and bloganometry up your way, but that is because since

I got back from Hawai’i there has been a ton of

stuff going on here in the ATX.

I will be filling you in with an ATX exclusive blog so

you can see exactly what all I have been up to on the home turf soon,

but for right now I want you to sit back and relax and think about

a relaxing breeze, palm trees, delicious food, and chill vibes.

Because this blog takes place on the Big Island!

Upon arrival I knew this was going to be quite a

different vibe from Key West, and I was

absolutely correct.

Although, I stayed at probably the poshest place on the island

the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel,

which was originally built by the Rockafeller Fam and has one of the best beaches on the

island, my first night I had dinner plans at the Four Seasons Beach Tree Restaurant,

where I saw my hommie Steve Carell.

The true reason for my trip was my friends Gabe and Christine’s wedding

and we had the rehearsal dinner there.

I met Gabe and Christine on my trip a year earlier in Italy, where

the two fell in love.  Gabe being from Hawai’i

and that being another piece of the puzzle of their story made

it the perfect location for the wedding.

Let me say this was a really beautiful wedding!  I have pics,

but I am gonna keep that to myself for privacy reasons for the lovely couple.

Well, I might have one just so you can see the location on

the 3rd hole of the Mauna Kea golf course.

After the wedding and reception were over we spent the next day on the

island with Gabe, Christine, and their daughter swimming until

finally it was time for the Mauna Kea’s famous Clambake!

Later that night everyone else left, but I stayed on for a few extra days to chill and tour the island.

The first day I rented a convertible and drove around the south side of the island

all the way to Hilo, which I might say took all day!!!!

But first I saw my first Hawaiian black beaches on

the way to the volcano!

After heading to Hilo and all the way back to the

Mauna Kea Beach Hotel I needed a a rest because I had a Jeep reserved

for the next day to take a ride down a steep hill and do some off roading in

Waipi’o Valley.

This place was amazing and totally secluded.  It is where the river meets the ocean and

is truly magical!  I did some hiking and tried a Portuguese doughnut filled with

guava after my dip in the deep blue ocean.

The next two days were filled with me just chilling and swimming at

the Mauna Kea Resort.

I had such a crazy time in Key West that I just needed to rest and suck down

some delicious lava flows oceanside!

That was pretty much it for my Hawai’i trip,

but it was a much needed escape after the wreck and everything else that had happened

in Key West.

Lots of new crazy stuff has happened since so keep your eyes open!

This one has been a week or two in the making and I know I have been

neglecting the fans since the trip to China at least blog-wise although I have kept

an all but low profile on Twitter and Facebook.

But enough about that I am gonna fill you all in right now on what has

been going on since I left the Orient!

First though I wanna lead into this with a little quote from one

of my favorite movies of all time Cocktails staring

our boy Tom Cruise back in the day!

But the quote is actually from the other star of the movie

the character  Jeff Coglin,

“Collin’s law never tell stories about a woman,

no matter how far away she is from you she’ll hear about it.”

There are a couple of reasons I am starting this blog like that,

but I am only gonna get into one.

Mr. Dan Meehan long time friend of mine is getting hitched in September

and I am the best man

(of course that is just an opinion and probably

not an educated one)!

So for his bachelor party we decided to do it up

correct and threw him a bash to remember in Ft. Lauderdale and Key West!

Or as I now call it Key Vegas/ Key Hell!

The drinking and shenanigans began in the Austin airport with myself, Dan, and

Mr. Caleb Kilborn.

This equation always equals trouble…. Always….

But this was just the beginning once on board we shortly

hit the Gulf of Mexico and were able to spot BP’s oil spill.

Being 3^rd Coast born and raised this had an ill effect on Caleb and I especially.

But we soon found refuge under the wings of a Wild Turkey!

or two….. or well too many…

These really got us out of our funk and when we hit land we were ready to get into some real trouble!

Here is a photo of me donning my LeBron T in honor of The Decision 2010!

On the balcony with the man of the hour Danimal at the Pier 66

Hyatt in Ft. Lauderdale!

Later that night we would be blessed with the arrival of George and Casey from

New York and New Jersey and the final arrival was that of

Matt Gawronski of Minneapolis (gotta get back up there soon!)

The next morning I had the pleasure of driving these hooligans down to Key Hell in an aptly named “Bang Van” or a 12 passenger van as to be inconspicuous.

