Today was their Birthday

Friday was a blast. With a Japanese, French, American, and Spanish crowd, the UN feel was a buzz. Unfortunately my chef extradonaire Ms. Ayumi couldn't make to her jaunt through the Caribbean Sea for the next couple of weeks, but Dominoes filled in adequately to kill the hunger.

With Nishikubo-San on the skins and Eisaku "Isaac" Takami driving guitar lead and myself riding shot gun, we threw down "Happy Birthday", "Pagan", "13th Hour" and others for the crowds enjoyment.

Great Pics for Kicks

Hiya folks. Quick post, new cruise spot. My buddy Jim Valencia has a great blog, showcasing his great eye for photography. Want to see how a pro does it? Want to see the Kobe/Kansai area of Japan captured on a Nikon? Please cruise on by. Cheers.

Good crowd, good times

Great crowd at Common Café last Friday. Many new faces and all seats were filled. Ayumi-san was throwing down the Cuban/Puerto Rican food, and before the end of the night, it was sold out. Doing it all again Friday, March 13th. Hope to see everyone again.

Boozing it up in '09

Well back in swing at Common Cafe in Umeda, Osaka next Friday, January 30th. To kick off the new year, bring a friend whose never been to CC before, get one free mixed drink!

Hope to see you there!

Ugly Sweaters and Reindeers

Nice gathering of ugly sweaters at the Commons on the 26th. 1st prize for ugliest sweater went to Wisconsin/Minnesota/Iowa's own Lindsey, who took home cola flavored jelly bean defecating reindeer. Oh! and I played a couple tunes with nice audience participation on my rendition of Tom Waits' "Chocolate Jesus".

Thanks to everyone who came down and participated.

Common Threads

This Friday the 26th at Common Cafe, I'll throw down my usual live set, but thanks Ms. Lindsey Kurtz's brain, we also have a theme going. The theme will be "Ugly Sweater" night There will be a prize for ugliest sweater. Hope you can make it.

Cold Season

Common Cafe a couple Fridays ago. Bit of a cold but battled to a nice a crowd. Ayumi-san provided Cuban-Puerto Rican food to the delight of all our taste buds.
