I only have a few weeks left before the election to visit Obama, Japan. A sea side town only 3 hours from Osaka, this little place has gotten behind the American Presidential Candidate with vigour. Local vendors are even selling ‘Obama for Obama’ T shirts and cakes. I need to go.
On Sunday, Hon and I rewound the clocks to 1990 and went all USJ on your ass. AKA, we rehashed the fun that was Back To The Future, E.T, Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park! Here are some pics:
The Portable Film Festival has just released info about their new ROAD MOVIE SHOWCASE! EEKK, sounds delicious, right?
From September 29th, Portable Film Festival invites you onboard Road Movie, our latest showcase release! From the highways to the byways, Portable takes a laterally thinking cinematic trip through the road movie genre, showcasing the best cross-country short film, music video and animation from all over the world!
FYI: You can also download all vids and put them on your ipoddy to watch on boring train trips. Saweet!
Here in Japan, people don’t really seem to give a shit about what is going on in the world around us. Or is it simply because I cannot understand the news, we’ll never know. Politics is not a polite topic of conversation, so I stick to my Tumblr feed when it comes to International news (oh and the BBC). I find the select 30 something people I follow seem to filter out the crap and only post the news I am interested in…such as this Sarah Palin video from College Humor, which I cannot embed as the player is too big! bah!
Anyway, it’s funny. Bring on November 4th so we can stop all the brouhaha and decide the fate of the world.
Considering lovegeek has been made in Japan for the past six months, we figure it makes sense to base the next zine on our experiences here.
As artists, there is endless stimulation not only in the vast neon metropolises or beautiful country escapes, but also in the contradictions and quirks of Japanese culture, religion and way of life. So we invite people who have lived and worked in Japan as artists, musicians, missionaries, whatever, to be involved in Issue Four of lovegeek ‘we live in the future’.
Drop us an email: info@lovegeekzine.net if you are interested in being interviewed.
