Remain In Balance @ Beams T

Monday night 16th of May, TCSS crew hung Steven Harrington's show and TCSS wall at Beams T, Harajuku, JP!!!!

We plugged away at it until the early hours of the morning, as everything takes that little bit extra time in Japan (translation n' what not) but sooooo well worth it! Big thanks to Beams T staff, Masahiro, Tamio and not to forget Steven Harrington. Proceeds from the show will be donated to Tsunami victims, via the Red Cross. The show is up until 6 June.

Spicoli and Bodhi rock'n Harajuku.

And now onto Greenroom....

Jam and T-shirts packed for Japan

Not far away till we board the big iron seagull and make our way over to Japan. TCSS has plenty going on over there in the coming weeks.

First up is Steven Harrington's show at Beams T from 17 May, Jim's been in Bali working on some exclusive TCSS T-Shirts for the show. All proceeds will go to the Japanese Red Cross.

TCSS & Far East

I'm hanging in Japan with our Distributor this week and talks are just starting around our involvement in The Greenroom Festival (21-22 May). It pulls a crowd of around 10,000 surf, music and art passionate people and we're planning on being there. Always a good time with a great collection of talent from around the globe. Generally Elle shoots Japan for us... sorry for rockin' on ya dime, here's a couple of snaps from my last couple of days. Not really surf related, more pop-cultural. Surf does have a noticeable influence here on fashion, art and graphics.

Still great to see the Harajuku girls.

Skyping Jim and Suzie just isn't the same without a cutesy latte..

Our main man, Masa with Ebisu's Iron Chef. It really is amazing food.

Beams Tokyo Cultuart - curated, put together by General Manager and hell of a good guy, Shuji Nagai (as seen below manning The Mattress Book Kiosk).

Gaga for Supreme - before and up-the-road-after (I suspect she swiped em)

Here for another couple of days, and there will be surf related posts from Japan in the near future.
