Last week while doing some work in the Mighty Ape warehouse I was rifling through the new DVDs and I saw that the documentary Teenage Paparazzo had recently arrived. Teenage Paparazzo discusses the relationship between celebrities and the paparazzi and societies obsession with celebrities. The doco is directed by Adrian Grenier who is an actor and is probably most well known for his lead role as Vinny Chase in the television show Entourage. Entourage also happens to be one of my favourite television shows.
Now I see loads of exciting new products arrive each day but this one was particularly significant because, believe it or not, myself and two friends were filmed and interviewed to appear in this movie.
I was in New York City in October 2009 with my friends David and Jordan. We were there to perform at this music festival, CMJ Music Marathon. David is a rapper and we were there chasing the American dream.
We were walking back to our apartment at 4am after a night out and I saw a familiar person leaving a bar around the corner from our place. It was Adrian Grenier. I introduced myself and my friends and told him how we were big fans of Entourage. We ended up hanging out and having a chat with him and his two friends on the street for about 10 or 15 minutes.

Do you like mob flicks like The Godfather, Goodfellas, Scarface, and Casino? Did you watch The Sopranos? Have you ever had the urge to experience life in La Cosa Nostra without the risk of an “iron vacation” or the constant threats of violence? Well we're getting a brand new game that will be right up your alley, Mafia II.
Mafia II, like the name suggests is a Mafia-themed sandbox-style action game for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC that is beling released on August 26th. The game is set in Empire Bay, a fictional city based on San Francisco and New York, and follows the story of Vito the son of an Italian immigrant. In his pursuit of the American dream Vito is lured into life in the criminal underworld. Mafia II is expected to be an immersive gaming experience with a strong story and script, and licenced music that will tranport you back to the ‘40s and ’50s.

I had the good fortune of spending last week in the land of the rising sun, Japan. While my fellow monkeys were layering up and toiling away at Mighty Ape HQ's warehouse and office I was catching the warm rays of summer in Japan :P And warm it was, it averaged over 30 degrees during the day and in the late 20s at night, mmmm. (By the way, I'm Che, just in case you haven't figured that out already :P)
I've always had a fascination with Japan and Japanese culture since I was young. I distinctly remember a parent coming to class when I was five years old to talk about her recent visit to Japan. She taught us some origami and had photos of Mount Fuji, Sumo wrestlers, bullet trains, and Japanese style toilets; all really fascinating stuff to me as a child. I ended up studying Japanese at high school and managed to go on a class trip for to Japan when I was 15. It was my first big overseas trip, I hadn't seen much of the world at that stage, suffice to say it was mind-blowing. I've been itching to get back there for a few years and when some cheap flights came up recently I jumped at the chance.
