Murakami is in town for his show at GAGOSIAN GALLERY, Madison Ave. A friend just in from Japan – says Murakami, (called Takashi by his friends), is MEGA MEGA BIG in Japan. That must be so, at his Go-Go Gagosian opening last night, there were at least 3 camera crews in from JAPAN including TV FUJI and TV TOKYO.

JOHN WATERS . . . now that he’s MEGA on COURT TV – we don’t see him hanging out in CHELSEA, so much, anymore !!!
. . . vicinity of TIMES SQUARE, NYC, APRIL 29, 2007.
we were on our way to see the MICHAEL ARIAS animation feature, TEKKONKINKREET, at MoMA.
Mr. Waters was really nice, we kind of jumped in his face, lucky he remembered us from his good old art scene days..
