Back to the future the musical

A friend of mine in England went to see this musical last week. I’m not really a big fan of musicals, but I think this one looks really good. I love the movie and I hope I get the chance to see how it works as a musical.

Are there any classic movies that you would like to see turned into musicals?

Tagboat Art Awards

On Sunday I went to the Tagboat art prize awards at the Hikarie Building in Shibuya. Tagboat is an online art gallery and shop which focuses on young and new artists.
Here is the internet link. http://www.tagboat.com/
Some of the artwork was very interesting, including this woman`s face which was made from shopping receipts. However, to be honest, I am not such a big art fan, and I enjoyed the free beer more than the art itself.

The Witcher (this isn’t about beer)

Most recently I’ve been into a TV show and PS 4 game called The Witcher. They are both based on a series of books.  The Witcher is about man on adventures monster hunting. Witchers are made from a young age and modified genetically to hunt various creatures such as vampires, ghosts and trolls. They are usually paid to hunt these creatures. In the PS 4 game you have to research the creatures you are hunting and learn their weaknesses.  The TV show was pretty entertaining and the game isn’t bad.

Rainbow in the sky

I saw this cool rainbow in Chiba the other day. I’d never seen one like this before. It was only a partial rainbow and it was directly overhead. It looked like the sky was smiling 😊 at me.
Have you ever seen an unusual rainbow?

Japan’s Mini Beers ミニビール

Has anyone ever seen these at your local supermarket? These things crack me up. I mean, who buys the little cans? It’s definitely not me. 

On second thought, it might be funny to do an entire night of just drinking the tiny ones. Then again, I might have to buy more than 30 of them. Ha ha.

Beer walking with a stranger back in Japan 飲み歩き

Long time no post folks, so I thought I’d share this one.

Back in May, over the Golden Week holiday, a very special person from Jabble’s past was in town for a few days.

Anyone remember this beautiful big man’s face? That’s right…Ryan!

So how to celebrate such an occasion? Well, why not do what we so often did when he was still in Japan: walk around Tokyo drinking beer!

Oh, and our lunch time (beautiful) mistake: a bowl of fatty miso ramen.

ごっつ ラーメン (Gottsu Ramen)

Oddly, after lunch I didn’t feel nearly as bad as I thought I would. (I followed Dave’s advice and tried to limit the amount of soup I ate. Ha ha!)

Thank you ごっつ ラーメン (Gottsu Ramen)! You were worth every minute of the food coma.

Welcome back to Japan, Ryan! You’ve been missed!

Riverfest in U.S.

As many people might know, my hometown is Little Rock, Arkansas. Every year in early spring, the city has a music festival next to the Arkansas River called Riverfest. Each year several thousand people go to the downtown area to eat, drink, take pictures, and listen to music. The lineup includes all types of music, including rock, country, hip-hop, and classical orchestra pieces.

But, the second most important part of any festival is the food. Arkansas is in the southern U.S., and so we love barbecue and deep fried food. Eat it with some iced tea or lemonade and it’s a perfect festival day. My personal favorite is BBQ pork tacos with pink lemonade. But, there are all kinds of options like fried pickles, turkey legs, homemade sausages, and all kinds of food from other countries.

Then, at sunset on Saturday, there’s a big fireworks show that’s set off from the old Arkansas Train Bridge. The bridge itself is a very interesting part of the city, because the city tried to demolish the bridge, however, it is so well built that the explosives didn’t damage it. So, now it’s both a historical landmark, and a nice place to launch fireworks.

Riverfest is one of my favorite memories form growing up in Arkansas, because everyone there can find something to enjoy, and it’s a great atmosphere filled with music, food, and all kinds of people.
