ipod dj-battle. honestly, that was the title of the event.

I used to go to clubs every week first year I got here. But now I don’t don’t even oggle the pole-dancers anymore. Suggested the drags in robot-custom get up there instead but that idea didn’t get much support. Guess it’s just me who see the entertainment value in scandly clad robots dangling from the roof.

Gallery @ Quest, Harajuku


My namecards, ALL my namecards, were gone in a few hours. I suspect the kids took em. It’s always fun to have a foreigners card. Which is ok, but can’t seem to shake my notion on foreign friendliness:
After 4 years I were hoping I’ldve been upgraded from “foreigner friend*1” to “friend
*2“.

Maybe in a few more 4-years.

Place was big enough to house 30-something kids stuff.
…And Yuumins awesome fashion
…But not enough for my extra stuff (I snucked my ads in there). Had to improvise something taking up half the hallway and the lounge.


*1, not really friend, more hugable animal with human qualities
*2, plain. real.

Hashimotos shooting star

Hoshino performed, in a breathtaking sweep of characters; flight attendant, elevator-lady, departmentstore saleswoman and finally a screaming drugstore marketer.

…but it didn’t stop there. She went on to let us all in on the secrets. Not just the different tones in voice, but the special lingo, the bodylanguage and the sales gimmicks.

Hoshino could become anything great when she grows up. Luckily she never will.

Digitalism

A few weeks after I’m reminded why I didn’t enjoy working in Sweden: artsy people (this event had a lot of em). I’ve a very, very hard time standing art- and designerfolks. But they do take fun pictures.

Regardless, the event itself were all right. They vj’d this great Denki Groove video to completely different beats. And I were there with Yamane. She made the thing spin.

Thank you, Yuki, for the new pants. Pure friendliness is what oozes out of you, and you know I appreciate it!

Remember those things I do? Or somewhat did; I’m wrapping them up.

Uploading the first batch today and the remaining bunch during the week. Check in now and/or later.

I’m proud of some. Hectic but good, fun work. They have a home at www.peterhainer.com.

Have some great friends who have helped me too – wether it was something major as copy or just …positioning a camera flash for me. (This one amongs many comes to mind 😉 )

Now I need a brake. I’ve earned it.

Hard to update without an internet connection. But, here we are.

These last few weeks have seen a busy me. And so I will remain for quite a while as I am somehow ‘booked’ until mid-march.

In spite of everything I do get to swing by a few beautiful scenaries for some projects. Like this other Wednesday.

The N in January is for No updates

(internet-challanged)


Hi. I’m internet-challanged since mid-January for about 2 more weeks.

I check my mail on weekdays and my phonemails daily.

The Z in Zoo is for ZZZ

The animals were in no mood for pictures.

Boarding

(Yes, it was that time of the year again. Spent most of the evening in bed – but – not in a good way; had a cold)
(As Aoi so accurately pointed out: “if you eat their food you’ll turn into a pig”. If you haven’t seen Sen to Chihiro you should)
(Smells so bad it had to be good)

There we go

So, perhaps last night out with these kids. Maybe I’ll catch most of them around the galleries in February, or around March. It’s been fun!
