We are just playing six shows in eight days. I suggested we retroactively label it such (”Hidari’s Accidental Tour” or the like), but nobody seemed to go for it. We set out tomorrow at noon for the land known as Nagoya, then work our way back to Kobe via Osaka, bounce between the two cities for a while, jump over to Tokyo for a change of scenery, then resume alternating between Kobe and the big O. Hopefully we will not burst into flames from the atmospheric friction. We will be wearing ceramic undergarments for added protection.

This Monday, we played at Thunderbaum’s record release show. It featured a veritable who’s who of local underground bands, a guest appearance by a masked drummer, a headbanging reindeer, and somebody lost a tooth. The general consensus was that it was a resounding success.