All this after we all shot gunned beers in the parking lot of Wal-Mart!

(I mean they all did that….)

On arrival Key West looked pretty legit ,

We took refuge at the Key West Hyatt and started slurping down libations as soon as we walked in.

They did have some of the best pina coladas I have ever had!

Little did we know this town was basically a cleaned up version

of NOLA also it was the Hemmingway Festival

so shit was off the chizzzain!

After drinking until like 4am (yeah the bars were open that late! YIIIIIKKKKEEESS!)

we had an 8am deep sea fishing trip scheduled.

Yeah and somehow we made it…

Even with this feat the captain of the boat was not amused.

Let me rephrase that and get on my soap-box a minute.

The captain of our boat just so happened to be the hugest duesche bag and

dick in Key Bumpsky land!

His name is Dan… He looks like the love child of Captain Ron.

If he is the captain of your boat run and reschedule or just don’t tip the bastard at

the end of the trip.

A prime example of this bitch not doing his job and sitting on his ass….

Okay so enough of the calling him out, and now on to the rest of the story!

Aside from Captain Kill joy we rocked out there!

Here is a sick Miami Vice pic of our Dan

and Mr. G-$!

The rest of this day was pretty chill just played some wiffleball

on the beach and sipped some libations before

heading to the bars and then heading in for

an early night at about midnight.

We had something super important to do the next morning.

Something that I am still suffering the consequences of right now.

We rented scooters to tour the island on!

After riding the scooter for about 2-3 hours I suppose I became a little

over confident with my skills on this hog.

I have to say seeing an athletic guy like Matt Gawronski

up ahead of me gave me a false sense that I could handle the beast as he did!

Long story short what happen was as we took a detour

into a newly paved hotel parking lot I saw some of my fellow riders speed up

and hit the speed bumps while hitting the gas and it looked like a hell of

a lot of fun!  Unfortunately, I decided to to this on the last speed bump

in the parking lot.  So as I was hitting the gas

everyone ahead of me was hitting the brakes!

I too had to hit the brakes, but I hit only the

front brake causing my front wheel to flip around

and throw my stead to the pavement with my leg under it!

The two of us slid along on the ground a few feet causing the leg injury I now have!

Leg a couple days later...

After the spill we decided it was best to go back to the Hyatt and change my clothes

and dress my wounds.  In the photo’s included it may look a little weak

sauce but trust me my friends this was painful painful painful.

The only thing that could make me feel better was

chocolate dipped key lime pie on a stick oh

and 302’s (151 + 151).

Just before George and G-$ had to leave! Kilborn, Nevaeh, and Gawronski!

After the accident all I wanted to do was turn in the bike and hopefully

not get caught for scrapping the hell out of the bike.

When we turned them in I think that the

bike shop attendant’s herbal hobbies

must have helped me to get away with dragging one of his sweet hogs

across the Key West pavement that day!

After that we went hard early that night and it was probably the only way

I could sleep through the pain!

We even ran into the bike shop kid and he thought he recognized us….

but we swiftly replied we weren’t who he thought we were!

The next day all that was on our minds was evacuating the island and food!

So we packed up the bang van and drove back to Ft. Lauderdale…

We had one last night to party, and hence we tried to,

but one thing I can say about Ft. Lauderdale the

service is so bad that they make it

pretty hard to party.

The next day I had a flight to catch to yet another paradise

Hawai’i’s Big Island!

This trip would prove to be a bit more relaxing!

And boy was that needed!

I had a great time with our “Wolf Pack” on Key West,

Casey Masterson, Matt Gawronski, George Ackerman, Dan Meehan, Caleb Kilborn, and myself.

but I can’t say that I wanna relive it anytime soon!

Big ups and much love to all the guys!

Stay tuned for the Kona half of the blog!

~XOXO~

Cain

Ps. Thank you to Casey Masterson for some sweet photos including the header image with the 24’s!  Check out more of his photos on the Facebook Album “Fresh Water Conch“.

It has taken a ride down the Yangtze River, a couple days in

Shanghai, and about 25hrs in airports and planes plus

a bunch of naps to get this blog up!

So here we go!

The first day of my cruise down the

river began in the city of Chingqing.

A bustling Chinese city I had never even heard of with a population

of 38 million!!!!!!  How the Hell did this little town

miss my radar all this time?

