Some would think starting the day off with a “The Man” ramen pack would give you all the energy one needs to get through it…

I beg to differ and say a little Freshness Burger goes a long way

Some vintage UNIF at “Dog” in Harajuku, only $175 bucks and this bad boy could be yours. (If you saw Stamps blog of him hitting up on the wall in Tokyo, it’s at this store. Best store in Harajuku by far)

Around the exhibition it was McDonalds, coffee, or Lawsons (equivalent to our 7-11 but better). There’s a Freshness Burger but it’s under construction….(mood=pissed)

I ate snacks. Noods…mmm.

Everytime I come here I gawk at Tomoki sans Ricoh and say ” I want to buy, very cool!” and he nods his head and I think that’s happened about 20 times and I’m sure by now in his head he’s like “go effin buy it” and he’s about as over it as you are this sentence

Let me start off by saying Will from Durkl was like “how come you don’t update your blog?” and I was all “I do, I’m busy though” and he was all “No you don’t.”  So here, you happy?  YOU HAPPY?!?!

Back from San Diego…thank gawd!  After Vegas and having not one day of rest and shoving off to SD for Agenda, the plane ride to Tokyo tomorrow sounds like a dream vacation (even though it’s just another showing and completely work once I get there.)  Here some pics of a tired fun time at the shows of trade.

Da Boof.  After mad set up of two booths in Vegas we decided to keep it sweet and simple.

Brady from Monarchy brought his baby which I didn’t manage to get a shot of.  Brady said the flash would steal his soul so I kept a distance.  I’ve inserted a substitute baby who’s parents could give a damn.   Brady left the show early and went to Lego Land….serious.
