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.

Lunch with Mish then out to F Bar

As I didnt have a huge one on my first night, I woke up next day feeling
somewhat re-freshed,
maybe it was because I got myself a tasty Yakult? Who knows? We may never know.......
That day, Sunday 15.5.11 I met Mish at Shibuya train station, we walked into Harajuku, found somewhere snazzy for lunch, shopped for a bit, then headed back to Hiro-o and suited up for a night at F Bar for
Runway For Japan after party.
'Twas a fine day 'n' night.

Recommended when Japanese food doesnt always say 'maybe yes'

just hangin out on the bus into Shibooms Shibooms

So I met Mish and her PUPPY??!!! She's been livin in Tokyo for a year now, guess it was only a matter of time 'til she got her self a real dog that looks like a wind up toy dog thats based on a real dog.

Just kidding! It was some randoms dog.

Sorry Mish, ha.

Here's a make-up photo of you and me Mish where we both look like kooks. I got that vintage tee on Harajuku street in Harajuku (not just a clever name)

I totally understand the need (craving?) for eggs after being in Japan.
As its on 90% of every food served.
This is a beef taco salad,
I didnt feel the desire for egg just yet.....

These girls were all lining up outside a store with heaps of press all around.
I told Mish to get up there, she answered
"Maybe No"

Back at Tina's with our Chu-Hi Strong hands. 6% of alcohol 94% of lemon sugar.
2 of these and your dancing.
Shake the can then stop before the last mouth fall- its a douzy

F Bar in Azabu Juban.
Danny's Dj-ing, Mish and I are clearly feeling the music here.

Mish totally agreeing with whatever Tina said.

Tina's arm is so athletic, I'd be scared to meet her in a dark alley

Red seemed to be the colour scheme for the night. I was drinking vodka cranberrys, wearing a red dress, red lipstick, call me elle red if you will



This chick DJ ruled

How's first glance of the tee looks like "Run away from Japan" ?

Danny and some amazing guy?

Not sure who this is, but he seems pretty certain