Aside from 38 million homosapiens living in the area

this city also boasts one of the best  Zoo’s in

all of China with the most of these guys in it in all of Asia!

After the pandas and the zoo I went down the road to

ANOTHER Pagoda!  While there I ran into

some of my Chinese high school fans

who had just taken their exams!

After chatting with these guys for a minute it was time to hit the cruise

on the Yangtze River on the Century Sun cruise ship!

The boat was just the relaxation station that I needed after my

visit to Tibet and providing the tunes on the ship

were these Eastern Europeans:

These cats were pumping out the bombest tunes from

Garth to Willie while we were rocking down the locks of the

3 Gorges Damn!

After dancing my face off for a bit it was time to drop more than 500 feet

and go through the lock a process that takes a full 5 hours or more!

After retiring to my cabin and letting the captain do his job

and get us all through the locks and pop, lock, and

dropping the the boat all night I woke up

with a tiny hangover to go and meet

the kids at a school that were

putting on a little show

me and my friends on the boat!

After a really great day with the children in a small country side school

it was time for a celebration with my favorite tour guide Iowa.

It just so happened to be his birthday and so we decided

to have a little party for our wonderful guide!

All in all, the celebration was a hit with Iowa,

and I think that everyone cried just a little!

Very soon we would be hitting up Shanghai

and the trip to China would be over in just a few short days for me.

Shanghai was the dopest city possibly on the whole Asia tour!

While walking around the city of Shanghai I was a little sad because I

had met some great people and yes a ride or die chick!

My time in the city and the Far East was about to be over,

and I didn’t want it to be.

But you know such is life, I wanna say I will be back in Shanghai!

China is history folks, but I wanna say that China is the Bongest!

Def gonna miss the kids in China, but I have a big issue

I had to get back to in America the BP oil spill.

That’s right in late July if you’re in Miami

and Key West get ready and check me out!

I am going to be in the big bad FLA

seeing what the damage is down there

and seeing if Kevin Costner’s oil

vacuum is a reality.

Until then

we got a big 4th coming up and some

other bomb ass trips in store so get ready to play this summer!

Upon my arrival in Tibet I was greeted by Pachang who would

be my local guide throughout my stay in Lhasa

the city known as “the roof of the world”.

He came around bearing silk scarves a traditional welcome in Tibet,

and when he brought my scarf to me he said,

“Welcome to Nirvana”.

I knew that Tibet was going to be a special place, but it didn’t

hit me until I landed and saw the place in all its glory

just how sick it was really going to be!

Now maybe it was the altitude or something else,

but some serious spiritual shit was going on in my head as I cruised

on the bus to Lhasa.

On the real though this place is so high that I had a hard time coping for a bit

lack of oxygen to the dome I suppose, but in its sheer

beauty I got all teary eyed.

Once I got into Lhasa I was pretty F’ed in regard to the altitude, but

I had to get some grub and I got Pachang to take me to his

favorite local restaurant to get my first shot at Yak!

Now normally I try to stay away from red meat, but you know

when in Tibet do as the Tibetans do!

Although, it is all a blur now I think that I was pretty happy with

the Yak!

After a quick lunch it was time for me to go see the Dalai Lama’s

palace the Potala Palace, which is located at the top

of a hill in all its majesty.

The palace was super dope, but the climb up was intense!

I workout a lot, but damn!  Not gonna

lie I almost passed out a couple

of times in the

high altitude.

So note to all you out there you

should be sure you take a rest for a day or two before

getting ballsy in Tibet!

After a cold beer from “The Roof of the World”

I had to hit the bed because day 2 in Tibet was full of wisdom.

The next day I went to meet the Tibetan Monks.

When I arrived on the scene the monks

were involved in one of there

regular activities

group debate

in fact you could hear them

yelling and slapping hands from quite a distance.

By slapping the back of their hands the monks were scolding the monk they were

debating with for being wrong.  A question they would typically ask would be,

“what is big?”  The correct answer would be, “big is relative”.

I was able to chat with one of the monks after debates and meditation.  From the

look

of his smile I think that my Karma is pretty good!

During my time with the monks they gave me a special necklace

that was formed by a rock called an agate turning

in the sand for years and years and well

years! The designs on the rock are all

natural and said to have meanings.

