	4:08pm Mike Rogers: We have to be thankful for what we have and what we have been given!
	4:08pm fred: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:03 I knew it was coming, but still... I stopped getting Jandek records because there was no way he'd get past Sakamoto
	4:09pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:07 Wow! I have never seen them live!
	4:09pm Chris Ianuzzi: ohayo gozaimasu Mike San
	4:09pm mochy: マイクさんおはようございます
	4:09pm Catchy Claws: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:07 yeah, he brought a bunch of keyboards to the African savana, propped them up on a truck and play some sounds for some elephants,,they seem to like what he did
	4:09pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Shineman san! Maybe going to a lot of famous Beatles festivals!
	4:09pm Shineman: Sorry I have been absent as of late but we are having problems with a grand daughter
	4:10pm Mike Rogers: ↳ fred @4:08 Yeah. I guess not!
	4:10pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:09 Very good morning to you!
	4:11pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Catchy Claws @4:09 That sounds like a weird thing a musician would do.... How much were the tickets for the elephants?
	4:11pm Catchy Claws: luve this "come get it" track
	4:11pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @4:09 Hi Mochy san! Genki desu ka?
	4:11pm Shineman: Some really good music today!
	4:12pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Catchy Claws @4:11 Yeah, they are copying my current favorite "Japanese " guitar instrumental band!
	4:12pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Catchy Claws @4:11 This is way cool!
	4:13pm Mike Rogers: Maybe someday soon, I'll try to make a show with only instrumentals.... But that sounds like work!
	4:13pm Catchy Claws: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:11 the good old "zou " san were probably on acid so I guess free entriy
	4:14pm mochy: genkidesu!
	4:14pm Chris Ianuzzi: not so hard :)
	4:14pm Mike Rogers: I found this song yesterday by accident! I think this band only this one song!
	4:14pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Catchy Claws @4:13 Oh, imagine how cool that would be!
	4:15pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @4:14 きょうはしごとですか？
	4:17pm Mike Rogers: Hey Chris san! I saw the list of Selected Films for Japan Indies Awards last night! Congratulations!!!!!
	4:18pm Chris Ianuzzi: :) what happened?
	4:18pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:17 I haven’t seen all the films yet！But will soon!
	4:19pm Chris Ianuzzi: So cool! Selected
	4:20pm Mike Rogers: We get lots of films. Last year we had 300, so just being Selected is good.
	4:21pm Chris Ianuzzi: It's great!
	4:21pm Mike Rogers: I think last year we only screened 20 or 25 videos.
	4:22pm Mike Rogers: It's only the second year, so we get bigger and bigger every year!
	4:25pm Mike Rogers: This year is our second year (Actually should be 4th but Covid) But we finally got some support from the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce!!! They are paying for our posters, and the TV broadcast and that kind of stuff! So at least we won't lose so much money.... But this is a long term plan. 3~ 5 years for break even. So anything helps!
	4:26pm Mike Rogers: But it's for the indies artists anyway.... The future of music is Indies artists. The Major label are going the way of the dinosaur!
	4:27pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:21 Anyway, Congratulations!!!!!
	4:27pm Catchy Claws: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:26 my sentiments exactly !!!
	4:28pm Mike Rogers: Even the major labels are trying to hide their new artist and don't put their logos on their records! Yes, it's true! They can tell the way the wind blows!
	4:28pm Chris Ianuzzi: Thank you Mike san! wish to be there and perform for festival
	4:30pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:28 I heard from a friend it is still a big hassle to get into Japan. He was stuck at the airport in a huge line of people who were being checked! I hope that doesn't happen when I go to UK in October! I hate airports!!!! Even going to the airport is almost worst than going to the dentist!
	4:33pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:28 Why don't we pencil it in in 2024? Maybe you can tour Japan too?
	4:33pm Chris Ianuzzi: Narita is a long ride. How is it to get to How is Haneda?
	4:34pm Mike Rogers: I'm going to interview a guy tomorrow who organizes all his tours by himself (and he speaks no Japanese!) Just finished a ten show tour of Japan. AND at all famous places! I was amazed!
