“Prisencolinensinainciusol” is a song composed by Adriano Celentano, an Italian singer/song writer.  The lyrics are often described as sounding like American English as heard by a non–English speaker.  Thanks to N. (of Tokyo to Osaka fame) for the link.  =)

CATCH OF THE WEEK: Coffee ‘n Cream, (uber yum with soft serve!) created from Costa Rican Tarrazu-Montes de Oro beans, roasted for us by M.

New teaser trailer for Tokyo To Osaka just came out!  Tokyo To Osaka premieres this summer, and we can’t wait!  We’ll definitely be showing it at the shop along with some of our other fixie favourites, Macaframa + Mash.  Visit the newly redesigned Tokyo To Osaka website for movie screenshots, rider bios, and more.

CATCH OF THE WEEK: Brave the cold + rain, and come see us this week — Oatmeal Apple Cinnamon is guaranteed to warm you up. =)

Our friend, Shane, recently filmed this video to promote Kinfolk Bicycles, which are gorgeous + handbuilt in in Kansai, Japan.  We know we tend to babble on far too much about our love for Tokyo, but we do sincerely love San Mateo as well.  So, it’s great to see our adopted hometown in this video. =)

Shane is also the owner of two awesome hiphop barbershops near Sweet Breams, The San Mateo Zoo + Headshots (both are highly recommended and are appointment only).  Unsurprisingly, he loves Japan almost as much as we do, and helped to inspire the documentary, Tokyo 2 Osaka.  We’re definitely looking forward to this movie, which drops in the next few months.  Tokyo 2 Osaka is directed/produced by Nic Hill of Underdog Pictures.

Proof that the world is a very small place: in 2005, a co-worker of ours who we’ve since lost touch with (and who is also one of the riders in Tokyo 2 Osaka) brought us to the initial screening of Piece by Piece, a movie about San Francisco graffiti he helped to produce, which Nic also directed.
