	8:28pm e show I: My first time listening to this show. I 'favorited' 'the Mike Rogers show' when pledging thinking it was the Sunday afternoon (EDT) show I've been listening to.

	8:35pm Tom P: ↳ Candy-O'67 @8:29 Hi Candy!
	8:38pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @8:28 Ah? Adult humor. I only like humor for like, 12 year olds!
	8:39pm Mike Rogers: ↳ e show I @8:28 Dear E Show I san! Thank you so very much!!!!!!
	8:39pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Candy-O'67 @8:29 You want to go?

	8:40pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @8:31 Thanks Aitch san!!!!! Much appreciation. Mr. Fab wanted me to do a new show, but I only want to do cowbells & polka!
	8:42pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Candy-O'67 @8:40 Look up @Tsushimamire on FB
	8:42pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Candy-O'67 @8:40 This band has quite an unusual sound.
	8:43pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:42 I'll do that in a few!
	8:46pm Tom P: ↳ Song: "Let's a Go Go" by "Let's Go's" Fun song. Fun show, Mike!
	8:46pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Candy-O'67 @8:43 You mean a few minutes or after a few drinks? ;)
	8:46pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Tom P @8:46 I LOVE THIS BAND!!!!!
	8:47pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:46 Hahaha! I'm about to look 'em up!
	8:49pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Candy-O'67 @8:47 As your lawyer, I'd advise you to do the latter if I were you
	8:49pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:49 😅
	8:50pm Mike Rogers: This band, Letniy, is quite unusual. They don't tell anyone they are in a band. It's a secret they keep from their workplace. No kidding.
	8:51pm Mike Rogers: I figure they must get paid a ton of money and are lawyers ro something....
	8:53pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:51 You can find nothing about a band named "Letniy" and never find any photos or anything... But they are now getting popular.
	8:56pm Tom P: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:53 Just tried that. Yes, no details at all!
	8:57pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Tom P @8:56 I do know the lease singer and song write is named Suzuko. But after that, I know nothing!
	8:59pm Candy-O'67: They're playing Austin the day after Thanksgiving! I won't be in town! Darn! They are playing Hotel Vegas, small venue. Should be a good show!
	9:01pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Song: "Losers Lullaby" by "The Jackets" I love The Jackets! Hope they come to TX to play soon!!
	9:04pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "God Save the Anarchy" by "Mad3" I'm not an animal!
	9:06pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Candy-O'67 @9:01 The Jackets are awesome!
	9:06pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Candy-O'67 @8:59 Oh well...
	9:07pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @9:04 I have a special version of that song... Maybe I'll play it next week. No one else has it!
	9:08pm Tom P: ↳ Song: "God Save the Anarchy" by "Mad3" Just a bit different to the last song! Would love to see the Nikki concert - but a bit too far from Brooklyn, NY!
	9:11pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Tom P @9:08 Nikki says this is last Japan tour... But she might still play USA!
	9:12pm coelacanth∅: greetings Mike and others
	9:13pm Mike Rogers: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:12 coelacanth∅ san! Howdy!
	9:13pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Under My Wheels" by "Nikki Corvette" i think i like this better than the original!
	9:13pm coelacanth∅: ...maybe not but it's close
	9:13pm Mike Rogers: In Japan, the kids don't really know Nikki disappeared for like 25 years after making that one record.
	9:14pm Tom P: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:11 Just looked it Nikki on Wiki "at 16 ran away from home because her mother refused to allow her to attend an MC5 concert." That's creds!
	9:15pm Tom P: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:13 Hi Coel!
	9:15pm Mike Rogers: But they sort of recognize her as the first punk female lead vocalist!
	9:17pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Tom P @9:14 I know. I would be afraid to go to an MC5 concert when I was 16.... 16???? 21!!!!
	9:18pm Mike Rogers: Then she gets a show (her friends sets it up) she doesn't even have a band.... They get signed by Bomp after that! HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?????
	9:21pm Mike Rogers: Makes one record. Then disappears and works as a waitress... For like 25 years.
	9:24pm Tom P: ↳ Song: "Kick Out the Jams" by "Portugal Japan" Speaking of the MC5 - cool! If I see Nikki playing NYC will definitely try and catch the show. Thanks for cluing me in Mike
	9:27pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Tom P @9:24 Speaking of only making one fab record then disappearing... Portugal Japan!
