Tokyo - Day Six

No1 Best Sandwich!! More on that later. First, a quick rundown of my morning.

- went to the IMperial Gardens which were closed.
- went to the shopping area of Omote-Sando, wide blvd. lined with trees and expensive shops. tried to find a cool t-shirt shop but there was nothing so low-brow. i did find Condomania, the nutty-fun-wacky condom store.
-at the end of the blvd i hit meiji-jingu shrine, really on accident, but i'm so glad i found it. hands down the best shrine/temple i have seen yet. i'll put pics up later.


Meiji-Jingu Shrine

















- lunch at Kua 'Aina sandwich shop, home of the best burger from Hawaii. No1 Best Sandwich!! It was good - a damn tasty 1/2 pound burger with onions, and, i even ate it with mayonnaise on it.

- walked around a bit more oggling Japanese women (oh, yeah i've been doing that this whole time...) and got some Haagen-daz green tea ice cream. yummy.

came back to blog, rest and then out again for my concert in Shinjuku...

John Zorn and Bill Laswell. Excellent concert with extra loud feature! Basically four excellent musicians making lots of noise together. I sat next to a woman who worked for a Japanese blues label and currently runs her own jazz label. She also works for Y! Japan in the media unit. Well connected, she is working with Chicagoan Jim 'Rourke on a project and knows DJ Logic and DJ Krush. She was working for laswell and Zorn and so I met some people through her. Laswell's manager and a guy who is writing a biography of him - not sure why as Laswell is really not famous famous. Anyway - most fortunate seating arrangement for western tourist man at concert. She liked my music and I will send her some CD's that she can forward to various people. Got to stay for the second set for free and got a cool t-shirt...
