me: -freak?

No! And what could be more proof of non-freakiness than this -it's only three Crumpler bags! Some random unused climbing stuff, including 10m accessory cord, serves as a dumping bay for slinged bags. I'm not having a bag fetish -nooooo :)

Went to see the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra last night. WOW! Ten crazy, bouncing, raging jap guys in pink suits(!) playing true ska in a full-on combo of reggae, brass, jazz, klezmer, punk and rock. Very cool. Finally a bit of real music, I've been missing it, dearly.
More stuff tonight, Femi Kuti's rocking out in his nigerian afro-beat groove and another Irish folk band is having a quick gig in the foyer beforehand.
