Still on Tokyo time…

2 September 2010

In the air and on the way into Tokyo…

It’s good to come back to an old friend, the Okura. Still frozen in time from the 60′s…

Original graphic tapestry on the elevator doors, still beautifully maintained…

In contrast, the backside of the massive front door at Wonderwall

Some interesting ‘future nouveau’ details in Omotesando…

The crew meet up at Lighthouse Records in Shibuya… You’ll find good stuff here…

Serious craftsmen at work in Daikanyama…

The bathroom at an old favourite, Combine in Naka-Meguro… always solid.

Support the homeys, Dj Kent (The Backwoods/Force of Nature) and Chida (Ene Records), hold it down poolside at mega club Ageha…

Vendor‘s new location in Naka-Meguro is really great…

… with quite the A/V control center.

On the way to highly recommended vintage shop Jantique, hit up mid-century-modern filled Prata Cafe in Meguro… I hadn’t been here for ages…

A great shop full of carefully curated vintage housewares, furniture, prints etc, mixed in with newer stuff. An amazing space as well, Quico is just off Omotesando…

… they had a Wegner Swivel Chair in mint condition, casually in a corner.

Apparently a relatively new spot, Warito makes some amazing Tsukemen. A must try…

Ding Scores

31 August 2010

New York (Chinatown Newswire) — Long-serving keeper Gerald “El Gato” Ding finally scored his first goal for the Chinatown Soccer Club this morning, closing the book on a dry spell that lasted almost six years, the Newswire has learned.

“I had a vision that he would get his goal today and we are all delighted for him,” said veteran defender Marco “The Berlin Wall” Spier who made his first appearance for the club following minor knee surgery last month.

Ding finished off a rebound with a well-taken volley to add his name to the scoresheet.

Claudio Marzano

30 August 2010

This drawing has been on my desk since Claudio drew it a bunch of years ago.

It summarizes our time in high school, drawing each and every day.

Now he’s an art consultant at the Canada Council for the Arts.

One of my favourite people.