	4:35pm Chris Ianuzzi: My experience at Narita was always good. shipping equipment can be a nightmare though
	4:35pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @4:11 Thanks Shineman san! You babysitting again today?
	4:35pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @4:11 Did I say, "Goooooood morning to you?" No? Well, Goooooood morning!
	4:35pm Chris Ianuzzi: Im supposed to talk to him soon about making that happen
	4:36pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:35 Really!? Way cool! He is a smart guy!
	4:38pm Chris Ianuzzi: yes.. just have to have a talk more than we've had. he was very busy in Japan
	4:38pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:35 Narita is so far away!
	4:39pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:35 You had problems with shipping equipment? Sounds bad. What happened?
	4:39pm Chris Ianuzzi: Haneda is closer?
	4:40pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:39 Yeah, but I think flying into Haneda is much more expensive (but check, don't believe me)... Haneda is about 30 minutes from my house.... Narita is like a bit over 3 hours!
	4:41pm Chris Ianuzzi: Melodic took the option to not respond to me about shipping equipment. it dragged on and on. so, the band was leaving and I just sent it
	4:41pm Chris Ianuzzi: sorry Melodac
	4:41pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:41 Is Melodic a shipping company?
	4:42pm Chris Ianuzzi: Melodac the record co at that point
	4:43pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:42 I think I've heard of them...
	4:43pm Shineman: Sorry had to step away a min. I'm babysitting as usual but so far a good day
	4:43pm Chris Ianuzzi: so, for me to get it for tour and recording, they had to from many thousands of $ to be put on hold there was proof that it was all leaving
	4:44pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @4:43 No Children fo the Revolution today?
	4:44pm Chris Ianuzzi: The year before that, I took all on the plane and there was no prob
	4:45pm Shineman: No just on her tablet
	4:45pm Mike Rogers: of the Revolution
	4:46pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:43 Oh my gosh. Nightmare!!!!
	4:46pm Chris Ianuzzi: Its so much easier with technology now. Computers
	4:46pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @4:45 Being a good little girl!
	4:47pm Shineman: Yes hey this is nice
	4:47pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:46 Yeah, just record everything on your laptop and act like you are playing! ;)
	4:47pm Chris Ianuzzi: :) Ha... that would take the fun out of it :)
	4:48pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @4:47 I'm wondering if recently I am getting away from what I wanted this show to be.... Is this what I want it to be? I don't even know!
	4:48pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:47 Call yourself "Milli Ianuzzi!"
	4:49pm Chris Ianuzzi: Gross
	4:50pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:49 Ha! Ha! Ha!
	4:50pm Mike Rogers: I didn't even realize it when I made the playlist... I was in a somber mood.... There hasn't been a song with vocals yet!
	4:51pm Shineman: Not sure what your vision thing is Good Music works for me
	4:52pm Chris Ianuzzi: when I went to Germany nt so long ago, I had all the appropriate paperwork done and ready... nobody check anything going or coming back. you just never know Crossing the border into Italy, it is requested that autographing CDs for the guards kid works everything out
	4:52pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @4:51 That's OK. I'm not sure either. I want it to be like NPR used to be when I was a kid, excepting as if they (or me) were on acid.
	4:53pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:52 No kidding???? When Paul McCartney got arrested in Japan, I heard that all the police were asking him for his autograph. No kidding!
	4:53pm Shineman: For me over thinking is bad gets me off track so I stop questioning things and just let it happen
	4:54pm Chris Ianuzzi: Thats funny :)
	4:55pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @4:53 I try to do that, but I am anal retentive and keep filling with things and then mess them up until I get frustrated and just decide to drop it.
	4:56pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:54 No. Seriously. There were news reports that very high ranking police were calling the detention center and the boss asking for McCartney's autograph (for their kids ofr something) Really, like Chief f police types, etc.... You know pulling favors from "friends." It was a sort of scandal in Japan. I just saw that on the news and laughed.
	4:57pm Shineman: Same here it can be better then lose sight of what I liked in the 1st place
	4:57pm Chris Ianuzzi: Does Meldac stil exist doing music?