	9:37pm Mike Rogers: Coming up in 30 minutes is my good friend (really, I do have at least one!) Ken Nishikawa! and Ken Nishikawa's "Post Whatever!"
	9:39pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Song: "Skool Boyz" by "Young Parisian" This is killer!
	9:40pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:37 Cool!
	9:43pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Candy-O'67 @9:39 Thanks. I wrote all their songs... As well as half the Go Go's catlogue, "My HeartWill Go On" by Celine Dion, "Rock Around the Clock" by those rock & roll guys... Oh, and all the Partridge Family hits (both of them!)
	9:48pm Tom P: Have to head out now, Mike. But thanks for the great show!
	9:49pm Mike Rogers: ... Ok... Ok... I only wrote 1/2 of the only Partridge Family big hit. "I think I love me!"
	9:49pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:13 maybe i was in japan and didn't know it. at the time Nikki & the corvettes was too pop for me, and none of my friends seemed to know about her so i heard her songs on the radio but never paid attention to it. ...there're a few things i dissed then for similar reason, that i Love now...like the wipers.
	9:50pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Tom P @9:15 hey Tom!
	9:50pm Aitch: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:49 I only just heard The Wipers and really liked it
	9:51pm Mike Rogers: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:49 Wow! Repent before it's too late!!!! ;)
	9:52pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:43 You crack me up!!
	9:54pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Candy-O'67 @9:52 Thanks. Please throw large bills into the hat at the front of the stage!!! ;)
	9:55pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:54 You got it!!!💸💸💸💵💶💷💰
	9:55pm coelacanth∅: partridge family definitely had more than 2 hits. there's i think i love you and i woke up in love this morning; but what about "let's lynch the landlord"... and "california über alles"...
	9:56pm coelacanth∅: oh wait, i might be confusing them with another band
	9:56pm Candy-O'67: Hey coel, Aitch, Tom!
	9:57pm Mike Rogers: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:56 Bwa! Ha! Ha! That David Cassidy was awesome when he's snarl, "Calironia Uber Allies!" Awesome and his evil eye was deadly!
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: hi Candy!
	9:58pm Aitch: Thanks Mike, hello Ken
	9:59pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Aitch san!!!!!
	9:59pm Aitch: General howdy all
	9:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:57 his non-evil eye could be fierce sometimes too!
	9:59pm Ken Nishikawa: ↳ Aitch @9:59 Hi Aitch!
	9:59pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Candy & Coelacanth∅ san!
	10:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Mike! greetings Ken!
	10:00pm Ken Nishikawa: Thanks, Mike! Great show, as always!
	10:00pm Mike Rogers: Hey this avatar is freaking me out!!!!
	10:00pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Mr. Fab!
	10:03pm Mike Rogers: Tom P san! Thanks!
	10:04pm Mike Rogers: Twist is a candy, no? long red stringy thingy.
	10:05pm Ken Nishikawa: ↳ Mike Rogers @10:04 That, too!
	10:05pm Candy-O'67: Who is this Ken dude, Mike??
	10:05pm Aitch: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:00 Back in the day my bro-in-law had a yellow XKE like that
	10:06pm Aitch: ↳ Candy-O'67 @10:05 Ask Ken?
	10:07pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Aitch @10:06 😂
	10:08pm Mr Fab: ↳ Candy-O'67 @10:05 Mike says Ken was educated in London, hosts numerous radio shows, and is basically a kind of walking encyclopedia of music.
	10:08pm coelacanth∅: i've never heard of twist as a musical style -just a dance (or rather a few dances with barely discernible differences)
	10:09pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Candy-O'67 @10:05 We have named them to keep them organized, Candy-'67 san. 1) Ken 1. The Figurehead and boss of WFMU. Kind of like that King guy in English. I think his name is Albert. 2) Ken 2. My dear old friend here in Japan.
	10:09pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Mr Fab @10:08 Avatar, though?🤔
	10:10pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @10:08 Mr. Fab, Ken's real mom, I mean his mom, not his fake mom (if he has one) is a real geisha and one of the last true Geisha's in Japan. Really!
	10:11pm Ken Nishikawa: ↳ Candy-O'67 @10:05 Hiya! I've been DJing after Mike's slot since the end of July. Introducing weird music from Japan. Tonight's show's been relatively radio-friendly, but it will get weirder later on.
	10:11pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Aitch @10:05 sweet. yellow is my least-favorite color for a car! (and many other things) but... it's an xke. my first car-crush i think. (and anyway this yellow's not too bad)
	10:12pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Ken Nishikawa @10:11 Well, hello! Diggin' your selections so far!
