Hello Tokyo, Rock on Chicago

Greeting citizens of Tokyo. Jason Mojica of Metroblogging Chicago here. Today was my first day in Tokyo. I came here to meet up with co-founder of The Modernist, Edgar Barrington, see the Maguro Parasite Museum, eat as many octopus balls as possible and be made deaf by rock music. In just a few hours, I’ve already knocked the first three off my list (though not in that order, I decided that I might not be able to down octopus balls after being repulsed at the parasite museum, though having that rich combination of sea creature, mayonaise, and moist dough in my stomach while taking in the exhibit didn’t really help, either), and now we’re off to take in The Registrators’ last show aka=the real reason I came to Tokyo.

After that, is there really anything left to do?

    Ummmm - I think that’s the “Meguro” Parasite Museum…
    Meguro is the place - “Maguro” is the fish.
    Pretty gross, either way.
    ;-p

    Ah yes. Color my face red. There were many fish parasites, though.

    I liked the museum -
    We bought little cartoon parasite pins !!
    And i eat takoyaki all the time !!

    The best place for takoyaki is this little stall on the street across from shinjuku train eki .
    And who are the Registrators ?
    never heard of them .
