I just bought tickets to see a friend....

こんばんは、
It dawned on me today that the end of the month was approaching, which means my friend from Michigan, Bone is coming to NYC.

He's a phenomenal metal drummer. His band, Still Remains is playing Thrs night at the Highline ballroom. I'm not the biggest fan of this style of music, but most of my male friends back home are huge deathmetal/hardcore fans.

And I can't forget about...

Anathallo, who are also very near to my heart. I recorded albums for them not too far back. They're playing in October. I'm pretty happy to have these two slices of Michigan at my doorstep.

Also, I took advantage of today's gorgeous weather and went running down riverside park. On my way back I discovered the New York Buddhist Church, located on riverside drive between 105th and 106th streets. What caught me off guard was...
A pretty large sculpture of Shinran Shonen! I studied him and his contributions to Pure Land buddhism in a humanities course about Japan and an East Asian Studies course.

I actually like heavy metal; what kind of music are you into?

おはようございます。Still Remainsをききました。That's my kind of music (^^). I hope your friend's band will be as successful as Slipknot, another band from the midwest!

Interesting article as for me. I'd like to read a bit more about that theme. The only thing your blog misses is a few pics of any devices.

How about changing it once in a few months?
