Franco-Japanese Rock and a Bitter club

Saturday was a busy day for me, especially busy considering that nothing of any real importance in the worlds of film making or music has happened this summer.

First off was a lunch meeting with French-Japanese rock band DieByForty to discuss making a music video. The meeting went well enough and we will meet again next Sunday at their studio. Then I will watch them perform, and hopefully get some impressions of their aesthetics and the group's dynamic.

After our meeting, I met up with my good friend, and band mate, Jakey, and went to a club in Yokohama called Studio Bitters. There were a couple of Japanese guys banging out some tunes on the decks, which was fun. But, the main reason was to get a look at the place, as it might be a great venue for an MJ Ultra event later this year. As they say, watch this space.

We drank a few cool beverages and then wandered back to the station. But I felt a real sense of progress yesterday for the first time in a while. As they also say, I don't get out much.
