  • Funding for The City Reporter

    There’s a good chance you’ve already heard of Luis Mendo‘s The City Reporter series — I’ve shared the love on this site in the past, and have handed out a self-published edition of the Tokyo map at one of last year’s PauseTalks. Luis is coming back to Tokyo in early April for a couple of…

  • PauseTalk Vol. 47

    I’m very late on this, and for that I apologize, but here’s the partial attendance list (those who signed up on the attendance sheet) for last month’s PauseTalk Vol. 47 (held February 7). If you’ll remember, it was the first editon following a two-month hiatus, and I think we all had a fun time. The…

  • PauseTalk Tonight

    Since I first posted the reminder over the weekend, here’s just another quick one that this month’s PauseTalk (Vol. 48) is in fact tonight (Monday, March 7) at Cafe Pause, from 20:00. It’s looking like a terrible day in terms of weather, but looks like the snow will stop in the afternoon.

  • PauseTalk This Monday

    I just realized that I forgot to post my regular reminder about the next PauseTalk (Vol. 48), which is happening this Monday (March 7) at Cafe Pause, with a start time of 20:00. I’m also realizing that I didn’t post the list of attendees from last month’s Vol. 47, and apologies for that — it…

It was held at Alin Huma’s F de C Tokyo multi-purpose space, and it was my first visit there. I had a really nice…

It all happens at Cafe Pause in Ikebukuro, with a start time of 20:00 — the cafe is reserved from 19:30, so feel free to come early and hang out. For more on PauseTalk, visit the official site, or…

  • PauseTalk Next Week

    It’s been a long time coming, but yes, following a 2-month hiatus, PauseTalk Vol. 47 is happening this Monday (February 7) at Cafe Pause, with the regular start time of 20:00. The reason for the hiatus was because attendance was getting low at the end of last year, and so I figured it was time…
