ロックバーGODZ

autographs at GODZ in Tokyo including Stratovarius, Outrage, Children of Bodom, and The Crown

The metal bar Godz in Shinjuku, one of Japan’s many themed establishments in this genre, is not easy to find. You probably don’t want to look at a map as you’re walking the alleys of Kabukicho, or you’ll have five Nigerians all over you trying to get you to go to their place. Study the map beforehand and then walk straight there without talking to anyone or responding to anyone trying to help you. Head downstairs for Godz.

Once inside, strike up a conversation with anyone, and the rest of the evening will be wonderful.

Today’s photo is of some signatures hanging on the wall. I took this picture to compare the Outrage autographs to the ones I have hanging in my office. It looks like Naoki Hashimoto wasn’t with the band when the other three members signed the one hanging in Godz so maybe this one was obtained around the time of 24-7 or “Cause for Pause”.

Burney Falls (California)

We’ve been up and down Highway 89 probably close to a dozen times over the past 15 years. However, we’ve always been in too much of a hurry to stop and check out Burney Falls. What a mistake! We should have made time. Yesterday was the first time we took the time to stop. It didn’t take long, and the beauty of the this place is incredible.

My random, desktop image of the day is this one from the top of the Umeda Sky Building. This place offers night views for a fee, but you’ll be better off going up with a lover than a camera as most of the views are partially obscured by fencing (as you can see in the bottom of this photo if you look closely) or building parts.
