10/20 sees the Biz Nites team move on back to Daikanyama Tableaux after last months Photo Nite. Thanks to all 180 of you who attended Photo Bite despite the pouring rain - wasn't it an inspirational night! Thanks for the support.

So, this months event is supposed to be running with 30% Hawaiian content but it remains to be seen if we will achieve that. Hawaiians are a rare breed in the megalopolis, it seems! :( We do have the guys from the Uni of Hawaii coming along to do a table and a bunch of excellent non-Hawaiians making presentations, including the snarkily brilliant Dave Gutteridge from the Tokyo Comedy Club talking about the comedy scene in Tokyo.

Other presenters include the Japan Times illustrator Chris Mackenzie, who'll be talking about illustrating for newspapers and magazines;

...and Artist/photographer Matthew Messner who will be discussing a digital video installation he created that involved the use of multiple video and rapid imagery projections through thin, translucent material in addition to live camera footage and two-way mirrors;

...and Richard Lane from DI.fm, which is the largest fully licensed dance music radio network in the world. They broadcast free internet radio to the world and are 100% fully licensed with soundexchange in America. DI's daily listenership peaks at over 70,000 simultaneous listeners and is listed prominently in Apple's itunes radio, AOL music, and windows media directories.

...and our fabulous resident DJ James Carstensen who will help you get your boogie on between presentations.

There are some more juicy surprises being planned and I will be updating the facebook Biz Nites fan page with details over the weekend....

As usual, Tableaux are offering Biz Nites guests drink specials (700 yen drinks) and their delicious buffet (1300 yen). Remember, Daikanyama is just 5 minutes from Shibuya on the Toyoko - directions can be found here.

See you on Monday night, doors open at 6 pm - 11:30 pm

PS - if you are a Tokyo blogger, please do me a favour and make a mention of this event on your blog - (love viral advertising)