	10:12pm Mike Rogers: Oh, Ken! Send the Movie "Matsuchiyo" to Mr. Fab. This movie has never been released, although it world premiered at Raindance in London. It is the only film to have sold out three screenings at Raindance. Even Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" didn't do that!
	10:14pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @10:08 Check out Matsuchiyo, Mr. Fab, maybe you can use it as a premium at Marathon. It has been screened at big film festivals , but never publicly released.
	10:25pm Aitch: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:11 He's 75 now, but English and was a mod back in the day, and a hairdresser.
	10:26pm Ken Nishikawa: ↳ Candy-O'67 @10:12 Thank you!
	10:32pm coelacanth∅: is this what you call "jiuta"? (appologies if you said so, i just came back into the room)
	10:38pm Ken Nishikawa: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:32 Good God! You know "jiuta"? It comes from jiuta. It's a type of so-called nagauta. Jiuta comes from and developed mostly in the western area where Kyoto and Osaka are. This music is from Tokyo, the east. But there are many similarities. Sometimes, it's hard to tell the difference..
	10:43pm Aitch: I read somewhere that to some extent the Japanese islands were settled by Filipino / Indonesians rather than east asians which accounts for many of the cultural differences between Japan and say China/Korea
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Ken Nishikawa @10:38 i just know (but i'm not sure i know!) that some jiuta songs are heartwrenchingly emotional to me. my favorite (and here's your chance to correct me if i'm mistaken) is "kurokame" in particular a version sung by Rié Yanagisawa. i made a night time playlist and it's on there twice! i want to make my own version of it, completely transposed. probably never happen. butn others too, like aki no shirabe (sp?) i think it's a Michio Miyagi composition. gorgeous.
	10:49pm mochy: マイクさんと顕さんリスナーの皆様こんにちは
	10:50pm Ken Nishikawa: ↳ Aitch @10:43 I think you're right. There's been some migration from that region as well as from Siberia before the major migration from China and Korean peninsula began.
	10:52pm Ken Nishikawa: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:47 That will be so cool if you manage to create your own version of it. It is emotional. There are some happy songs but most of them are pretty tragic.
	10:52pm Ken Nishikawa: ↳ mochy @10:49 Mochy-san, Konnichiwa!!!
	10:56pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Song: "The Night, Assassin's Night / 夜、暗殺者の夜" by "Les Ra... Lovin' this!
	10:58pm coelacanth∅: already late for work Thanks Ken! Thanks Mike! 'night y'all
	10:58pm Ken Nishikawa: ↳ Candy-O'67 @10:56 Great recording, I think!
	10:59pm Ken Nishikawa: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:58 Thank you for joining! Don't work too hard!
	11:01pm Aitch: Always fascinating, thanks Ken
	11:01pm Candy-O'67: Thx, Ken and Mike!!
	11:01pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Ken Nishikawa @10:58 For sure!
	11:01pm Ken Nishikawa: ↳ Aitch @11:01 Thank you always for joining us!
	11:02pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Ken. Thanks everyone!
	11:02pm Ken Nishikawa: ↳ Candy-O'67 @11:01 Thank YOU!!!!

	8:56pm Tom P: ↳ Mike Rogers @8:53 Just tried that. Yes, no details at all!
	8:57pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Tom P @8:56 I do know the lease singer and song write is named Suzuko. But after that, I know nothing!
	8:59pm Candy-O'67: They're playing Austin the day after Thanksgiving! I won't be in town! Darn! They are playing Hotel Vegas, small venue. Should be a good show!
	9:01pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Song: "Losers Lullaby" by "The Jackets" I love The Jackets! Hope they come to TX to play soon!!
	9:04pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "God Save the Anarchy" by "Mad3" I'm not an animal!
	9:06pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Candy-O'67 @9:01 The Jackets are awesome!
	9:06pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Candy-O'67 @8:59 Oh well...
	9:07pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Aitch @9:04 I have a special version of that song... Maybe I'll play it next week. No one else has it!
	9:08pm Tom P: ↳ Song: "God Save the Anarchy" by "Mad3" Just a bit different to the last song! Would love to see the Nikki concert - but a bit too far from Brooklyn, NY!
	9:11pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Tom P @9:08 Nikki says this is last Japan tour... But she might still play USA!
	9:12pm coelacanth∅: greetings Mike and others
	9:13pm Mike Rogers: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:12 coelacanth∅ san! Howdy!