The rock that they

gave me

is said to increase

celebrity and bring more riches to the

person wearing it!

I liked their choice!

After blessing the stone the monks told me that I would have to give a

substantial contribution to them in order for their blessing to work!

So I guess that Buddhist monks have the same

mantra as me…

Gotta spend money to make money!

Before leaving Tibet the next morning I had one last stop to make.

A local family had asked me to join them for Yak butter tea and some traditional

barely beer.  Since they were fans how could I refuse?

The yak butter tea was actually really dank!  And the barely wine was super

strong! Always a bonus!  The day seemed really perfect and the

next day I had to be out of Tibet early, because my special

Visa into Nirvana was running out!

Tibet was a magical place and I am so happy that I

was able to see what it was all about.

Hopefully, the happy monks will remember me in their chants

and I hope that money thing will be on their minds for

sure!

I’ll try to get some new blogs up ASAP, but I am on a luxury liner on the Yangtze.

It is baller, but the internet ain’t all that!

About 5 days until I get nasty in Shanghai though so keep your heads knoddin’ !

Dasha deli! (Tibetan for best wishes)

~Cain

PS. Sorry for the delay! Service is terrible on a boat!

adventure of my trip.  Japan had been just shopping

and a bunch of planned BS and appearances.

Don’t get me wrong I love Japan and it

was dope as hell,

but it was time to get into some

Big Trouble in well Big China!

And you know I just felt I had to rough it a bit…

Okay not on your life are you crazy?

This is China!

It is the place you here about people coming back

from a trip, and 10 years later a

parasite is found in your brain on the autopsy report from some General TSO’s

chicken you ate from the streets was what caused you to try and

surf on the roof of your car down I-35 at 100+mph.

So luckily I had my people set me

up with a room at

the Shangri-la resort

The China World Hotel in Beijing!

Beijing is a wonderful place, and like I said I came to here to just

chill and do a few touristy things since this was my first time to

this city.  After being here I know that I

BONG! BONG! BONG!

Beijing!

(Get your minds out your arses kids! Bong = love in chinese!)

As soon as I got my bags to my room

I decided to Anthony Bourdain this sh*t

and hoof it over to the 798 Arts District in this really

run down part of the small city of 20mil.

The reason for the trip over was I knew it was the only time

I was gonna get to see my friend’s Terrence (Asian Punk Boy) Koh

and Ryan McGinley’s art show that had just opened in

Bongin’ Beijing!

I first saw Ryan’s photos on an episode of Gossip Girl

and really loved his waifie models and funky colors.

Terrence and I just like to party together and

I knew that he would never let it die if

I came to Beijing and didn’t see his show!

This show was a fun time, and there was free wine and crackers so

I can’t complain about that!  Afterwards I was totally beat and needed

a little seista before a night out on the town, which I might add was very much needed!

That night I was going to a fabled bar/club called Chocolate!

This is a really surreal place it has all these beautiful

Russian girls who are waitresses, bartenders,

and of course GO GO Dancers!

The other smaller

surprise is the

bouncer.

This hot spot was off the chain, but let me warn you don’t go

to Chocolate if you want to remember your night!

I’m not sure how I got home, but I did make it

and my suite looked like a scene from Piven’s

room in Smokin’ Aces the next morning!

But I had some important stuff to do that morning

like head over to see Tianamen Square

and the big famous pic of Chairman Mao!

Tianamen Square is apparently the biggest city square

in the world as I found out.  It can fit 1million

people standing shoulder to shoulder on it at one time.

So yeah it is big!

After a stroll under the pic of Chairman Mao

I entered the Forbidden City.

This was the palace of the emperor of China,

BUT sadly as I looked over this vast estate…..

I could only think of one person…

Yeah it’s crazy and effin’ annoying!

I kept thinking about that horrible

Thirty Seconds to Mars video were the band members

act like they are invading the Forbidden City.

I hope that no one has to go through what I went through.

It was ridiculous and kind of ruined the moment for me.

Anyway……Ha ha ha!

After that Leto attack I was off to see one of the 7 wonders of the

Earth and nothing was gonna ruin that!

It was time for my trek to The Great Wall!

And it was awesome!

Here are a couple of dopey panoramas I shot with my Taylor Swift

issued cam!

So being on the tight schedule I am on I had to head back to the hotel

to get some rest,because the next day was gonna be even more intense.