	4:58pm Chris Ianuzzi: I heard that they started making games
	4:59pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @4:57 I'm really bad when I oil paint. My teacher told me, "You have to know when to quit."
	4:59pm Chris Ianuzzi: Great Music today by the way
	5:00pm Shineman: Yeah I know that feeling
	5:00pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:58 Let me check when the show is over.
	5:01pm Mike Rogers: I just posted the first oil painting I ever made. I made 10 in that series. Roses from fresh to dead... To the left.
	5:02pm Chris Ianuzzi: Where is it?
	5:02pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:57 But I think companies like Meldac & I forget, started off making poker cards and stuff like that.
	5:03pm Chris Ianuzzi: thats something that I hope they were better at
	5:03pm Shineman: Yes.show has a peaceful vibe that let's you free up de head
	5:03pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @5:02 It's in the playlist to the left. I signed all my works, "Sregor"
	5:04pm Mike Rogers: Sregor was a Bulgarian painter in my former life that escaped the Nazis, came to America, and then became homeless and died penniless in Brookyn.
	5:05pm Mike Rogers: Do you guys know this song? I had never even heard of it until yesterday!
	5:06pm Chris Ianuzzi: I know the song in its original form
	5:06pm Shineman: Like that name word play is cool
	5:06pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @5:03 Old old companies like 100 years old.... I'm forgetting the name of the huge company that started off playing Hanafuda cards.
	5:09pm Chris Ianuzzi: Seriously, I am trying to find your painting Mike san. I don't see it on the left
	5:11pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @5:09 Right above Simonne Draper
	5:12pm Mike Rogers: Photo of Hanadfuda cards to the left. Did you guys know that the British government used to only license some companies to be able to make poker cards and dice? Yes. It's true. Illegal forgeries were everywhere. The government actually controlled card & dice makers!!!
	5:12pm Shineman: On song page
	5:12pm Mike Rogers: If you can't see it, refresh your browser.
	5:13pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @5:12 Oh is the song page and this chat page different???? Wow! Learn something new everyday! I didn't know that!
	5:15pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:13 Thanks Shineman san! I didn't even know that!
	5:16pm Chris Ianuzzi: Ahhh.. I see it now /You are a wonderful romantic :)
	5:16pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @5:09 Did you find it, Chris san?
	5:17pm Mike Rogers: I will post a later version of the same flowers....
	5:17pm Chris Ianuzzi: I did!! I want to see more
	5:18pm Shineman: Only on phone I think
	5:20pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @5:17 I painted those roses everyday for a year or so.... Maybe it was 2004 or 2005. You'll be proud of me, There were 10 paintings in the set. I sold them all! I don't even know where 9 of them are now.
	5:20pm Mike Rogers: And they were too cheap, but not too expensive. $500 each.
	5:21pm Mike Rogers: Oil painting is an expensive hobby! (And can be grueling!)
	5:22pm Mike Rogers: Kind of like golfing or bowling! ;)
	5:23pm Shineman: Wow I have a house full paintings give me a new perspective
	5:23pm Mike Rogers: Oh, in Japan, $500 is not a lot of money!
	5:23pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @5:23 You mean paintings you made?
	5:24pm Shineman: No I just knew a lot of artists
	5:27pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @5:24 I had a kind f four teacher (i men in Japan he was kind of famous) I went to his house and it was full of stuff he painted. I thought, "What a waste! What good is art if no one sees it?" So I decided I'd sell everything... I haven't painted since then. Maybe I will someday. I'm thinking about it, but have been thing about it for 15 years or so!
	5:28pm Chris Ianuzzi: Ohhh..Ive got to go. talk to you soon Mike san. Everybody have a wonderful week
	5:28pm Mike Rogers: Tell all artists that you own a gallery! (make your house a "gallery") then many of them will give your their paintings. Ha! Ha! Ha!
	5:28pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @5:28 Hey thanks for coming by Chris! You are up soon!!!!
