Also anyone wanting to, there is a very tentative plan for a meet up Thursday evening at studio alta 8pm followed by food somewhere.

Hey dudes. If anyone wants to come to Disney Sea with a little crew tomorrow then just sling me a PM or meet us there. Most folk have my JP phone number but if not, again, sling me a PM and I'll shoot you the number. We're going early in the morning and will be there all day on the 20th.

Wish him to get well and keep smiling :)

Holy fuck man, I hope Hally recovers. I love him and wish him the best.
All of you going to Blipfest tokyo party hard for Hally

Hope he feels better soon, in order to be the conduit for the godlike powers cursed upon him by the primordial chip performance forces that control the universe that he needs to be.

Not good.

Don't know the full story yet but Hally's brother has posted from his twitter saying Hally has been taken to hospital for exhaustion to get rest & a checkup. Hope he's ok!

haven't had much time to prowl around Tokyo so far, but it's been an absolute blast just meeting a ton of like-minded people.

i spent saturday in odaiba with a bunch of the japanese DS-10 crew.  periodically they have an event where they spend the day at a park, plug their DS'es and other sound-making gadgets/apps into a giant mixer + amp, and basically jam together.  there were at least 20 of us hopping in and out of the mix over the course of a few hours.  what a freaking awesome idea.

on Sunday i played a short 10-minute set at a party in roppongi featuring a bunch of DJ's spinning lots of jpop + chiptune + remixes.  everyone there ended up being really surprised at the capabilities of the DS-10!  i'm taking it to be a good sign and i'm looking forward to the crowd i'll be playing for at the blip afterparty.

i've been to tokyo before so i've already done a bit of the exploring stuff, but i'll have much more time for that in the coming days.  any must-sees i should keep in mind?

Cool, it is handy to know though! How are you enjoying Tokyo so far?

the airplane terminals have various locations you can walk up to in order to obtain a rental router.

I was surprised to be able to rent one right at the terminal - everything i read said you need to place an order three days in advance.

one caveat to the mobile wifi router - it only has about 4 hours' worth of power, so you need to budget the time that you need to have it on.  (this pretty much nullifies your ability to be reached via internet 24/7).

Bryface, that is an awesome idea, do you. Have a link to the place you got if from?

i'm leaving for hong kong today for a few days, but i should be free in the mornings/afternoons of oct. 21-24 if anyone is up to do anything.

some useful information for you all: I rented a mobile wifi router from the airport last few days, which has been tremendously useful in its own right (i can tweet/message/email from my laptop and phone anywhere at will), but i think i will need to get an actual tokyo number when i come back on thursday.  unless everyone you know is super on top of their twitter DM's, it's hard to coordinate anything on the spot unless you can reach other by phone right away.
