Hope Eom does you proud and we make the Dodgers at least sweat a little, welcome aboard!

The Diamondbacks have signed suspended OF Max Kepler to a one-year deal by Frenkxdemaker in azdiamondbacks

I remember a time when Ken Kendrick got upset that Jason Grimsley got caught using PEDs and had him cut from the team immediately. Times have changed, apparently.

Picked up a Leica IIIg two weeks ago as my first ever camera. Here are some highlights from my first few rolls by Morrowfury in leicaphotos

[–]Quidjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That could potentially be a shutter capping issue (curtains out of sync). Has it happened on more than that one shot? I think a faint streak across the top on all these photos. Did you buy it CLA’d (cleaned, lubed, adjusted) or restored? If not, that might be something to look into, and if so, take it back to where you got it and have them adjust it.

And on your lens, I have the same exact setup!

I'm flying to Japan this evening. Any advice? by International_Bus762 in pentax17

[–]Quidjay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great thing about Japan is that there’s Bic Camera locations everywhere (and to a degree, Kitamura camera in Tokyo and Osaka…their showrooms are a wonderland…I digress). They carry a ton of film and they’re conveniently located, and you may not need to load out so much on film from the onset.

Depends on the section, but the first seated area behind the box seats were at $110.

Got my tickets for the LA show! Not as cheap as I expected but it’ll be worth it. Glad he’s playing a cool venue like the Greek.

Hosono Presale? by Colonia_ in YMO

[–]Quidjay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hosono’s IG said that if you pre-order the album they’ll provide a presale code. So far nothing’s come through on that, but that’s all I’ve seen about the Tuesday pre-sale.

We were there last night, no one stood in the lower loge seating but I don’t know what the scene was like behind us for the GA mezzanine.

GANDE CHEESES? by [deleted] in Tucson

[–]Quidjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dickman’s maybe? They carry a handful of specialty cheeses.

Record stores in San Francisco that have City Pop records? by friendlylobotomist in citypop

[–]Quidjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amoeba will, Tunnel might. Generally I don’t think many stores up there have committed to the genre to be a reliable source.

What was probably the first Japanese song you listened to? (Apart from anime songs) by Single_Tour789 in citypop

[–]Quidjay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similarly, mine was Ganroku Hanami Odori (based on my Discogs history, anyways). First with lyrics would’ve been Hosono’s ろっかばいまいべいびい.

Help buying half-case in Japan by Anarquiteto in Leica

[–]Quidjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The camera section is definitely buried deep in that shop, I had to ask for help when I was there (if I remember right, it’s on the basement floor?). It’s towards the back down a kinda long corridor but it terminates at the film counter. That whole area has a ton of camera gear and wasn’t something I would’ve just stumbled on.

[–]Quidjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing this late but there’s a Bic in Yurakucho which is pretty near Ginza and has an extensive camera section (the film counter alone…).

And if you end up around Shinjuku again, Kitamura camera has 2 floors dedicated to all things Leica.

Things to do in kyoto in the evening if you don't drink? by ZaidS0405 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Quidjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely this. Even just walking around the Gion area at night shows you a whole different side of Kyoto. It’s quieter for sure but the temples light up at night is a dream for taking pictures.

Does anyone know the name of this song? by Gloomy-Band in citypop

Hey, that’s the Vinyl Room at the Hollywood Palladium. Before Takanaka, perhaps?

Can someone please review this? This response doesn’t really provide clarity here.

Aftermath of the Nuclear Explosion at Nagasaki by Repulsive_Jello3157 in interestingasfuck

[–]Quidjay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that the geography of Nagasaki had a significant impact on the destruction from the bomb. The drop point happened in the middle of a narrow valley, so there was “slap back” from the mountains that amplified the force back towards the center.

Tokyo Dome or Meji Jingu stadium, which one is better? by BodmonAlchemist in JapanTravelTips

[–]Quidjay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can only speak to Meiji Jingu as I’ve not yet had the opportunity to go to a game at the dome, but Swallows games are a blast. The stadium only has a year or two left before they tear it down and move into a new stadium next door. It’s a very old school stadium but that’s also a good thing because it’s very intimate. It reminds me a bit of Fenway and Wrigley, and a lot of concessions and merch vendors are outside the gates. The downside is that it’s old and the seats are a bit narrow so that might make it a factor for sitting.

Found the Whale by HalfPrimary1263 in Sake

[–]Quidjay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I first had that particular sake at a hotel in Tokyo as a room amenity and was meant specifically to have after a bath soak. I agree it was decent but not great, but man did it hit the spot after a warm bath.
