Black Silk, White Cotton

SOS

For those of you who don't know, my friend Toyo whom I am staying with is the lead singer of a electronic industrial metal band called New Breed. We were driving to a show in Chiba on Saturday when the van starting blowing a lot of smoke from the exhaust. To be safe, we called a tow truck to take us the rest of the way. I rode in the van when it was ON the tow truck while learning the Japanese for "Holy Shit!" What the fuck?!" and "Bullshit!" from guitarist Tama. Bassist Tommy was riding in the cab with the tow truck driver.

The venue was K's Dream. The K stands for Kurt, as in Kurt Cobain. The way the Japanese pronounce it sounded like "Copa Cobana." The whole bar had a Nirvana theme with posters and other paraphernalia all over the place. The poster for the show looked liked this:

New Breed sound like this on stage:

And this in the van driving back home:


We went to an Izakaya place after the show and Tommy proceeded to make love to a pillow:

Therefore, in the ride home, he was naked and out like a light:



I had to get up the next morning to meet up with some Japanese traceurs in Yokohama. Definitely a nice bunch of guys to train with and I look forward to continuing my training with them.

But what really made my day was the jar of individually-wrapped KitKat's I bought from a vending machine. I was expecting a drink but this was better because I get to keep the jar.

And Mario Kart Wii is dope. And I just saw a show where they see what your dog would do if you fell down a simulated well. Some dogs went for help. Some threw a rope. Some walked around and some took a piss. Very cute.
