, and she liked Ken Done.. then after lugging my excess baggage to hotel i was exhuasted and slept from 9pm to 8am..  now i’ve had a cheap breakfast, checked my emails and ready to go out into the cold.brrr…