	5:28pm Shineman: When it's time the brush will find your hand
	5:29pm Shineman: You too Chris
	5:29pm Mike Rogers: Shssshhhh! My wife will make me wash the dishes!!!!
	5:30pm Mike Rogers: Or she might even make me wash my hair!!!!
	5:30pm Shineman: I ment the paint brush
	5:34pm Mike Rogers: Yeah. Painting is so fun in one way: You can dive deep into your mind and go deeper and deeper and no one will tell you "Stop!" It is very relaxing is you get into the groove... And no one needs to be a "Good at art guy" Just have an image and if you can put that image on canvas, you are a master!
	5:35pm Mike Rogers: Hey! Where is Mister Fabulous?
	5:36pm Mike Rogers: I was hoping he'd be here because I was hoping he'd hear lots of songs he has never heard before!
	5:36pm Shineman: Well put I always look deep into a picture and see images that aren't seen by the artist themselves
	5:38pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @5:36 That is actually a talent Shineman san! I bet you can do this too: Look at a broken down piece of furniture and see what it can be if restored to its former glory!
	5:39pm Mike Rogers: When I lived in the states, I would go to Garage sales and buy busted up old radios and repair them and then sell them at the Swap Meet!
	5:39pm Shineman: Yes or moment in time
	5:40pm Mike Rogers: Well, old radios, old furniture. In Japan old furniture is really old or it doesn't exist because of the war or just cheap materials.
	5:41pm Mike Rogers: I LOVE this song!!!!!
	5:41pm Shineman: I would point out things that the artist really didn't think I could see
	5:42pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @5:41 Maybe you should be a curator... Can do that part time! And, can do it well past 70 or 80!
	5:42pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @5:41 In fact, as you get older, you get better and better! One of the few jobs that you never have to retire from.
	5:42pm Shineman: Move an Mountain
	5:43pm Shineman: I wish
	5:43pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @5:42 I met the Shamen in 1991... Interviewed them. Then time for photos and realized no film in the camera! ARRRRGGGGHHH!
	5:44pm Shineman: Love this tune too
	5:45pm Mike Rogers: People think this is a Star Wars quote by Yoda, "There is no try, there is only do or do not!" That saying is actually form the Japanese General who defeated the Russian army on 1905!
	5:46pm Shineman: That's cool I didn't know that
	5:49pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @5:46 His name was either Yamashita or Yamamoto. I can check later. As you can imagine from history, Japanese generals did not F*ck around.
	5:52pm Mike Rogers: I think the exact translation was "You will not try. Yes! Or No!"?
	5:52pm Shineman: Japan ran China back in the day
	5:55pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:49 They were talking about some big hill that the Russians held and the general was ordering his guy to go take that hill. It was a terribly bloody battle. Do you know about Japan - Russian War of 1904 - to 1905? That is a wild story!
	5:55pm Mike Rogers: Battle of Tsushima Strait. Biggest naval victory in history!
	5:56pm Mike Rogers: 4 Japanese battleships a few destroyers wiped out like 20 or 30 Russian Batlleships.
	5:57pm Shineman: Some but notuch
	5:57pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:56 So, I think that lead many Japanese people at that time to think the Japanese navy was invincible (poor confused sods!)
	5:59pm Shineman: Great show sorry if I talked too much
	6:01pm Shineman: Really outstanding show as a matter of fact
	6:01pm Mike Rogers: No problem! Thanks for coming! Shineman san! Want to have your mind blown?
	6:01pm Shineman: Sure
	6:02pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @6:01 Just a digest. But the deeper story in just mind blowing: www.youtube.com...
	6:03pm Shineman: Thanks will check it out
	6:03pm Mike Rogers: Chris san! Thanks for coming!
	6:04pm Mike Rogers: Mochy san! Thanks for coming!
	6:04pm Mike Rogers: Catchy claws! Thanks for coming!
	6:04pm Mike Rogers: Fred san! Thanks for coming!
	6:05pm Mike Rogers: Thanks for coming to everyone!

	4:08pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @4:06 Hi Shineman san! Thanks for coming by. Good Morning!
