Last week while doing some work in the Mighty Ape warehouse I was rifling
through the new DVDs and I saw that the documentary Teenage
Paparazzo had recently arrived. Teenage Paparazzo discusses the relationship
between celebrities and the paparazzi and societies obsession with celebrities.
The doco is directed by Adrian
Grenier who is an actor and is probably most well known for his lead role as
Vinny Chase in the television show Entourage.
Entourage also happens to be one of my favourite television shows.
Now I see loads of exciting new products arrive each day but this one was
particularly significant because, believe it or not, myself and two friends
were filmed and interviewed to appear in this movie.
I was in New York City in October 2009 with my friends David
and Jordan. We were there to perform at this music festival, CMJ Music Marathon.
David is a rapper and we were there chasing the American dream.
We were walking back to our apartment at 4am after a night out and I saw a
familiar person leaving a bar around the corner from our place. It was Adrian
Grenier. I introduced myself and my friends and told him how we were big fans
of Entourage. We ended up hanging out and having a chat with him and his two
friends on the street for about 10 or 15 minutes.

criminal underworld. Mafia II is expected to be an immersive gaming experience
with a strong story and script, and licenced music that will tranport you back
to the ‘40s and ’50s.

I had the good fortune of spending last week in the land of the rising
sun, Japan. While my fellow monkeys were layering up and toiling away at
Mighty Ape HQ's warehouse and office I was catching the warm rays of summer in
Japan :P And warm it was, it averaged over 30 degrees during the day and in the
late 20s at night, mmmm. (By the way, I'm Che, just in case you
haven't figured that out already :P)
I've always had a fascination with Japan and Japanese culture since I was
young. I distinctly remember a parent coming to class when I was five years
old to talk about her recent visit to Japan. She taught us some origami and
had photos of Mount Fuji, Sumo wrestlers, bullet trains, and Japanese style
toilets; all really fascinating stuff to me as a child. I ended up studying
Japanese at high school and managed to go on a class trip for to Japan when
I was 15. It was my first big overseas trip, I hadn't seen much of the world
at that stage, suffice to say it was mind-blowing. I've been itching to get back
there for a few years and when some cheap flights came up recently I jumped at
the chance.
