The Happening – Coming to Tokyo April 11, 2008

My world-roaming friend Will, (from the Surf Gallery down in Laguna), has been at it again.

Besides the art gallery he puts on these really groovy art/music/film festivals that are called “The Happening”. They just finished up one show down in Australia, at Bondi, (near Sydney)…and it looked like it was a very good time.

Will even sent me some video of the event that he had posted on YouTube. Check it out when you get a chance…they have a hot girl (Kassia Meador) MC’ing the video, which makes it even easier to watch.



Anyway Will says that they are off to Japan for the next stop on The Happening Tour

If you happen to be going to Japan, or are in Japan and looking at Southern California Surf Forecasts for some reason…maybe you will be able to make it to the show.
