Had a kind of Tokyo Journal reunion. Tony and Sophia, Yuki, Jun the Photographer, and the old editor Gregg Star. We had some Thai food and talked smack for a few hours. Damn, those where the days. I still have all the old TJ websites we made; I gotta pull them off disk and put them up. We did stuff back in 1995 that nobody could even touch, especially in Japan.
And then that bastard Brad Barts (or something like that) came in, bought the magazine, Gregg and all the editorial staff quit, sued, won, and that was the end of it.
Tokyo Journal is still around, a shell of it's former self, but back in the mid '90s it was THE English rag in Tokyo; a great read, a great resource. All those who know it surely miss it.
