112/365: Nov 3 2008. Deanne and Masao, the awesome duo who run Tokyomade, have been putting on a quarterly art market, Fragment for the past year. It's been steadily growing and today's event was held at the far more spacious venue Super Deluxe, in Roppongi. It typically features arts and crafts stalls, live painting and DJ's. Always an inspirational hoot and well worth your support.

113/365: Nov 4 2008. Eizo Biz Nite. Event days are always a stressy scramble and I never remember to pick up my camera till well on my way home. This is the lovely little street that leads from Nishi-Ogikubo Station to my place well after midnight.

114/365: Nov 5 2008. I spent the morning at Lara's place, helping her photograph her beautiful pottery. She made me a lovely lunch and we heard the news together that Obama had won via a text message. A great day indeed. Later on I had a long meeting in Aoyama, and afterwards had a great conversation with my buddy Leila about Obama, and being black in America. A remarkably fresh, cool and unique angle on that big issue, one that opened my eyes. I love that living in a major international city gives me so many opportunities to be given insights into so many different cultures.



115/365: Nov 6 2008. Lots of teaching today. This is sweet, sweet Sari. She is getting married soon to a guy from her work. They started dating 5 months ago so it's a kinda whirlwind romance.....

116/365: Nov 7 2008. The TELL (Tokyo English Lifeline) Connoisseurs’ Charity Auction was on today, and yours truly played the part of photographer. This year the event was held at the Canadian Embassy, and was a huge success in terms of fundraising for this important NPO. My bestest buddy was the event organiser, and he is an amazing event planner so it was always going to a huge success despite his qualms about the recent economic climate.

117/365: Nov 8 2008. Spent the day watching news videos and Obama's speeches again. So very happy, so very relieved.

118/365: Nov 9 2008. A lazy Sunday - drank lots of coffee, read some Vanity Fair magazines recently donated to me by Helen and headed in to the Clothes Swap at the Pink Cow for the afternoon with Yuiko, Kat and Sigsy. Stared clearing out the cupboards...
