- eat

- drink

- disco

- visit

- pick up breezy's

- etc

would be amazing. more importantly though anyone down for a couple of beers?

anything/anywhere else? and no one wants to have a beer with me? i am not that scary i promise

[jcotteri]

its 2012 and their are still insane levels of xenophobia/discrimination at almost all levels, too collectivist, virtually no personal space etcbut regarding things that require money most things are incredibly cheap or reasonable.

Real talk

I've been seeing a bunch of events for Club Diana in Ginza recently.

When did this club open? And is it legit?

Seems kinda wack....

Haven't heard of it before but looks like they have been open for some time. Don't know anyone who has played there. Their graphic designer is AMAZING.

[herpsky]

i haven't been able to sign in for the past week for some odd reason.

how's the 梅雨 season treating you guys?

[herpsky]

looking thru the snaps posted on the clubdiana website. the venue looks pretty big.chicks look pretty old but the quality maybe comparable with that of muse. is that a fair assessment?

Mr. BENTO,

How do you know the Uramune sisters?!

I need an introduction!

I think one of the sisters is dating an equities trader at Merrill Lynch.

BTW, herpsky, I'm sure you've heard but our good homie at Morgan Stanley is getting transferred to Hong Kong

We are doing a going-away party for him end of month.

Alife is officially closed.

Cops slapped a "no dancing" restriction on Feria.

Rumor is that Muse is closing soon.

LEGA I think is probably the only new legitimate nightclub now.

How is New Planet these days?

[mother superior]

Whats going on dudes? I'm in Japan for work..Any of you hanging out this upcoming weekend?

[djrajio]

nope.

[herpsky]

LOL.

The obligatory

iflyer.tv

other options: go to shonan and nanpa some gyarus (always having a gaijin gunshow concept)

There is an Ebiza-foam theme party this Friday in Harajuku.

Seems to have the biggest buzz of any party this summer so far...

[bentobox]

How is New Planet these days?

Haven't been since the opening but I think that after an initial wobbly start (well 2 wobbly starts really) they are packed out. I heard the other night from my TKO friend in OSK that the overflowing Jumanji55 crowd proved to be enough to fill both rooms. I:m sure it's a bit erratic but probably solid (in a non-baller late night let's get fucked up at 3/4/5/6AM sort of way).

You didn't answer my original question

Need introduction to Gehinkan in Nishi-Azabu!!!!

hahah, zoned out on that request. sorry. not super tight but we are friendly and she attends some of my shizz. haven't seen her in a while though. will try to coordinate it next time i:m in town to play.

BTW, my favorite kaiten sushi in the world, Tskijihonten right off of center-gai just closed down unexpectedly (RIP maguro steak nigiri). What should be my new go to cheap but amazing sushi spot? My back up is the one in Meguro station at the back (behind To the Herbs and whatever else) but there has to be gems in Shibuya/Harajuku/Daikanyama/Ebisu area. Recs?

Bromo Brozaimasu.

[djrajio]

There is actually a decent one off Dogenzaka on the way to Legato to the right that I sometimes go to.

I somehow knew you were going to suggest this one This is ok but not particularly good. Midori Sushi at Mark City is dope but always a clutsterfuck with the wait.

[djrajio]

Sorry. Not a kaiten sushi connoisseur.

[herpsky]

midorizushi in the meguro station atre is always packed to the extreme.

i've only been there once. it's good for a kaitenzushi joint.

then again, i can't really appreciate the fine taste of sushi at all.

that teishoku place near the rotunda is probably my favorite meguro spot.

fukura-ya.

BTW, herpsky, I'm sure you've heard but our good homie at Morgan Stanley is getting transferred to Hong Kong

We are doing a going-away party for him end of month.

totally missed this part.

yeah, it totally sucks that he is leaving (or has already left) town. he said he would be coming back to visit at the end of the year. i don't know how long he will be gone. will be pretty funny if he finds a HK billionaire princess BZ and gets wifed up. fewer opportunities for go-kon / nomikai and stuff though

i've made a lot of female friends through his parties but nothing really ever materialized (if you know what i mean)

the chicks you know tend to be more fun and DTF

i heard all the foreign firms are focusing on the eastern asian market and relocating resources to HK and China...

Man this week has been really depresssing.

One of very good friends from college just got fired from Fidelity Japan. He had been with the firm since graduation (4 years).

Another co-worker just quit for a hedge fund in LA.

Plus our ex-MS homie who still can't find a job and our other homie who is moving to HKG.

Everyday I feel like Japan is falling apart more and more.
