I don't really know a lot of people here yet partly because I always forget to post stuff here, but anyway, if anyone's inclined, come celebrate my birthday with me at MoguMogu in Asagaya. Live music and great DJs and gluten-free cake while supplies last!
First gig of the year!

We're really really bad about posting on here, but if anyone's up for some experimental pop tonight we're playing in Koenji at a place called Showboat. Great lineup of experimental electronic stuff for those who dig that.
Btw we're on at 7:30!

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

@santadharma.bsky.social costumes slowly coming together, but won't reveal. Come down and check it out! Great lineup of musicians & our friend Dreya with incredible music selection. Halloween fun w/o the crowds & chaos. Super cheap if you dress up 😊 If you've never been to MoguMogu...

And technically we're kinda playing 10/19 at California Bliss Dept. although @lanasolyluna.bsky.social will do a solo set (Sushi Neko Roll), and Dhamo will play with Mike from Snickerdoodle (as Swimming Pools).

I think I finally decided what I'll try to be for Halloween. Hoping I can find the pieces I need in time! Will post pics if I can pull it off or come to the @santadharma.bsky.social gig on 10/26 at MoguMogu (Asagaya). It's going to be a couple's one. (Again, IF we can pull it off. 😅)

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Realized I didn't post this here if anyone wants to come! Happy to organize this show for Waterflower, who is touring from Latvia. Come see music made w/ mushrooms & plants. I'll also do a solo set w/ a Portachord (predecessor to the Omnichord).
