Dr. Sketchy's Tonight!

If you're not doing anything tonight you should come on Down to The Pink Cow for another exciting installment of Dr. Sketchy's Anti-art school sketch-o-rama. It promises to be interesting.

Shiko-who?

I gotta call last Thursday for a children's theater gig beginning in two weeks.
Then I gotta call on Friday asking me if I was available for some on-the-job training over the weekend.
Sure.
Why not!
Picked up my tickets to get there but it turns out there is WAY over there as in SHIKOKU
as in off the mainland damn near to Okinawa
Wow!
So I got a new job and a prepaid vacation to gorgeouslandia.
Not even the rain could detract from its beauty.

The world's smallest marching band greeted me at my gate.


The actors were all very welcoming!


And the macha was delicious.


This job rocks so far!

Stormy Weather

If the weather must be inclement
and the sun temporarily timid,
relief is in the artist,
bold of stroke and light of hand
with power to illuminate all the land.

Channeling Thoreau

Today I will go confidently in the direction of my dreams.
I will live the live the life that I have imagined.

...but first I have to pee.

Brazilian Spice

Funtivities abounded this weekend with a fond farewell party to my good friend Julie a fellow Tokyo thespian with an enormous heart. We will miss you Juliebeuboolie! Good luck on the left coast!

Spirits were high as the girls and I pumped our fists carnival style at the Brazilian Festival in Yoyogi Park.

Tokyo's cheap knock off the colorful celebration was enough to whet our appetites for the real thing.

Look out Sao Paulo here we come!

Chandelier Fetish Party

If you haven't been to a Chandelier Fetish party, you haven't lived.


Sushizume's soiree last night was both succulent and posh.


In keeping with the theme I brought what may look like Shaquille O'neal poo to some but was actually my tribute to my dear friend Akiko


who's birthday we observed like The Queen (well after the initial day) and as a token of my love I thought it only appropriate that she should get this


After she gave me these for my special day.

Worldwind

What's the first thing you do when you get back to town?
Why everything of course.

Upon arriving back in the land of Karaoke I came home to this.


Which I turned into this.


Then I went on down to The Tokyo Comedy Store for a little of this.


But the highlight of this whole past week was the Yukata party thrown by my friend Raymon, Creative Director of Cloud Nine. This month Cloud Nine featured stunning Yukatas by Hirko of Hirocoledge who joined forces with hair and make-up legend Noboru Tomizawa who always gaurantees that getting ready for the party is half the fun!

I'm Baaack!

LA was gorgeous. To go from a Broadway playhouse, to the beaches of LA and then on to the stage at the Tokyo Comedy Store in just one week feels like a bit of a world wind. For all those who haven't seen me in the last couple months please come on out to the Tokyo Comedy Store Friday August 24th for a rip roaring good time.

Here's a sneak peak at some of the explosive energy you'll be witness to.



See you FRIDAY!!!!

I HEART NYC

Oh New York how I love thee let me count the ways...
Can you tell I just saw Shakespeare in the Park?
So many Broadway shows...so little time.
Who knew you could have so much fun in one week.
I have nobody but my friends to thank.
Big shout out to the Game nite crew.



Next stop on the 2007 U.S. tour
California's City of Angeles!
Look out LA here I come!

Holiday Update

I am now more than 2/3 through my summer holiday and kicking myself for not being more diligent with the blog. Sure, I've got no real vacation photos except this one with new DC pal Stephan.

but other bloggers never let that get in the way. So here's to creative blogging. Being in America is always good for a laugh. Mostly we wish people were laughing with us but not everyone can be that fortunate.

God Bless America!
