Portland 6pm, Dutch radio, and the Hungarian Ambassador to Japan

The latest newsletter
from our Canadian friend Geoff

Dear Everybody,
I hope you're making it by okay in these difficult times.
Things are still going well at Berner Industries. My November show at Paradox in Tillburg is going to be broadcast on National Radio on the 13th of December, 21.00-24.00 in a program called De Zaterdag van Zes" (Saturday on 6): www.vpro.nl/programma/dezaterdagvanzes. The show went so well, I'm thinking of releasing it at some point, partly just to be able to say "Geoff Berner Live at Paradox", like some kind of accidentally incredibly accurate pidgin English statement about my career.
I am making a rare little trip down to the U.S.A. this weekend. I thought I should reward you nice Americans for your recent good electoral behaviour. IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR ME TO EMPHASIZE HOW EARLY THE PORTLAND SHOW IS! 6PM! Really! But that will give us more time to have drinks and chat later, so that's good, no?
Touring the "Klezmer Mongrels" album, I am particularly sensitive to stories of odd cultural mixing. If any of you have any, I'd be happy to read them.
I have to tell you this story that the brilliant photographer Fumie Suzuki, who lives in Budapest, told me.
This crew of Hungarian graffiti artists went to Japan last year, with the aim of working their way from the very North to the very South of Japan, tagging public spaces in their particular Hungarian graffiti way.
They thought it would be a fun project to blog and photo their work for their Hungarian site, in this distinctive new setting for them.
Unfortunately for them, public tagging is not a particularly popular sport in Japan. According to Fumie, it's unheard of, and considered incredibly, offensively anti-social by pretty much everyone. As a result, while the Hungarians believed that they were sneakily spray-painting while in cognito, they were, in fact, causing a massive sensation in the Japanese national media, who were running pictures of the offensive scrawls on the front pages of the newspapers, which, I suppose, the Hungarians weren't bothering to glance at, as they toodled along the north/south axis of the country.
After a few days, the oblivious Magyars were easily caught. As Fumie says, "I wouldn't want to be the Hungarian Ambassador to Japan on that day."
I hope my little trip to America won't be like that.
