This, ladies and gentlemen, is the Nakano Bicycle Defender. And all I tried to do was give him a baseball cap. But I fucked that up. For a belated Children’s Day, I wanted to give the neighbor boy a brand new Barry Bonds “715 Home Runs” commemorative baseball cap that I happened to have with [...]

Tokyo Do Change—A small temporal observation
I had both a curious and a funny moment today that I did not expect. Right now, I’m too tired from lunching with friends in Roppongi and visiting the Popbox Jump! event at Shibuya Loft to throw anything deep, hard-hitting, or poignant at you.
