5-4=Unity

I miss living by Tartine, croquette and hibiscus Iced tea errrday.

guys, will be doing tokyo-kyoto-hiroshima early september - storm season, how bad is it?

Also any recs on high-end sushi, kaiseki and kobe beef eateries?

Lastly, this may be a little out of scope here, but whats the general attitude towards disabled/wheelchair users in Japan? I am a bit worried that going to certain places might be restricted (in addition to stairs, tight spaces, etc), in terms of entering without shoes and such.

Honestly I was shocked by how many different spaces in Japan aren't handicap accesible, especially in the more dense cities like Tokyo and Osaka. But as far as attitudes go I wouldn't expect to be treated with anything but respect and the fact you can communicate will help as well.

Apparently the Bar25 guys also opened another spot just a few weeks ago called Chalet, it's literally right next to Club Der Visionaere

I'll be in Berlin from the 26-5 or so if any other SuFu peeps will be around.

i feel dirty but they have supported this party (Hollywood now ICE) from the beginning. C.R.E.A.M.

Why would you feel dirty? You play commercial top-40 house music, Ed Hardy seems like a good fit for your scene.

Cosign on Utsubo-park. I live right next to it.

Here is the recap video of the last Friday night party at OWL:

"supported by ed hardy japan"

<3 this thread for reminding me to make a hair appointment before vacation.

I love analog hardware but I don't know if I'd ever buy a "regular" synth now that I've gotten into modular synths. They offer a virtually infinite amount of customization but I can understand the appeal of a traditional keyboard synth as well, there's some classics (Oberheim, Arp 2600, PPG, etc.) that I'd love to play with.

Margiela seems like a difficult brand to represent through H&M. To me a lot of Margiela pieces rely on the perversion of classic garments in their tailoring and construction, and I can't fathom how they'll do that with an H&M capsule collection without coming off as cheap or just regular H&M clothes "with a quirky seam."

been to tokyo twice, but never have been in winter. prob going again in dec/jan - how cold does it realistically get? like 5C?

I've been in December and January, and while it was probably colder in January it really wasn't too unbearable and I'm originally from Southern California so I'm a huge pussy when it comes to winter climates. I was pretty much fine with thermals + shirt + coat, and of course scarf + gloves

The only places it was unbearably cold was anytime I was near the coast, but unless you're going to Odaiba or Tokyo Disney and isht like that you'll be fine.

anyone going to skream + benga tonight?

yeah a bunch of high school kids.

I wasn't making any assumptions, it would just have been ironic and comical had you been straight edge after having a related discussion a couple days earlier. And you don't think coke is "kind of lame", you said it's for assholes that fund terrorism, which I thought was pretty overkill (and also a pretty typical reaction for the "pretentious straight edge kid everyone abhors"). Like I said, I might be there with you on thinking coke isn't "cool" or whatever also, I'm just curious why you have such a strong reaction to it. Stop being a defensive asshole and just 'splain.

You know what assumption means right???

And I was being facetious in my initial post, it's just that in almost all of my previous experiences the lamest of people do coke.

Just out of curiosity, are you straight edge?

Nah, but nice try to make assumptions and pigeonhole me as that pretentious straight-edge kid everyone abhors;

I do a fair amount of drugs actually, just think coke is kind of lame.

went on a date today with this cute girl. first date ive had in a while, we ended up listening to music in my car in front of her aptment and doing coke.

feels good man.

i need to stop doing so much coke.

Coke is for lame first world assholes, I hope you like terrorism.

not that everyone must get a smartphone but... you're gonna keep using your amish cellphone just out of principle? seems like nose cutting/face spite

it's not like you have to buy each new one

nah I agree with his general point. fuck how smartphones have taken over errrbodys life, if we're out drinking let's shoot the shit, don't get on your fucking iphone so you can check in on foursquare at whatever bar we're at and post a photo about your drink on facebook.

that's a coffee table...and "monotone"? Are tables supposed to be multicoloured now??

And you bitches need to get over all this eames shit...there are thousands of great designs out there...why hype over the same one over and over? shit got tired in the 80's.

Eames has never gotten tired, it's a quote timeless design label regardless of kvc06s hoarding, which does make it kind of lame and hype beast-y.

This thread is only funny if you don't live I'm California, really awful governor.

It's crazy to see wax blowing up everywhere.

Anyone been to a party @ Sound Museum Vision yet??

Harajuku gets reeaalllly quiet after dark for the most part, daiknyama has lots of good spots though, check out the monthly calendar for UNIT, they have a pretty varied schedule.

you sounds like an angry weed snob.. smoke a joint and relax, man.

Gross, I don't like smoking actual flowers.

from what I hear weed in so-cal is pretty shitty and/or overpriced. it's all about the bay baby.

you sound like an idiot. generally most of the marijuana you'll find in Southern. California is grown up in the Bay Area or comes down from the emerald Triangle, so how can it be shittier??

studying japanese - fuck every course which seems to be full of endless droves of anime fans who think they are going to one day move to Japan and marry a Japanese girl.

no one is going to fucks with your broke English-teaching ass.

marcel detman berghain mix is nice. i want to make pilgramige . anyone been?

it's epic but they play like the antithesis of all the music in this thread in Berghain for the most part, you hear some bass music up in Panorama Bar on occasion though.