The day was to start with a a private rickshaw ride

through one of the historic areas

of Beijing.

About an hour into the ride I it had been arranged for me

to visit one of my fans houses in this incredible

area.  The person I was able to meet

was a not just a Cain fan, but also local painter.

(During the Olympics my boy Mikey Phelps and crew went

to this same house to learn how to paint like her, I’ll get back to that.)

The house that she lives in has been passed down through her family

for over 100 years.

In this area the whole neighborhood doesn’t have any running water

except for a public bathroom and shower area.

Incredible.  I don’t think I would survive, nor could I maintain my

infamous locks!

What this family is famous for is painting intricate traditional

scenes on the inside of tiny bottles.

It was really beautiful!

After copping a couple of bottles I hoped back in the rickshaw

and headed back to a set of real wheels.

I had a flight at 1pm to catch

to Xi’an.

I am gonna keep this part of the blizzy quick and short,

but I do want to show you guys a couple of photos from

this insane broadway like production that I saw

after landing in Xi’an!

The show was basically a dinner theatre show based on

traditional Chinese dance, music and yes

martial arts!

They had some bad ass moves too flips and all sorts of crazy acrobatics!

Oh yeah and really hot ladies!

So all in all Beijing and Xi’an were both two amazing cities!

So much to see I could barely fit it all in in 3 days!

But tomorrow is the place I have been dreaming

about the entire time I have been here in Asia!

TIBET!

So get ready for the next installment, because I am gonna be

really high when I write it!

about 12,000 feet to be exact from the city

of Lhasa “place of the gods”!

Better get the Oxygen tanks out!

Peace!

Cain!

I had pretty much done all the damage possible in

Kyoto that I could, and it was time for

my return to Tokyo.

Little did I know at the New Otani Hotel

they had a new super celeb

guest that was stealing quite a bit of my thunder.

He was there on business with a staff that was ready to take

anybody who stepped to him!  It was pretty intense!

But when I saw him  strolling the halls

he was wearing some

killer Wrangler Jeans and a hoodie!

After I saw him I went to my own room to crash out!

Gotta say I got an even better view this go around!

The next day I knew I was a man on a mission and had a big plan

that was to go to Akihabara aka Electric City!

I needed 2 things…

A.) to get some new headphones, because somehow I lost my bad ass ones!

and

B.) to see what all the fuss was about with this thing called a Maid Cafe.

No sooner than I had gotten off the subway I was

sought out by several of these insanely dressed

young… I stress young…

girl maids.

I choose to go to a place called Maid Dreamin’!

This is the picture of me and my favorite maid!

The place was pretty weird and quite frankly I was a

little scared to eat the food, so I just had a

green tea sundae shaped like a tortoise!

Yeah the whole experience cost about $50.00 American!

I think that next time I’ll stick to the strip club kids!

SO….

I did a little shopping at the biggest H&M I have ever seen

and then proceeded to buy some action pants at a

store in Shibuya called BEAVER!

I bought these pants specifically for the Tibetan

leg of the trip and with how hot it is outside here in Beijing where I am writing this

I probably really won’t break them out until then.

Let me just say that I finally found the perfect

set of trousers to wear with my Cobra Snake shirt!

Here I am at the BEAVER store with DAISUKE the coolest salesman in Shibuya! I can't wait to break these pants out for ya'll but sometimes a surprise is worth it! Click on this pick to go to the BEAVER site!

Anyway,  gotta bounce like I said I am not even in Tokyo anymore!

I am in Bang-Jing!  Looks like a dope city too,

but I’ll never know if I just sit around

typing to ya’ll all day!

SO STAY TUNED LOTS HAPPENING SOON!

GREAT WALL TOMORROW!

-Cain

Sayournara Japan! Big Kiss!

I ended up in the resort town of Hakone.

Where you can get your

naked on with a bunch of Japanese business

dudes in a hot spring, I said no thank you,

but I did take on the

awesome views from the resort

My view from the Hakone Hotel.

also, I was able to endulge in some acupuncture

and a massage.

The very next day I was up early to

catch a bullet train to Kyoto.

It travels about 160mph and got me to

Kyoto in about an hour.  I will be

taking another one of these bad boys back to Tokyo on Sunday!

Upon arrival to Kyoto I headed to an area

called Gion, where the Geishas can be seen.

