JET ROCK AND ROLL!!!

so ren and edwin came and visited. it was sweet. my liver is still recovering...

we watched the greatest jet rock and roll band ever—guitar wolf—and it was the balls, they built a cheerleader pyramid on stage... they had japanese people stage diving... thats all you need to know about how great it was.

we went to tokyo and met up with natalie. cruised tokyo for two days and one night in an internet cafe. we also met up with mika. and tin. and norie. i tried uni (sea urchin) for the first time at a cheap conveyer belt sushi place. i shouldn't have done that. i'll try it again at a better sushi joint.

back in osaka the days went something like this. i would go to work during the day and leave ed and ren to their own devices. after work we would go somewhere to drink. this pattern was followed until they left. highlights include 280s, sa*zae with shin (the TK of osaka, apparently), and the sayonara party... and i'm sure a few other things that are hazy. oh yeah and maria ozawa. during this time sheina also came through for two days to see osaka while she was in japan visiting mika in tokyo.

it was great seeing familiar faces. peace to edwin, ren, natalie, ernesto, tin, mika, norie, and sheina. it was like having part of SD in japan. lets do it again sometime.