	4:08pm Shineman: Grapefruit
	4:08pm Mike Rogers: We have to be thankful for what we have and what we have been given!
	4:08pm fred: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:03 I knew it was coming, but still... I stopped getting Jandek records because there was no way he'd get past Sakamoto
	4:09pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:07 Wow! I have never seen them live!
	4:09pm Chris Ianuzzi: ohayo gozaimasu Mike San
	4:09pm mochy: マイクさんおはようございます
	4:09pm Catchy Claws: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:07 yeah, he brought a bunch of keyboards to the African savana, propped them up on a truck and play some sounds for some elephants,,they seem to like what he did
	4:09pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Shineman san! Maybe going to a lot of famous Beatles festivals!
	4:09pm Shineman: Sorry I have been absent as of late but we are having problems with a grand daughter
	4:10pm Mike Rogers: ↳ fred @4:08 Yeah. I guess not!
	4:10pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:09 Very good morning to you!
	4:11pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Catchy Claws @4:09 That sounds like a weird thing a musician would do.... How much were the tickets for the elephants?
	4:11pm Catchy Claws: luve this "come get it" track
	4:11pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @4:09 Hi Mochy san! Genki desu ka?
	4:11pm Shineman: Some really good music today!
	4:12pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Catchy Claws @4:11 Yeah, they are copying my current favorite "Japanese " guitar instrumental band!
	4:12pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Catchy Claws @4:11 This is way cool!
	4:13pm Mike Rogers: Maybe someday soon, I'll try to make a show with only instrumentals.... But that sounds like work!
	4:13pm Catchy Claws: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:11 the good old "zou " san were probably on acid so I guess free entriy
	4:14pm mochy: genkidesu!
	4:14pm Chris Ianuzzi: not so hard :)
	4:14pm Mike Rogers: I found this song yesterday by accident! I think this band only this one song!
	4:14pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Catchy Claws @4:13 Oh, imagine how cool that would be!
	4:15pm Mike Rogers: ↳ mochy @4:14 きょうはしごとですか？
	4:17pm Mike Rogers: Hey Chris san! I saw the list of Selected Films for Japan Indies Awards last night! Congratulations!!!!!
	4:18pm Chris Ianuzzi: :) what happened?
	4:18pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:17 I haven’t seen all the films yet！But will soon!
	4:19pm Chris Ianuzzi: So cool! Selected
	4:20pm Mike Rogers: We get lots of films. Last year we had 300, so just being Selected is good.
	4:21pm Chris Ianuzzi: It's great!
	4:21pm Mike Rogers: I think last year we only screened 20 or 25 videos.
	4:22pm Mike Rogers: It's only the second year, so we get bigger and bigger every year!
	4:25pm Mike Rogers: This year is our second year (Actually should be 4th but Covid) But we finally got some support from the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce!!! They are paying for our posters, and the TV broadcast and that kind of stuff! So at least we won't lose so much money.... But this is a long term plan. 3~ 5 years for break even. So anything helps!
	4:26pm Mike Rogers: But it's for the indies artists anyway.... The future of music is Indies artists. The Major label are going the way of the dinosaur!
	4:27pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:21 Anyway, Congratulations!!!!!
	4:27pm Catchy Claws: ↳ Mike Rogers @4:26 my sentiments exactly !!!
	4:28pm Mike Rogers: Even the major labels are trying to hide their new artist and don't put their logos on their records! Yes, it's true! They can tell the way the wind blows!
	4:28pm Chris Ianuzzi: Thank you Mike san! wish to be there and perform for festival
	4:30pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:28 I heard from a friend it is still a big hassle to get into Japan. He was stuck at the airport in a huge line of people who were being checked! I hope that doesn't happen when I go to UK in October! I hate airports!!!! Even going to the airport is almost worst than going to the dentist!
	4:33pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:28 Why don't we pencil it in in 2024? Maybe you can tour Japan too?
	4:33pm Chris Ianuzzi: Narita is a long ride. How is it to get to How is Haneda?
