Subway crushes

Well, our Apple store performance went down a few days ago. Life has been so rich since then its hard to piece together exactly what has happened. I can remember an amazing bountiful walk in the sun to the 100 yen store where I bought 147 items. There's also been some awesome bike riding around little streets, and elevator rides to remarkable swank views. The best though is sitting in the gallery with the whole front open, making art for our opening on saturday and interacting with the community here in the Nakaochiai district as they walk by. My friend Mary Elizabeth Yarbrough from SF is in town on some artist residency, so it was fun to catch up with her and go shopping at the amazing craft stores...

Tokyo yo

I Had my first Octopus ball yesterday
-everything is pork or shellfish-
hard to stay kosher
wandered around some indoor mall
so crazy at first, then everything blends into product..
Catching a bus to Nagano today to commune with some
nature spirits and dip into some hot springs
I like the lifestyle here
lots of green for an urban hot spot.
My new camera got possessed by some digital demons
good thing I'm an artist or I'd be so bummed
