I went to a friend’s premiere showing of his video from Soulclipse, held at Arcus Cafe in Saitama, 45 minutes by road outside Tokyo. Like so many places in Japan, initially an anonymous looking place, but full of surprises! 97
A very cute standing bar, specialized in sake. Tasty grilled duck as a snack, also the owner had just brought back some fresh tofu and pork meat miso paste.
Happy people at Arcus Cafe!
I went to see the Spring Dance of the Shimbashi geisha, the Azuma Odori 2006. Tokyo still has a number of geisha neighborhoods, though not as well known as those of Kyoto.
The Diamond Ring effect at the end of the Antalya eclipse, March 29, 2006. On May 12th, 2006 Victor and I organized a party in Tokyo on the theme of the eclipse. More than 300+ people turned up to enjoy a multi-screen video presentation, excellent music, and each other’s company.
Check out some pictures from the party, a short video, and if you have the bandwidth, my 3 screen video (672MB, Quicktime). In March 2006 I travelled to Antalya, in Turkey, to witness the total solar eclipse – and attend the Soulclipse party!
Check out my pictures from the trip. After nearly 5 years of inactivity on my website… I’m baaaaack! |

The gods of football
Great quote by imomus here:
“Instead, the football zone represented some kind of religious festival, in which brands were gods. Not the cheerful gods of a matsuri or some Hindu celebration, with their human faces, but the weirdly abstract and faceless gods represented by logos and money: T Mobile, Coca Cola, Adidas, Budweiser, Gillette, Mastercard, Toshiba, Hyundai…”
I am struck by how the forms of religion reappear over and over again.
