I spent my Christmas Eve here, drinking whiskey with the owner -- http://www.cp-paragon.com/main.html

Really want to check out MISTY in Asagaya, too.

I will! Gonna check these places out, thanks a bunch.

Maher Shalal Hash Baz is playing with Yoshio Hayakawa of the legendary psychedelic band the Jacks. The third part of the show is MSHB playing together with Hayakawa, for which Tori Kudo of MSHB wrote new arrangements.

Nice. I'd love to see this.

[herpsky]

can't help you if you are azn and speak no japonaise.

i had lost faith in all wimmenz at one point. grad school goggles.

i even went out with 29-30 year old jpn chicks in the past couple of weeks.

29-30 yr olds in the us are 中古 to the max and they are not even worth looking at. my eyes rot.

[hrvatsko]

i'm going to be in tokyo this sunday. anyone know of any shows worth checking out or can recommend something to do on sunday & monday night? i listen to just about everything and i've been known to have a beer or four.

lots of good info in this thread, thanks herpsky, et al.

How many more years you got left before you finish medschool herp?

I swear I'm gonna try top myself before I graduate, shit is such a grind sometimes. Getting jaded, esp compared to how I was when I first applied.

[riotC]

true enough ...

somehow its getting better though ... maybe cause the chicks are drunk hahaha .

btw does japanese have obsessions with european girls ? it seems like everytime i go clubbing with my swedish/finnish friends . all japanese guys queue up to try and nampa .

edit : happy new year!

we all tell ourselves that white wimmenz in japan get no attention from white broskis. we assume that they are just dying to fuck.

i tried to pick up some CWGs in roppongi and it was an epic fail.

Go to a HUB and have a jumbo long island iced tea and do a shot (or two) of absinthe.

then head out to one of these

thanks for the info. i'm definitely gonna find a HUB for drinks.

i really just wanna check out the music scene, not so much into going clubbing just to hear some trance or top 40 hip hop where i have to fake like i'm into that shit while i buy the overpriced mixed drinks. i found some minimal house DJ's on that site i'd check out but none of them are playing this weekend. i think i'm spoiled living in chicago, so many good shows coming through here every week.

Too bad you are leaving before Wednesday. The great Korean folk musician Kim Doo Soo will be playing at Showboat wiht Masami Kawaguchi.

Speaking of performances, I am really excited about this. Antony [of Antony and the Johnsons] performing with Kazuo Ohno, one of the founders of butoh, along with his son, Yoshito.
