Asobi Seksu

Asobi Seksu played at Lounge 13 on Thursday, and I went to check them out. I really, really recommend them. Their CD should be out soonish in NY area stores, but at least hit their website, check out their MP3s, and then go see them play.

We Are Scientists at the Knitting Factory

We Are Scientists at the Knitting Factory. How cool is that?

Say Hi To Your Mom

Caught Say Hi To Your Mom at the Mercury Lounge. It was a great show. They are a great band. Had dinner at Waikiki Wally's (a really kitschy Tiki place, sister restaurant to Lucky Cheng's) before that. Really cute ambiance, and surprisingly good food.

Macy's Flower Show

Six years in the city, and this is the first time I've ever been to the annual Macy's Flower Show. Pretty amazing actually.

Rock 'n Rollerskate

2004/04/04 Rockin' Roller Skate at OfficeOps in Brooklyn was just a blast. Take 4 bands, put them in a cage, give the audience roller skates, add beer and stir. Of course, since Bishop Allen was one of the bands, I thought I should lace up some skates and head out there.

FuguTabetai.com cookbook

I cook sometimes, so I threw up a cookbook that I wrote for my friends and family. Mostly family, since I bought most of them rice cookers.

2004 Japan Girls SAMURAI US tour

I went to check out the Japanese Girls SAMURAI US tour when it came to New York, and had a great time. 4 Japanese girl bands ranging from "the new breed of Japanese noise" to a "Ukulele playing duo". I really, really liked Petty Booka, a country hawaiian ukelele pop duo. They sounded just beautiful, and were funny to boot. Check them out. I also like Noodles a lot. No pictures though (didn't have a camera with me.)

Bishop Allen and We Are Scientists

Bishop Allen and We Are Scientists show at Lit. Totally rocked.

Wussy and Imposter Syndrome

I went down to Arlene's Grocery to check out Wussy (read about them in Japion) and also enjoyed Impostor Syndrome. Took a few pictures.

LogTracker update

Updated LogTracker with a view of URIs that have been recently accessed.

Bishop Allen in Philly

I went down to Philly to see Bishop Allen on the start of their Support the Thunder tour. Bishop Allen are totally awesome - you must go and see them when they play near you. It is a moral imperative.

GMAOServer overhaul

Added JNLP launching and a huge GUI overhaul to the GMAOServer - you can check it out on the software page.

Happy Birthday

11/13/2003 Hunkabutta.com has some really cool pics from Japan. I like it. Oh, and happy birthday to me. 29 years young.

2003 Halloween

11/1/2003 Pictures from Halloween 2003, "A Very Strongbad Halloween".

Bishop Allen and Erin McKeown

Tuesday, at the Bowery Ballroom. I caught Bishop Allen down at the Bowery Ballroom with Erin McKeown. Bishop Allen was really good, and I liked Erin McKeown as well. But everyone should catch Bishop Allen. They rock. I even got my T-shirt signed by Bonnie and Christian. Yay!

Beach Road Trip

8/27/2003. From Friday, 8/22/2003 until Sunday, 8/24/2003 I went on a road trip with some friends to New England. We hit Mystic, Newport, Boston, and Glouster. It was loads of fun. I didn't even get sunburned.

Sapporo in the Summer

I went to Japan in July of 2003 for a conference, and some vacation. Here are lots of pictures.

Bishop Allen at the Tank Opening

I went down to the Tank on 42nd street, and saw Bishop Allen in concert. Bishop Allen is really great - Ron sent me a link from their NPR interview, and I've been listening to the album ever since it arrived...

Karaoke Party!

2/1/2003. We had a Karaoke Party! Man, that new Japas over at 38th is pretty cool!

Young Alive in Love

1/14/2003. There used to be a group called UsagiPop, a long time ago. I really liked their stuff. Now, there is a group called Young Alive in Love that is getting started, with the same front-man (I think.) Anyway, I'm hopeful.
