Tokyo - 7th-13th feb, hit me up with clubs, gigs and stuff

Alas, the demands of military justice will push me away from Tokyo during that time -- I have to spend the week in S. Korea defending a kid in a court-martial. For a good source of information, try this link:

It's a decent week for concerts, depending on your taste. Velvet Revolver, the Manic Street Preachers and the Chemical Brothers will be in town, on different nights.

Mars Volta for mid-week action followed by Jon Tejada on friday night and High Contrast and London Elektricity on Saturday methinks.

Sweet!!!!

Stay away from GAS PANIC.
Go to Ageha... Liquid Room, The Loft
Stay in Hiroo ... Washington Hotel in Yokoham is good and fairly cheap... also Toyoko Inns... Everything else is way too much
Marilyn and Kotton Mouth Kings also in town
See some kick boxing if available...

Jacob, glad to hear you're coming to town.

Recloose is also playing on Thursday.

2005/02/10 (THU) RECLOOSE JAPAN TOUR 2005 @ MODULE
DJ:RECLOOSE, KZA

Also

Rovo, Joseph Nothing, Rovo, and Natsumen at the Liquid Room on Friday.

Also me and friends are having a minimal techno/house party at Soft in Ebisu on Saturday 02/12 so please come to that maybe pre-High Contrast. I've buggered my hand snowboarding so it hurts to type but I'll post details later.

Here is the link to the Softly Softly party. 2/12 from 9 or 10-ish. Y500.

Soft

Also I posted a list of clubs in the Superpitcher in SF thread.

Ow

Also The Claska is a cool place to stay.

My company is paying so I'm at the Westin. We should party on my expense account...

And that party sounds excellent - will definitely come.

Great, it should be good. It's a really nice space and it's kinda friendly. Please find me and say hi. My name is Jeremy.

Ooh, I love expense accounts!

The girls in booths between Hinodecho and Koganecho are not there right now. Go to the other side of the canal to get a few who are working the streets. They are mainly Thai with a few Chinese. There are also some Columbian tranvestites working the area.
If you want booth girls they still are workling in Kawasaki.
I doubt you will be able to get into a fashion health, image or pink salon. Soapies are, for the most part, also out.

So, I'm here for another week. Should be today til sunday. Am definitely going to try and make it to LCD Soundsystem on Saturday - you up for that, J?

Jacob, good to meet the other night. How did you get on at High Constrast? I realized when you left I should have given you directions ...

As for LCD Soundsystem, it's maybe a tad too expensive (6300 yen!) for me.

For the weekend, I'm tentatively pencilling in these two, though I have to consult with the missus/friends.

26th, Saturday: Sieg Uber Die Sonne, Pink Elln, Dandy Jack, The Junction SM
(DJ+Live). Club Yellow. 10PM. 3500(door)/3000(flyer).

27th, Sunday: Maurice Fulton, EYE, Moodman, Mu (live). Liquid Room. 3PM.
3800(door)/3300(flyer).

You're welcome to join!
