Visiting Tokyo Part 1

Last weekend I visited some friends in Tokyo and had a very successful trip. First, I took the Shinkansen on Saturday afternoon to Tokyo station, where I transferred to a JR train to Akihabara. I arrived there around 4PM, and I was basically wandering around aimlessly, waiting for my ex-roommate Keitaro to get off work at 7. I saw two white guys walking towards a music studio, instruments in hands, and I figured they might be down for a jam. After following them upstairs into the studio and talking with them, we agreed we would rent a space and play for a while. Had a great time! It's always nice to create music with strangers. Saturday night was kind of crazy... I met up with some friend in Roppongi, where we imbibed and socialized until the feeble light of the early morning trickled into the bars and clubs in which we were playing. Stayed overnight at a hostel in Asakusa, where I met some cool Japanese college students (they were working at the hostel). One of them misspelled "Red Wine" in a very Japanese way, which was pretty funny.
