    And I thought it was because of the vending machines selling slightly used women’s underwear.

    Brilliant Mikhail. We were talking yesterday about the Tokyo locals going to some interesting lengths to avoid crime –vending machines disguises.

    Also, another video in Tokyo featuring Dance Vader. I don’t know why I find this all so fun, but I do. Japan is out there!

    Where else on earth would a group of people spontaneously join in and dance with a stormtrooper on the busiest intersection in town? awesome.

    On a busy Michigan Avenue in Chicago I once saw a guy decked out in a polyester leotard, gold chain, and afro-wig, blasting the Pointer Sisters on an over-sized boombox while grooving next to a sign that read “Graduate Student Discos for Dollars.” People weren’t joining in, though… they were just giving him that same strange look that most people give you when you tell them you’re a grad student. He might as well have been reciting Proust. (Except that he was enjoying himself).
