This weekend on May 5th -- under the auspicious trifecta of the supermoon of 2012, the purported dawning of the Age of Aquarius, and Kodomonohi (Children's Day) -- we were honored by the presence of Rev. Koichi Barrish as he performed a traditional Shinto Blessing at our new studio.

The Reverend shooed out all the negative spirits and ushered in some good ones, giving a particularly hearty welcome to those in charge of creativity and entertainment, naturally.

While there was a good amount of Sake splashed upon the entry doors, there was still plenty to go around for a toast to new beginnings. Thanks to everyone for being there and we look forward to many great and positive years to come! (And more Sake. Definitely more Sake...)