Now I know it sounds a little lame,

but let me tell you it is worth it.

Anyway, I headed down there, caught a show,

and then grabbed some grub…

I was growing a bit tired of what I had been eating every F-ing meal:

You know I just needed something more. Something

beefier something heartier…

I found an interesting restaurant

serving Shabu Shabu.

a dish where the waitress brings out

thinly sliced pieces of Kobe beef raw on a plate.

The meal comes with a bowl of boiling soup that

is connected to gas under the table to keep the fire

going and the water boiling.

You then mix in all your

veggies and noodles

and then!

This was not a cheap meal by any means,

but it was really worth it!

Here is my other waitress who was so damn cute I had to give her

some props on here!

So after the meal and a shit ton of sake and Kirin I left.

The night was a little hazy, but I saw my

first Geisha in the wild!

I was like a sake drunk kid in a candy store when I saw her!

I couldn’t get my camera out in time so all  got was

this pic of her from behind!

And then BOOM!

I hit the pavement because in Gion Kyoto

they like to put boulders on the street corners

for drunk celebs to fall on!

After that embarrassment I decided it was time to head to the hotel for a night cap.

Yeah I know maybe a bad idea, but the hotel has a sick

little sake bar right in it!

The next morning I got up to go to Nara,

the home of the biggest bronze Budha in the world!

Nara was pretty cool and it was surrounded with

the messengers of the gods.

Deer!

oh and this weird little creature that

kinda reminds me of a friend of mine who will remain nameless!

Anyway, by now the paparazzi had finally caught up with me

after ditching them back in Tokyo a few days earlier.

Normally I am pretty okay with the paparazzi, but the Japanese

paparazzi is just ruthless and relentless sometimes.

This is supposed to be a vacay at this point,

but I couldn’t get away from these cats!

So I had to do something so American and touristy that

I am not proud of!

I had to slip into a Starbuck’s in another country to get away!

But at least I met some fans!  These old guys recognied me right away,

so we sipped the pain away with frapachinos!

Alright everybody big kiss from Japan!

Talk to you soon!

XOXO

Cain!

so I had my Tokyo native girl Ai take me to the other dope spot in

town Harajuku, which is dope as hell!

Also, it is known for its Harajuku Girls who have the craziest fashion

in the effing world so you better keep checking this because

when the rain goes away and I am back in Tokyo next week I am sure to

floss back down that way!

Anyway, so I went to another BAPES store…..

and Harajuku had the styles to fit my profile!

Finally, a store with that could handle my huge American size 9,5’s!!!!!

These are a few of the BAPE shit’s I copped that are my

favorites let me know what you think:

After seriously hitting the BAPES store my friend Ai and new compadre

Teppie and I took a stroll to BBC/ICECREAM in Harajuku.

The store was super duper sick, but I got hungry for a

snack so we left (I fully intend to go back this week)

and ran into this crazy little stand with

the cutest little red octopus’ on it!

I probably would have passed this up but my peeps

Teppie and Ai suggested we give it a try.

What it was were these fried crust around octopus,

I am not sure of the name of this, but is was

so damn dank!  It was covered with

Japanese mayo, but if you get these please use caution

they come out of the fryer so damn hot you are sure to burn your mouth!

I suggest pairing it with a nice large bottle of Sapporo!

So I deserted the idea of grabbin BBC/ICEREAMS for the night

and Teppie had a lead on something I had been looking for the

entire trip.

You may remember these guys’ ‘ish from Club Cain.

The sick ass shirt with the Japanese model on it?

Well, a short little ride back over to Shibuya and I was knee deep

in KIKS TYO! and I even got to meet some of the guys in

charge of the operations over there!

(Also, do check homeboy on the right’s Tokyo Blog by clicking this link.)

So probably my favorite T that I got at KIKS was this bad boy here:

Anyway, that was what happened on a rainy Sunday night in Tokyo for me.

Even though the rain made it look like it was already June here in

T-Town Tokyo it didn’t get me and my crew down!

Special thanks to Ai and Teppie for taggin’

along for the the shopstravaganza!

My closet is gonna look Harajuku-Fresh now!

I am gonna leave you guys with one more photo from Monday morning

when I woke up to head to Mt Fuji and battle the

Shinto Gods!

