Colin is Uncle Colin from London, England - the main reason for this trip was because I had a week off, and thought I would take him to the Grand Canyon, then thought NY, and then thought TOKYO! He is 75 next birthday, and who knows how easy future travelling will be? He has always admired Japanese culture and art, so for him, this was a trip of teh lifetime! I know cos he told me :D

By the way, everyone I hung out was amazingly friendly and cool!

Mark took a day off to hang all day with me, and run all over tOkyo, resulting in:

Image

Don did the same a day or so later, and took me over to Tokyo Big SIght for Hobby COmplex. He also has a great bunch of friends, and knows EVERYone! Tomi gave Colin his bracelet to ward off bad vibes! Oh, and it's true, the bag was teh size of a small child:

Image

Koji and Rika were charming and great fun, and teh Gargamel boys made me very welcome at Thrash Out.

Mori radiates good vibes and friendliness - super rad!

Hiddy is extremely funny and great company, and Chica made lots of fun of me, which is always a good sign!

The Popsoida/Spooky Parade guys rocked my world with their good time punk rock vibes.....

I could go on and on....and I probably will!!!!

OK, Carl. What did you do to Cosmo? He looks like he's about to cry.

It looked like an amazing trip, btw.

Thanks for sharing the pics Carl. Looks like you had such an awesome time.

You're good stuff for always seeking the people out that make the stuff you enjoy and I'm sure getting the chance to meet them adds a whole new level of enjoyment to your collection.
