My co-host on today’s show is the Artistic Mr. Mertens. Craig and I talk about the Oscars, do a bit of a detour into the LGBT situation in Japan and in general, and most importantly pimp his current art exhibition Ladies First. If you’re in the Osaka area check out Ladies First at Cafe Absinthe: http://www.absinthe-jp.com/cafe-absinthe/news/578 And pick up Craig’s artistic wares at Society6: http://society6.com/CraigMertens/Ladies-First-Exhibition-Poster_Print#1=45 P.S. Sorry if my sound levels are a bit high and I hope I don’t blowout your eardrums with my obnoxious voice. I guess every episode is a learning experience f^_^;
