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.

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.

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.