	9:13pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Under My Wheels" by "Nikki Corvette" i think i like this better than the original!
	9:13pm coelacanth∅: ...maybe not but it's close
	9:13pm Mike Rogers: In Japan, the kids don't really know Nikki disappeared for like 25 years after making that one record.
	9:14pm Tom P: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:11 Just looked it Nikki on Wiki "at 16 ran away from home because her mother refused to allow her to attend an MC5 concert." That's creds!
	9:15pm Tom P: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:13 Hi Coel!
	9:15pm Mike Rogers: But they sort of recognize her as the first punk female lead vocalist!
	9:17pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Tom P @9:14 I know. I would be afraid to go to an MC5 concert when I was 16.... 16???? 21!!!!
	9:18pm Mike Rogers: Then she gets a show (her friends sets it up) she doesn't even have a band.... They get signed by Bomp after that! HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?????
	9:21pm Mike Rogers: Makes one record. Then disappears and works as a waitress... For like 25 years.
	9:24pm Tom P: ↳ Song: "Kick Out the Jams" by "Portugal Japan" Speaking of the MC5 - cool! If I see Nikki playing NYC will definitely try and catch the show. Thanks for cluing me in Mike
	9:27pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Tom P @9:24 Speaking of only making one fab record then disappearing... Portugal Japan!
	9:37pm Mike Rogers: Coming up in 30 minutes is my good friend (really, I do have at least one!) Ken Nishikawa! and Ken Nishikawa's "Post Whatever!"
	9:39pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Song: "Skool Boyz" by "Young Parisian" This is killer!
	9:40pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:37 Cool!
	9:43pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Candy-O'67 @9:39 Thanks. I wrote all their songs... As well as half the Go Go's catlogue, "My HeartWill Go On" by Celine Dion, "Rock Around the Clock" by those rock & roll guys... Oh, and all the Partridge Family hits (both of them!)
	9:48pm Tom P: Have to head out now, Mike. But thanks for the great show!
	9:49pm Mike Rogers: ... Ok... Ok... I only wrote 1/2 of the only Partridge Family big hit. "I think I love me!"
	9:49pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:13 maybe i was in japan and didn't know it. at the time Nikki & the corvettes was too pop for me, and none of my friends seemed to know about her so i heard her songs on the radio but never paid attention to it. ...there're a few things i dissed then for similar reason, that i Love now...like the wipers.
	9:50pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Tom P @9:15 hey Tom!
	9:50pm Aitch: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:49 I only just heard The Wipers and really liked it
	9:51pm Mike Rogers: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:49 Wow! Repent before it's too late!!!! ;)
	9:52pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:43 You crack me up!!
	9:54pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Candy-O'67 @9:52 Thanks. Please throw large bills into the hat at the front of the stage!!! ;)
	9:55pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:54 You got it!!!💸💸💸💵💶💷💰
	9:55pm coelacanth∅: partridge family definitely had more than 2 hits. there's i think i love you and i woke up in love this morning; but what about "let's lynch the landlord"... and "california über alles"...
	9:56pm coelacanth∅: oh wait, i might be confusing them with another band
	9:56pm Candy-O'67: Hey coel, Aitch, Tom!
	9:57pm Mike Rogers: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:56 Bwa! Ha! Ha! That David Cassidy was awesome when he's snarl, "Calironia Uber Allies!" Awesome and his evil eye was deadly!
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: hi Candy!
	9:58pm Aitch: Thanks Mike, hello Ken
	9:59pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Aitch san!!!!!
	9:59pm Aitch: General howdy all
	9:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:57 his non-evil eye could be fierce sometimes too!
	9:59pm Ken Nishikawa: ↳ Aitch @9:59 Hi Aitch!
	9:59pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Candy & Coelacanth∅ san!
	10:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Mike! greetings Ken!
	10:00pm Ken Nishikawa: Thanks, Mike! Great show, as always!
	10:00pm Mike Rogers: Hey this avatar is freaking me out!!!!
	10:00pm Mike Rogers: Thanks Mr. Fab!
	10:03pm Mike Rogers: Tom P san! Thanks!
	10:04pm Mike Rogers: Twist is a candy, no? long red stringy thingy.
	10:05pm Ken Nishikawa: ↳ Mike Rogers @10:04 That, too!
	10:05pm Candy-O'67: Who is this Ken dude, Mike??
