One of the big events of our stay in Tokyo was Veronica deciding to get her hair straightened (mainly because the Japanese invented the ION Straightening Perm System. She went to the salon Kua frequents in Harajuku, It took 6 and a half hours!
Meanwhile, I had a bit of free time. I wandered through the immaculate stores that make everyone just want to BUY things. Managed to stumble into the Design Festa, a free art gallery. While having a coffee I struck up a conversation with Hiro, a self professed Tokyo homeboy who loves P-Funk. He was busy running his own art installation, the Milk Bar, which in essence was a free bar. I ended up spending the afternoon with him drinking Jack Daniels, being involved in a photo shoot at the gallery, and meeting some cool Japanese artists and some fellow travelers.
