Happy Father's Day

We took Pop out to his favorite okonomiyaki restaurant of the moment, Shichigosan in Asakusa. In the past few months I've been there around 4 times at least with him. He LOVES it. I think he goes every Sunday.

We talked about the restaurant biz, the music biz, the publishing biz... Grilled up some tasty okonomiyaki, mushroom sautes, Pop's favorite じゃがバター, potatoes fried in butter, and toasted our dad. Thanks for your hard work Pops! We love ya.

Our Pops loves fluffy white hanpen fish cakes. They sizzle up to a golden brown when fried on the griddle with butter, looking a lot like toasted marshmallows.

The Organizers and the Special Guest

Ai & HK's first Spinshell Night club event at Warehouse was a smashing success!!

In addition to AG's own slammin' performance, Prince Squad and Diva Rose debuted their new single "Honey Bear"; Hardliner set the mood with their mellow beats; DJ Ram Rider kept the crowd happy and dancing (or was that the free beer?); and Kumiko got the crowd pumped with her amazing voice. What World Cup?

See ya next time in October y'all!

One of the performers was Lu, a pole dancer. Not at all sleazy, it was really gorgeous and kind of tribal and required amazing athleticism!

I love her promotional leaflet: "Pole dancing, dance instruction, and pole sales."

It's tuesday morning, I need to get on a crowded train for an hour to go to work, sit at a desk for 10 hours and type. Then get on a train again for an hour. Repeat.

Missing the open country! Was it really just two weeks ago?