	4:34pm Mike Rogers: I'm going to interview a guy tomorrow who organizes all his tours by himself (and he speaks no Japanese!) Just finished a ten show tour of Japan. AND at all famous places! I was amazed!
	4:35pm Chris Ianuzzi: My experience at Narita was always good. shipping equipment can be a nightmare though
	4:35pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @4:11 Thanks Shineman san! You babysitting again today?
	4:35pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @4:11 Did I say, "Goooooood morning to you?" No? Well, Goooooood morning!
	4:35pm Chris Ianuzzi: Im supposed to talk to him soon about making that happen
	4:36pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:35 Really!? Way cool! He is a smart guy!
	4:38pm Chris Ianuzzi: yes.. just have to have a talk more than we've had. he was very busy in Japan
	4:38pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:35 Narita is so far away!
	4:39pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:35 You had problems with shipping equipment? Sounds bad. What happened?
	4:39pm Chris Ianuzzi: Haneda is closer?
	4:40pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:39 Yeah, but I think flying into Haneda is much more expensive (but check, don't believe me)... Haneda is about 30 minutes from my house.... Narita is like a bit over 3 hours!
	4:41pm Chris Ianuzzi: Melodic took the option to not respond to me about shipping equipment. it dragged on and on. so, the band was leaving and I just sent it
	4:41pm Chris Ianuzzi: sorry Melodac
	4:41pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:41 Is Melodic a shipping company?
	4:42pm Chris Ianuzzi: Melodac the record co at that point
	4:43pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:42 I think I've heard of them...
	4:43pm Shineman: Sorry had to step away a min. I'm babysitting as usual but so far a good day
	4:43pm Chris Ianuzzi: so, for me to get it for tour and recording, they had to from many thousands of $ to be put on hold there was proof that it was all leaving
	4:44pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @4:43 No Children fo the Revolution today?
	4:44pm Chris Ianuzzi: The year before that, I took all on the plane and there was no prob
	4:45pm Shineman: No just on her tablet
	4:45pm Mike Rogers: of the Revolution
	4:46pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:43 Oh my gosh. Nightmare!!!!
	4:46pm Chris Ianuzzi: Its so much easier with technology now. Computers
	4:46pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @4:45 Being a good little girl!
	4:47pm Shineman: Yes hey this is nice
	4:47pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:46 Yeah, just record everything on your laptop and act like you are playing! ;)
	4:47pm Chris Ianuzzi: :) Ha... that would take the fun out of it :)
	4:48pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @4:47 I'm wondering if recently I am getting away from what I wanted this show to be.... Is this what I want it to be? I don't even know!
	4:48pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:47 Call yourself "Milli Ianuzzi!"
	4:49pm Chris Ianuzzi: Gross
	4:50pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:49 Ha! Ha! Ha!
	4:50pm Mike Rogers: I didn't even realize it when I made the playlist... I was in a somber mood.... There hasn't been a song with vocals yet!
	4:51pm Shineman: Not sure what your vision thing is Good Music works for me
	4:52pm Chris Ianuzzi: when I went to Germany nt so long ago, I had all the appropriate paperwork done and ready... nobody check anything going or coming back. you just never know Crossing the border into Italy, it is requested that autographing CDs for the guards kid works everything out
	4:52pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @4:51 That's OK. I'm not sure either. I want it to be like NPR used to be when I was a kid, excepting as if they (or me) were on acid.
	4:53pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:52 No kidding???? When Paul McCartney got arrested in Japan, I heard that all the police were asking him for his autograph. No kidding!
	4:53pm Shineman: For me over thinking is bad gets me off track so I stop questioning things and just let it happen
	4:54pm Chris Ianuzzi: Thats funny :)
	4:55pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @4:53 I try to do that, but I am anal retentive and keep filling with things and then mess them up until I get frustrated and just decide to drop it.
	4:56pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:54 No. Seriously. There were news reports that very high ranking police were calling the detention center and the boss asking for McCartney's autograph (for their kids ofr something) Really, like Chief f police types, etc.... You know pulling favors from "friends." It was a sort of scandal in Japan. I just saw that on the news and laughed.
