Welcome to the hood!

Over the weekend Mr. Melting Faces was officially welcomed to the neighborhood. In the afternoon we hooked up in Gotanda and moved some shit to his new place over in Magome. His place was pretty bare before that, but now it's all homey! It's a pretty nice place, good location, and comfortable, I'm happy to have melting faces in the hood, and I'm glad he's "leveled up" as he puts it. To welcome him we threw a "Nabe" party. Nabe is basically a "hot pot". It's a very common Winter food over here in Japan, just throw in a bunch of stuff, and sit around it, let it boil, and then chow down! We went with a Kimchi nabe, and it was tasty! We also got into some extreme Jenga, involving copious amounts of alcohol. It was a rockin' adventure.

Last night was the much anticipated "Minus the Bear" show in Shibuya. Man, it was great! During the show I contemplated giving up playing guitar a few times after watching Mr. Dave Knudson perform. He is amazing. In my lifetime I've had the fortune of witnessing two amazing guitar players live, Dave Knudson, and Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine/Audioslave) who both can make a guitar do things that most mortals cannot. Some good news though, I'm not gonna give up guitar! I'm gonna rock even harder now!

Finally, I shaved the goatee down to a wicked mustache and combed the hair over (with my fingers since I actually don't have a comb) in an attempt to convey the best 70's porn star/ Mark Twain/ child molester look I could possible do, enjoy!