	10:05pm Aitch: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:00 Back in the day my bro-in-law had a yellow XKE like that
	10:06pm Aitch: ↳ Candy-O'67 @10:05 Ask Ken?
	10:07pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Aitch @10:06 😂
	10:08pm Mr Fab: ↳ Candy-O'67 @10:05 Mike says Ken was educated in London, hosts numerous radio shows, and is basically a kind of walking encyclopedia of music.
	10:08pm coelacanth∅: i've never heard of twist as a musical style -just a dance (or rather a few dances with barely discernible differences)
	10:09pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Candy-O'67 @10:05 We have named them to keep them organized, Candy-'67 san. 1) Ken 1. The Figurehead and boss of WFMU. Kind of like that King guy in English. I think his name is Albert. 2) Ken 2. My dear old friend here in Japan.
	10:09pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Mr Fab @10:08 Avatar, though?🤔
	10:10pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @10:08 Mr. Fab, Ken's real mom, I mean his mom, not his fake mom (if he has one) is a real geisha and one of the last true Geisha's in Japan. Really!
	10:11pm Ken Nishikawa: ↳ Candy-O'67 @10:05 Hiya! I've been DJing after Mike's slot since the end of July. Introducing weird music from Japan. Tonight's show's been relatively radio-friendly, but it will get weirder later on.
	10:11pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Aitch @10:05 sweet. yellow is my least-favorite color for a car! (and many other things) but... it's an xke. my first car-crush i think. (and anyway this yellow's not too bad)
	10:12pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Ken Nishikawa @10:11 Well, hello! Diggin' your selections so far!
	10:12pm Mike Rogers: Oh, Ken! Send the Movie "Matsuchiyo" to Mr. Fab. This movie has never been released, although it world premiered at Raindance in London. It is the only film to have sold out three screenings at Raindance. Even Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" didn't do that!
	10:14pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Mr Fab @10:08 Check out Matsuchiyo, Mr. Fab, maybe you can use it as a premium at Marathon. It has been screened at big film festivals , but never publicly released.
	10:25pm Aitch: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:11 He's 75 now, but English and was a mod back in the day, and a hairdresser.
	10:26pm Ken Nishikawa: ↳ Candy-O'67 @10:12 Thank you!
	10:32pm coelacanth∅: is this what you call "jiuta"? (appologies if you said so, i just came back into the room)
	10:38pm Ken Nishikawa: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:32 Good God! You know "jiuta"? It comes from jiuta. It's a type of so-called nagauta. Jiuta comes from and developed mostly in the western area where Kyoto and Osaka are. This music is from Tokyo, the east. But there are many similarities. Sometimes, it's hard to tell the difference..
	10:43pm Aitch: I read somewhere that to some extent the Japanese islands were settled by Filipino / Indonesians rather than east asians which accounts for many of the cultural differences between Japan and say China/Korea
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Ken Nishikawa @10:38 i just know (but i'm not sure i know!) that some jiuta songs are heartwrenchingly emotional to me. my favorite (and here's your chance to correct me if i'm mistaken) is "kurokame" in particular a version sung by Rié Yanagisawa. i made a night time playlist and it's on there twice! i want to make my own version of it, completely transposed. probably never happen. butn others too, like aki no shirabe (sp?) i think it's a Michio Miyagi composition. gorgeous.
	10:49pm mochy: マイクさんと顕さんリスナーの皆様こんにちは
	10:50pm Ken Nishikawa: ↳ Aitch @10:43 I think you're right. There's been some migration from that region as well as from Siberia before the major migration from China and Korean peninsula began.
	10:52pm Ken Nishikawa: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:47 That will be so cool if you manage to create your own version of it. It is emotional. There are some happy songs but most of them are pretty tragic.
	10:52pm Ken Nishikawa: ↳ mochy @10:49 Mochy-san, Konnichiwa!!!
	10:56pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Song: "The Night, Assassin's Night / 夜、暗殺者の夜" by "Les Ra... Lovin' this!
	10:58pm coelacanth∅: already late for work Thanks Ken! Thanks Mike! 'night y'all
	10:58pm Ken Nishikawa: ↳ Candy-O'67 @10:56 Great recording, I think!
	10:59pm Ken Nishikawa: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:58 Thank you for joining! Don't work too hard!
	11:01pm Aitch: Always fascinating, thanks Ken
	11:01pm Candy-O'67: Thx, Ken and Mike!!
	11:01pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Ken Nishikawa @10:58 For sure!
