Harajuku Tech Night

Well I was right about the interesting people part, but in most cases the blokes that attended the tech night were surprisingly well dressed, including Danny Choo who rocked up with his full star-trooper kit. He's a wild character, obviously into his star wars and even the casual public boogie.

I will admit that as the night wore on, the subtle star wars theme was too much to resist. We all gave it a go.

Whilst all this was happening, Neil and I still had this cartoon-figure key ring in our back pocket from the promo girls at the door. Without knowing what all the fuss was about, we casually assumed it was just a cheap form of advertisement and forgot all about it but eventually some fella came up to us and asked "Do you Poken?". At the time we thought this bloke was a couple horses short in the top paddock but it turns out that when you rub two of these things together, a little light comes on and they sync. So by the time you get home, you've synced with 30 0r s0 people and when you plug the gadget into your computer and register, a list of registered contacts comes up with all their details. They were calling it an electric business card. It's a good idea, apparently popular in Europe where it started. We ended up leaving a bit earlier, popping into the local karaoke bar on the way home for a wind down to the night. I'm improving, but still not blogable. Sorry to those out there who I'm denying a laugh.
