Sword of the Far East

DSC06530

In March we had the wonderful opportunity to see our favorite Okinawa Rock Violinist, Ayasa, perform at Mod’s Live House in American Village.  We were first introduced to Ayasa’s music at a free summer concert in American Village back in 2009, when she was working on her “Aria Asia” project. 

This year she has been working on her new project entitled, “Sword of the Far East.”  When we found out she was going to be in our area again, we jumped at the chance to see her perform.  We were shocked to see signs saying that the concert was sold out when we arrived an hour early.  We were so close!  I walked over to the gentleman attending the merchandise booth outside of the club and with a lot of smiling and halted Japanese, managed to ask if the concert really was sold out.  I think he took pity on me and my 6’6” hubby and he got us in.  Pretty cool!

We came across this gem of a vending machine on a walk around our neighborhood the other weekend.  My eye caught on the “Honey Lemon Soda” and I knew we just had to give it a try.
