Obama Victory Celebration at Burton Bowl Shibuya

It was a great relief to me to learn that finally, FINALLY, Americans did the right thing and voted for change. We decided to go to the Burton Bowl in Shibuya for a celebration skate session.  Many thanks to Junpei at Burton for the invitation, and to Naoya and Kuma for taking me down. Of course, it was awesome to see Rip Sensei again – Rip, call me when you are in the ‘Couv this winter!!!

Black Market Sandinista – SS2009 Exhibition

The Spring/Early Summer 2009 Exhibition has just wrapped up, and we would like to thank all who came down to support. The great part about the tenjikai is all the friends coming down to visit, most of whom I have not seen in a year or more.  I was busy catching up and mostly forgot to take photos, but here are a few random snaps.

Miki and Kuma’s new arrival (well, 9 months ago!), say hello Yuto-chan!

Always great to see ‘Vancouver’ Aya-chan!
