A Night Out with KID in TOKYO

What does a girl in Tokyo do when she's been out 5 nights straight? Go out again! 

It was a crazy Friday night- I got ready, it was humid as fuck out, cabbed from Hiro-o to Shibuya to meet my new friend Yumi. I met her last May at Greenroom Festival, she had a beautful American Indian style rug I ordered from her back then- well, she had the rug to give me, so we met and walked across the road to have some beers.....

Thats where we met West Africa here-




West Africa would not let me go. He was super adament about getting me to dance. I was super adament about sitting down and wiping the condensation off my Corona onto my face. It was 12am, slightly raining = sweat city.

Said goodbye to Yumi, caught the last train back to Hiro-o, figured I wouldn't go out again.........Kid called me as I walked into the building.......he and his mates were getting tattooed still, so I dumped my stuff then headed to some model party at Velours in Aoyama and waited for the boys.

Turned out the boys were at the wrong club. I had to boost out of Velours and flag down a cab. Held my cell to the driver for directions from Kid..................finally, at maybe 2am, I met the boys. I was fucken tired, they were pumped after getting tattooed all night.........

gimme a redbull vodka and a bangin hip hop club!

Tokyo Boys

My 2nd to last night in Tokyo was so much fun. Tina and I met up with her mates in Harajuku, had a few beers there, we cabbed to Murasaki Sports store opening on Meji Dori, Harajuku. It was a full on corporate event, but there were free beers and friends. We were all there for maybe an hour then found a tiny "secret" resturant that could sit maybe 20 people (we took up the majoirty). It was a "quiet" bar, we kept getting "shhhhh" at, but ya cant keep the volume down on a bunch of surfers, a K1 fighter, Japanese street artist, an American, an Aussie or a half British/Japanese chick! We were rowdy and the food was a dream.
We fooled around on the street for a bit after dinner. I got my palm read randomly and we all took the group photos below. Went back to Nakano's place for beers, then walked to a near by hip hop/skater bar. The boys tagged on the streets and one mate even threw up, ha! The bar rocked! Tina, Kid and I danced our hearts out......
After that joint Kid, Alec, Tina and I went to another bar in Ebisu- no one was there but we got free Moet -excellent. Kid had one of his mates come pick us up and drive us into a massive hip hop club in Shibuya. I lost my shit when I saw there were live Japanese rappers on stage blowin the place up. The crowd was going nuts , I got right into it.

It basically turned into my best night in Tokyo......a bangin club, live Japanese hip hop, good friends, vodka cranberrys, dancing = awesome.
