[RIDGELINE] Walking a Bit of the Izu Peninsula

Ridgeline subscribers — A little note to begin: A buddy of mine, Nick Dwyer, is running a Kickstarter campaign for his A Century in Sound documentary. He’s looking at 100 years of Tokyo history through its music cafés (classical, jazz, rock, noise, etcetera). He’s collaborated with photographer Lee Chapman on a companion book. I am a backer. Nick handed me the book in person last week — it’s stunning. They nailed it. What makes this project extra special is that Nick has truly put in the shoe leather for cultivating intimate relationships with all the shops they feature. He’s been working on this documentary series for a decade. The shop owners adore the hell out of him. (I’ve seen it in person.) I also got a sneak peek at half of the doc in August — it’s fabulous, and deserves to be seen all over. Consider giving it a back and grabbing the book. It’s a good’un. Six days left, and they’re almost at their goal.
