I don't know if you work for a website called "fan du Japon" because they put a link to your website on their article about Tokyo Decadance Halloween, so I thought that you might work for them regularly. I wrote a report about that Tokyo Decadance also on my blog. http://aliceetpeterpunk.blogspot.com/search/label/%2B%20It%27s%20a%20Gothic%20World I'm looking for people that enjoy going to Gothic Party and report about them (I'm not an actor of these party, just a reporter ^^) so that we can join our talent together. I will probably go to Midnight Mess next Sunday. Let me know if you're going. alice_et_peter_punk@live.fr V. Hi Dave,

So my husband and I leave in 4 days to head off to Japan and my #1 priority for the trip is to make it to the Kurama Fire Festival in Kyoto. My concern is that we wont be able to find our way there. Am I worried over nothing or is there some advice/directions you can throw my way? Thanks for posting that video, I cant explain how excited I get watching it! (Your blog pretty much rocks over all) Thanks - Jessica Hi Samuri Dave…

Rosen Tue, 15 Sep 2009 00:29:32 +0000 #comment-6169 Dear Dave, Thanks you again for allowing your work to appear in No Dribbling the Squid: Octopush, Skin Kicking, Elephant Polo and Other Oddball Sports. We’re looking forward to a very exciting launch for the book in October, and we welcome the participation of all the organizations and photographers who are included in the book. I think you’ll be pleased with how the book turned out: it’s a vibrant compendium of a world of unwieldy sports! While you will be receiving a complimentary copy in late September, I hope you’ll consider the following options: Offer visitors to your Website, Flickr site, or blog the chance to purchase the book at Amazon or Barnes & Noble or an independent bookseller. Just use this link and it will provide those options: http://www.nodribblingthesquid.com/. Join our Facebook page! Offer visitors to your site the chance to do the same; just post this link: http://tinyurl.com/mvu2sk, We’ve even created an app for the book, “What extreme, eccentric, or oddball sport is right for you?” It’s a fun quiz that Facebook participants can take. Likewise, we have a Website for our book, and you’re welcome to link to it, to post comments, videos, photos, or other links. We’re hoping to be a central hub for all sorts of unusual, eccentric, and extreme sports and competitions on the Web. It’s www.nodribblingthesquid.com. Finally, the publisher has offered a 50% discount on the book (so the $12.95 book would be $6.48) to any individual or organization who purchases 16 copies or more. (That would be $103.60—shipping included—for 16 books rather than $207.20). Just contact Judi Marshall in special sales: jmarshall@amuniversal.com. Since writing you originally, all these online promotional efforts have become more important to the viability of marketing a book. Unless you object, we would like to use low-res versions of an image that you supplied for this book as an icon or an illustration for the book’s promotion. It could appear on the Facebook page, Website, or quiz application. We’ll provide photographer credits wherever it’s possible. Again, this will be little more than backgrounds and reference materials (along with videos from YouTube, links to other sites, and comments from visitors) to energize the content of the sites. My thanks in advance. Best wishes and reiterated thanks, Michael J. Rosen Dear Dave,

Can you please tell me exactly the source of the music? I would also love to hear some more from you about your motivation and ideas to produce this video. I have always felt a sort of mystical Japanese culture: music, Hokusai, go, etc. After seeing your video I started digging around on the internet about Shakuhachi, and hope to learn and experience more. Thank you so much for sharing your creation, and I very much hope to hear some more details from you! Thanks, Erik Johnson, in the Southwest, USA Dave,

I just started my blog which will play in part in the same league, but will soon be oriented towards a different angle about any events, social, corporate or cultural. I was living in Kyoto last year and will slowly publish some great memories and photos and then move on on with my own interests. I put your blog in my links and hope you will get some more visit. Thank you for sharing your time. Denis : http://denisevents.wordpress.com/ Dear Samurai Dave,
