Birthday Week

CIMG9085_sm

Christmas is a nice time of the year but so is Birthday Week.
Yes, WEEK, 7 days of private and public celebration. In these busy times with
busy and uncoventional schedules, it really makes sense to be able to catch up to
family and friends.

Officially the actual birthdate is October 1st and the celebration starts on
the 1st and ends on the 7th.

Enjoyed a low key, satisfying meal at Yutenji-Diner. The meal featured this
shio motsu nabe, among other delicacies. (everything seems to taste good there)

Of course there were many other restaurants bars and places of celebration but
this year I took the time to savor the moment and didn’t take many pictures.

A dream come true

A dream comes true, well at least half of the dream.

Today (6-20-2009) I attended the Tokyo Special Import Car Show.
I was supposed to go yesterday but I didn’t have the energy after the intense business of last week.
That night I went to dinner with some of the staff of
LUSSW magazine and I was introduced to
Mr. Shikata of
S-Company. By coincidence the Car Show came up in the dinner conversation, and
I started talking about the T-Rex. Then Mr Shikata asked me if I wanted to ride in the T-Rex... Wha..., YES!!
As it turns out he was visiting from Kobe for the Tokyo Special Import Car Show, and was friends of the Company
that is importing the
T-Rex to Japan.

Thanks to Mr. Shikata and the hospitality of the guys at
Obayashi Factory,

I get set-up for my first ride in a T-Rex!

Great Class

I recently finished teaching a special course at the Vantan Design Institute to students studying to be hair/makeup
artist. In my course the students learn about and and experience the actual photo shoot situation. They learn
communication techniques with Western Models and location staff. It was my first time to teach in a school and
was also a special experience for me as well. The students studied hard and I did my best to teach them.

At the end of the last class they all signed this message card for me, ...NICE.