	4:57pm Shineman: Same here it can be better then lose sight of what I liked in the 1st place
	4:57pm Chris Ianuzzi: Does Meldac stil exist doing music?
	4:58pm Chris Ianuzzi: I heard that they started making games
	4:59pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @4:57 I'm really bad when I oil paint. My teacher told me, "You have to know when to quit."
	4:59pm Chris Ianuzzi: Great Music today by the way
	5:00pm Shineman: Yeah I know that feeling
	5:00pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:58 Let me check when the show is over.
	5:01pm Mike Rogers: I just posted the first oil painting I ever made. I made 10 in that series. Roses from fresh to dead... To the left.
	5:02pm Chris Ianuzzi: Where is it?
	5:02pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @4:57 But I think companies like Meldac & I forget, started off making poker cards and stuff like that.
	5:03pm Chris Ianuzzi: thats something that I hope they were better at
	5:03pm Shineman: Yes.show has a peaceful vibe that let's you free up de head
	5:03pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @5:02 It's in the playlist to the left. I signed all my works, "Sregor"
	5:04pm Mike Rogers: Sregor was a Bulgarian painter in my former life that escaped the Nazis, came to America, and then became homeless and died penniless in Brookyn.
	5:05pm Mike Rogers: Do you guys know this song? I had never even heard of it until yesterday!
	5:06pm Chris Ianuzzi: I know the song in its original form
	5:06pm Shineman: Like that name word play is cool
	5:06pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @5:03 Old old companies like 100 years old.... I'm forgetting the name of the huge company that started off playing Hanafuda cards.
	5:09pm Chris Ianuzzi: Seriously, I am trying to find your painting Mike san. I don't see it on the left
	5:11pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @5:09 Right above Simonne Draper
	5:12pm Mike Rogers: Photo of Hanadfuda cards to the left. Did you guys know that the British government used to only license some companies to be able to make poker cards and dice? Yes. It's true. Illegal forgeries were everywhere. The government actually controlled card & dice makers!!!
	5:12pm Shineman: On song page
	5:12pm Mike Rogers: If you can't see it, refresh your browser.
	5:13pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @5:12 Oh is the song page and this chat page different???? Wow! Learn something new everyday! I didn't know that!
	5:15pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:13 Thanks Shineman san! I didn't even know that!
	5:16pm Chris Ianuzzi: Ahhh.. I see it now /You are a wonderful romantic :)
	5:16pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @5:09 Did you find it, Chris san?
	5:17pm Mike Rogers: I will post a later version of the same flowers....
	5:17pm Chris Ianuzzi: I did!! I want to see more
	5:18pm Shineman: Only on phone I think
	5:20pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @5:17 I painted those roses everyday for a year or so.... Maybe it was 2004 or 2005. You'll be proud of me, There were 10 paintings in the set. I sold them all! I don't even know where 9 of them are now.
	5:20pm Mike Rogers: And they were too cheap, but not too expensive. $500 each.
	5:21pm Mike Rogers: Oil painting is an expensive hobby! (And can be grueling!)
	5:22pm Mike Rogers: Kind of like golfing or bowling! ;)
	5:23pm Shineman: Wow I have a house full paintings give me a new perspective
	5:23pm Mike Rogers: Oh, in Japan, $500 is not a lot of money!
	5:23pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @5:23 You mean paintings you made?
	5:24pm Shineman: No I just knew a lot of artists
	5:27pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @5:24 I had a kind f four teacher (i men in Japan he was kind of famous) I went to his house and it was full of stuff he painted. I thought, "What a waste! What good is art if no one sees it?" So I decided I'd sell everything... I haven't painted since then. Maybe I will someday. I'm thinking about it, but have been thing about it for 15 years or so!
	5:28pm Chris Ianuzzi: Ohhh..Ive got to go. talk to you soon Mike san. Everybody have a wonderful week
	5:28pm Mike Rogers: Tell all artists that you own a gallery! (make your house a "gallery") then many of them will give your their paintings. Ha! Ha! Ha!
	5:28pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @5:28 Hey thanks for coming by Chris! You are up soon!!!!
