Field trip to the Honeyee.com office in Tokyo.

Warm welcome from Suzuki, the Chief editor.
I find it quite interesting going to offices that make different things - the other web-based office that I have spent time in is at Bullet in London, who created some of the Gimme 5 family of websites.
Like Bullet, Honeyee is compact, efficient and very resourceful which I suppose the nature of independents and web design.
Thanks for the tour, Suzuki!

I know a lot of people that are interested in collecting watches, to various extremes. It depends on what you are interested in, but unless you have a lot of money it is very hard to begin collecting Rolex. I think it is simply too late now - the market ran away.
I've seen pictures of HF's collection from time to time, and rare watches that he has been wearing, but it was a pleasure to go through the pieces in full. The collection is much more interesting than just having old models, specialising in Tiffany and Cartier retailed Rolex and Patek. The Rolex watches in these 2 boxes are mainly Cartier double-name Rolex. There are many more boxes.

My favourite basic All-Star is the Navy version.
Here are 2 variations - Patent version from ABC Mart, and no-stripe version from the 'Design your own' on the Converse website...

Berlin (Bertie Marshall) was one of the famous Bromley Contingent which helped create part of the punk scene in the UK, closely linked to Sex, Seditionaries and Sex Pistols.
This book is Berlin's memoirs of growing up in the suburbs, and his way out. The theme of alienation may resonate with many, even if many things that he got up to (rent-boy etc) do not...

I've been stuck in an elevator before but never trapped.
This video chronicles the 41 hours that Nicholas White was inside an elevator at the McGraw-Hill Building in Manhattan.

Marius popped by to drop off a copy of the new book he has been working on about the Eurostar. It features the people working on all aspects of the train, stations and offices on both sides of the Channel. Although it is quite corporate, the portraits of the staff are very funny.

At Baracuta's office, Kevin Stone introduced the latest collection.
Having made G9 styles for Stussy over the past couple of years it was interesting to see how Baracuta have grown the range from a couple of original jacket styles, and their take on the 'British' identity.

In Lyon, the front of the subway train has a full-length window...

... and when the train starts moving it feels like a theme park ride!

At Heathrow Terminal 5, there were none of the horrors that we have heard about over the past week. However, after the 20 or so years of planning, the terminal feels decidedly average and normal - with poor handling of queues.

And some strange new shops and restaurants.

My first time to Lyon, the weather is pleasant, and the city very pretty.

Playing were DIE HARD + THE SHITTY LIMITS + BASES LOADED...

The crowd started to get excited for The Shitty Limits.

Special thanks to Chris from Stussy London, Lee and Jeremy 'the beast'.

One of the most successful April Fools Day hoaxes was broadcast in 1957 by the BBC, featuring the Spaghetti Tree Harvest.

This year, I think it was Penguins.

*UPDATE* If you are outside of the UK, here it is...
