As the closing seconds approach on the opening of Reed Space Japan, it seems as with any project, that the last little bits and pieces are the toughest to complete. Why is that? Is it the relentless pursuit of perfection that can never be attained? Is it just anal obsessiveness? Or is it the nature of life that the toughest parts just come last? Well regardless, thanks to everyone who stayed beyond a reasonable hour to make this thing happen.
I was still able to have some fun and meet some friends in between all the Reed madness.
Thanks to Riko for letting me in on Hikaru Utada‘s final concert of her summer tour at Yoyogi Park. This chick is one of the biggest recording artists in Japanese history. Hikaru simply has an amazing voice that can move the crowd.
Spy shot of Nick from Twelve Bar in Japanese book store Book 1st. I politely waited till he was out of the nudie section.
Grabbed a great dinner with Celux/LVMH team…they are happy to have a fancy new door to their main office. And also happy about the Nike AF1 CELUX MEMBERS EDITION. You’re not likely to get a pair unless you’re a member of Celux. But maybe, just maybe there is some strings that can be pulled…stayed tuned for details.
A TON of people from NYC repping this week for the Reed opening. Miguel and Anthony just got into town… A late night chill out session at a local lounge.
And finally a flashback from my man Fats from Bread & Butter Berlin. I don’t know what Steven, Fraser and I were cracking up about…but apparently Jesse was not amused. Thanks Fats!
The store is looking real nice. I’ll be checking it out in the VERY near future!! I was hoping to check out your talk @ the Ginza Apple store…but I’ll be out of town for the holiday. Too bad for me.
hold tight
Congrats on the new shop. It looks amazing. I definately have to make a visit when I go to Japan.