I am heading to Fuji then Hakone for the night today and then Tuesday

morning I hit up Kyoto to see what this Geisha stuff is all about!

I’ll be back in Tokyo this weekend to party so hit me up

I am DTFTU!  (Down To F Tokyo UP!)

Ciao!

I arrived on Thursday May 20th and found that I had arrangements to stay

at The New Otani Hotel in Tokyo where bands like Oasis

who apparently are still huge here in Japan love to

stay.  I have to say for a truly traditional

Japanese accommodation you should stay here and skip

the place I usually hit here aka the Park Hyatt where they filmed the flick

Lost in Translation.

Here is a sick view from my room I shot with my new Sony Cybershot that my girl T-Swift is promoting

back stateside quite heavily.

The first day was all recovery so I downed a bottle of cham, hit the shower, and the the hay.

The next day I had been arranged to spend some time meeting some of my fans in

Tokyo by my Japanese fan club president Ai! Here’s a photo of us in

Shibuya basically the Time’s Square of Tokyo!

I had heard from tons of people that the subway system was super crazy,

so I asked Ai to select

some lucky fans to show me around the subway so I could get a look around it with

some of my peeps who take it everyday!

And who better to do this than some Japanese school girls!

These girls were great and they really did give me a great tour of the city!

I think now I am a pro! (Okay so it was a little difficult, but so much

fun to get to meet some of my fans over here!  Also, they

love the “Cute” anime Cain stickers!

After the ride I was able to take in Shibuya with Ai and it was off and popin!

Immediately, I asked Ai to take me to the main Bapes Bathing Apes store so I could stock up!

This place did not effing disappoint!  It was super sick inside and the shoes were super

dope!  I am gonna scoop some more today and hit the BBC/ICECREAMS store too

today. Let me tell you some of the sickest shopping in the world here in Tokyo!

Still recovering from a cold and having a ceremony to attend for my arrival in Japan in the morning

I hit a little sake then got back on the tube to test my Sony cam’s pano

feature on some unknowing targets!

The next morning I was up very early around 5am to catch a ride from some new

friends from Pennsylvania who took me to the town of

Kiyosato in the Japanese Alps about 2hrs from Nagano.

In Kiyosato I was being awarded for my influence on and contribution to culture due to

the recent release of the U! Weekly Magazine Issue dedicated to me!

We had a press conference and an award ceremony where

I had to make a speech in front of a crowd of non-English speakers!

The crowd starting to build up prior to my award.

It was a lot of fun speaking and drinking from the open bar!

Here I am with Eikoh HOSOE a Japanese photographer who gave me the award!

During the ceremony I was able to meet the very important photographer Eikoh HOSOE

and I was given a key to the City of Kiyosato!  This was a great honor, which

called for lots of Sake!  Later that day I got to chill with Eikoh again

and I was really excited that a Japanese version of the

U! Weekly Magazine was discussed!

Talking shop with the honorable Eikoh HOSOE!

After a huge day in Kiyosato I headed back to Tokyo!

Let me say they treated me right there I really felt at home, and

I think that I’ll definitely take the people there up on their

offer and come back during ski season!

Today I am hitting up either a Sumo match or a Tokyo Giants game,

I haven’t decided, but tonight I am definately going to be going to

DJ magazine Top 10 list maker club

WOMB!

I’ll be heading to Mt Fuji tomorrow and be back at you ASAP!

As you all know by now U! Magazine threw one hell of  a magazine launch party

here in the LBK for my April 9th and together we turned an abandoned

building in the Depot District of LBK into CLUB CAIN!

Club Cain in effectstacy with tha Extacy!

So what was going down was some sick cake with a Magazine and Fitted Cap

drop!  Shit was contagious floated the 3rd keg by midnight!

Caps and Mags Teamed with Zephyr! and U! Mag!

We had hot sounds by DJ’s CNTRL + Z & DJ Diamond Dan Zale.

]

CNTRL+Z and DJ DIAMOND DAN ZALES!

Let’s just say the beats were so fucking sick that they had people slapping the

shit out of the floor!!!

The night was pretty damn sick and self explanatory so I’m gonna just let the pics do the talking!

The night before the madness ensued!

Double Fistin' Cus I'm a Double Fister!

So you can see lots of damage was done and the event was pure FIRE!

Bubble Gum Vodka all day everyday!

to be screaming about this party for quite a while!
