What a show

What a week! Emily got back from Japan on thursday, she had a good time, but i'm sure happy to have her back. She brought back all sorts of Japan stuff, and i have now eaten way to many odd flavors of kitkat(white peach, cherry, Strawberry, and Red Bean). That being said, the other big deal was our trip to San Francisco to see Japane Nite! (but really just for Go!Go!7188). This was my first time going to San Fransico (I don't count the airport) and well...I don't think it's for me. It was such an urban jungle,everything was so packed in and tall I seriously felt clausterphobic. I guess if i couldn't handle L.A. it makes sense that Frisco seemed like chaos manifested to me. It was all worth it though because the concert kicked ass! it was at medium venue called the Independent. A no frills joint with a good sound system...and thats about it, but really, what else do you need? Five bands played:

-Asukasa-Totally rad "Heavy Marching" band, plenty of brass and an electric standup bass thats the lead singer rides!...amazing.
-Oreskaband-6 piece japanese school girl ska backed by sony production...nuff said(plus they stayed at our hotel!).
-The 50 kaitenz-wtf? are these guys for real! I can't even describe it, like power rockabilly dirty pop? either way, totally entertaining and by far the most stage prescence out of any of the bands
-KY-these guys just didn't fit in, Happy sing song pop...not my cup of tea, although apparently it was for alot of the crowd.
-Go!Go!7188- The reason we went to the concert, and they delivered, my only problem was that it had to stop. They played for about 50 minutes plus an encore and just rocked the house...Ako is a goddess on the bass...

After the concert we stayed at the Miyako hotel, which was actually quite nice and peacful. Staying on the 5th floor gave us a great view of the city and lifted us above the noisy traffic down below...one of the best night sleep I have ever had in a hotel, and in general a great cap to my spring break.

Anyway now school is back in session and every ones in a panic about the end of the semester coming...not me, i'm just smiling...

Blog check

This first post is mostly a test. I plan on "blogging" this way about once a week in order to let friends and family no whats going on, also i here from many sources that journaling is a decent stress reliever and generally beneficial, so here i am. Expect future posts to be on topics including: My trip to Frisco to see Go!Go!7188, The ridiculus growth rate of my dog Rajah, My success and failure at biking, plenty of boring Math talk (it is my major after all), and anything else that might be on my mind.