	5:28pm Shineman: When it's time the brush will find your hand
	5:29pm Shineman: You too Chris
	5:29pm Mike Rogers: Shssshhhh! My wife will make me wash the dishes!!!!
	5:30pm Mike Rogers: Or she might even make me wash my hair!!!!
	5:30pm Shineman: I ment the paint brush
	5:34pm Mike Rogers: Yeah. Painting is so fun in one way: You can dive deep into your mind and go deeper and deeper and no one will tell you "Stop!" It is very relaxing is you get into the groove... And no one needs to be a "Good at art guy" Just have an image and if you can put that image on canvas, you are a master!
	5:35pm Mike Rogers: Hey! Where is Mister Fabulous?
	5:36pm Mike Rogers: I was hoping he'd be here because I was hoping he'd hear lots of songs he has never heard before!
	5:36pm Shineman: Well put I always look deep into a picture and see images that aren't seen by the artist themselves
	5:38pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @5:36 That is actually a talent Shineman san! I bet you can do this too: Look at a broken down piece of furniture and see what it can be if restored to its former glory!
	5:39pm Mike Rogers: When I lived in the states, I would go to Garage sales and buy busted up old radios and repair them and then sell them at the Swap Meet!
	5:39pm Shineman: Yes or moment in time
	5:40pm Mike Rogers: Well, old radios, old furniture. In Japan old furniture is really old or it doesn't exist because of the war or just cheap materials.
	5:41pm Mike Rogers: I LOVE this song!!!!!
	5:41pm Shineman: I would point out things that the artist really didn't think I could see
	5:42pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @5:41 Maybe you should be a curator... Can do that part time! And, can do it well past 70 or 80!
	5:42pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @5:41 In fact, as you get older, you get better and better! One of the few jobs that you never have to retire from.
	5:42pm Shineman: Move an Mountain
	5:43pm Shineman: I wish
	5:43pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @5:42 I met the Shamen in 1991... Interviewed them. Then time for photos and realized no film in the camera! ARRRRGGGGHHH!
	5:44pm Shineman: Love this tune too
	5:45pm Mike Rogers: People think this is a Star Wars quote by Yoda, "There is no try, there is only do or do not!" That saying is actually form the Japanese General who defeated the Russian army on 1905!
	5:46pm Shineman: That's cool I didn't know that
	5:49pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @5:46 His name was either Yamashita or Yamamoto. I can check later. As you can imagine from history, Japanese generals did not F*ck around.
	5:52pm Mike Rogers: I think the exact translation was "You will not try. Yes! Or No!"?
	5:52pm Shineman: Japan ran China back in the day
	5:55pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:49 They were talking about some big hill that the Russians held and the general was ordering his guy to go take that hill. It was a terribly bloody battle. Do you know about Japan - Russian War of 1904 - to 1905? That is a wild story!
	5:55pm Mike Rogers: Battle of Tsushima Strait. Biggest naval victory in history!
	5:56pm Mike Rogers: 4 Japanese battleships a few destroyers wiped out like 20 or 30 Russian Batlleships.
	5:57pm Shineman: Some but notuch
	5:57pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @5:56 So, I think that lead many Japanese people at that time to think the Japanese navy was invincible (poor confused sods!)
	5:59pm Shineman: Great show sorry if I talked too much
	6:01pm Shineman: Really outstanding show as a matter of fact
	6:01pm Mike Rogers: No problem! Thanks for coming! Shineman san! Want to have your mind blown?
	6:01pm Shineman: Sure
	6:02pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Shineman @6:01 Just a digest. But the deeper story in just mind blowing: www.youtube.com...
	6:03pm Shineman: Thanks will check it out
	6:03pm Mike Rogers: Chris san! Thanks for coming!
	6:04pm Mike Rogers: Mochy san! Thanks for coming!
	6:04pm Mike Rogers: Catchy claws! Thanks for coming!
	6:04pm Mike Rogers: Fred san! Thanks for coming!
	6:05pm Mike Rogers: Thanks for coming to everyone!
