Support Local

Natural Cycle just opened up a new shop on the 2nd floor of Daimaru department store. Look at the manager. You are a fool not to want to buy a bicycle from him.

I wrote about Niplets awhile back and they are playing at OOH-LA-LA in Saiin tomorrow night.

And last but not least, You got all dressed up in a Halloween costume and nowhere to go? Come see a Halloween-themed music extraveganza hosted by our friends Viva Sherry at Nega-Posi

Damn. Listen to it come from the gut. That howl in Country Music can really give you the shivers!!! Oh man, I’m still waiting for a goose-bumps inducing musician to come through these here parts of Kyoto. Holler at me and I'll be there in a flash.

Don't Be Sad- Read a Book.

It’s tipping into fall and easy to feel kind of sad and lonely. The trees are losing their leaves, the light has a nostalgic quality, and its grows dark before you know it. Must keep head out the clouds, feet planted on the ground, and nose in a book.

Lately I’ve been trying harder to read some stuff in Japanese. A friend told me that only 20% of what people read gets retained anyway, so “just skim for the feeling!” Easy for you to say! I thought, as she handed me a big ol fiction book.

Good bookstores you ask? Get on your bike northbound to Keibunsha. This place is like Candyland. It’s overflowing with not only books but stationary, house wares, and stuff stuff stuff. If for some reason you didn’t find a single solitary thing, there’s another funkier little spot called Gake a stone’s throw away. Happy reading!

Keibunsha is in the Ichijoji disctrict here.
Gake is on Shirakawa North of Imadegawa

Kyoto-->Tokyo Madness

So Kyoto LOCO ended and then we went to Tokyo for CMWC. We went around and did lots of Tokyo touristy things. It was so fun and blurry it was like a dream. Here are some photos.
