To Paraphrase a T-Rex: "I Want to Plug My Band. Please Allow Me."

Sorry it's been so quiet 'round these parts lately...I promise, it's not because we've all been turned into Godzillas or superheroes over here. Things have been groovy enough, in fact, that a funky-ass concert is just about to break out:


I do, in fact, have plenty to say about many topics of interest. So, as a preview for the upcoming weeks of "Amazing Tales of the Gaijin Patrol," be sure to look forward to hearing about...

• * A trip to Beppu, the Las Vegas of Japan! Except instead of a desert, it's boiling pits of molten sulfur, and instead of gambling, it's taking baths!

• * A look back at a year of teaching kindergarten and having meetings.

• * An unflinching look at how information flows in the Internet Age and how it affects popular perceptions. With...video game jokes, probably.

• * Kit Kats!

• * And more!

See you at the show on Saturday! Like the man said, "Free concerts and your ass will follow." Or something.
