Today I rode my bicycle for 5 hours. After eating New Year's soba with some friends, we visited a shrine,
and then spent a few more hours riding around to bicycle shops. Akihabara was crowded, but the car traffic was not so heavy today. It was very tiring, but it felt great to go touring with a bicycle posse. I paid the rent, and was reminded by the realty lady that families who are in mourning like hers do not go to shrines for New Year, only to temples. Then I got on the phone to Studer services in Tokyo to confirm the configuration of my mixing desk which they set up. Great news is that as I thought I have an insert effect send and return per channel. Then I chatted with my friend m who just finished a whirlwind tour of Japan and found him to be in good spirits, and happy to be using the speakers and amp I set him up with. Looking forward to his new mixes on my iDisk. It is wonderful to have a blog, and especially wonderful to have a website.
Well, off to bed!
