Transit from Tokyo to San Diego Comicon, Day 1 (July 22, ’09)

Posted on 07.22.09 under Uncategorized

Made it here, it was a bit of a stress test. After Tokyo Tower flashed by, traffic was very bad from Rainbow Bridge to Urayasu (Tokyo Disneyland) — I suspect a fender-bender.

There was supposed to be a total eclipse of the sun visible today in Japan, but as you can see when it rains, no eclipse visible on ground level.

It took just under 2 hours to get to Narita and then…. We discovered we had forgotten something… Many phone calls and much stress later we figured out a solution. But Isaac would have to fly standby on the next flight and in SF, wait all afternoon for the 6PM flight to SD. So he’ll miss Preview Night. But it turned out fine and hopefully a lesson was learned.

Here are a few preliminary shots of San Diego.

This is also a Navy town…

I made a music video for Larry Frumson called, “Tokyo, My Town,” back in 1990. We worked with a producer, Casey Rankin, who sadly passed away from cancer in January this year. Until I ran into Larry at the American Embassy about 5 years ago, it had been about 15 years since I last saw him. Larry has managed to maintain his music and modeling career over the 38 years he has spent in Tokyo. Remarkable.
