Clark&#8217;s up in japan now because he had<br \/>\nan exhibit at the greenroom festival in yokohama this past weekend. last<br \/>\nnight, he called me and left a message on my phone saying how he wants<br \/>\nto go up to Sendai to check things out. i thought that was pretty cool.<br \/>\nthen today, he calls me again and says he&#8217;s at the yokohama station and<br \/>\nis heading to Sendai right now. so i ask him where he&#8217;s going? he says,<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t know, just want to go and see things for myself so going there,<br \/>\nrenting a car, and driving around. i know a lot of people from hawaii<br \/>\nthat want to see things with their own eyes. no, it&#8217;s not sightseeing,<br \/>\nit&#8217;s just a true feeling how people from hawaii want to help, but want<br \/>\nto see how with their own eyes. just like me so i know that feeling all<br \/>\ntoo well. i point him in a direction, then we hang up as he gets on the<br \/>\ntrain. 5 seconds later, i thought to myself. if he goes to Sendai and<br \/>\ngets off the train, he will see a booming city and probaby won&#8217;t be able<br \/>\nto get into the deep side. that would be a waste. so i get on my phone,<br \/>\ncall up my dear friend Megu-chan in Sendai. luckily she was off today. i<br \/>\nasked if she can guide Clark around. she said of course. i call Clark<br \/>\nback, tell him that he will be taken care of, and now, they are driving<br \/>\naround Sendai as i type this blog. it took 10 minutes on the phone for<br \/>\nme, and when i hung up, i thought to myself. gosh, this is cool to have<br \/>\neverybody connected in one way or another. Clark told me over and over<br \/>\nhow he loves japan and how he wants to help in someway. he&#8217;s already a<br \/>\nphotographer superstar in japan and i&#8217;m sure he will make a lot of<br \/>\npeople happy just by showing up. i&#8217;m pretty happy that this all worked<br \/>\nout. i am smiling in my car. i&#8217;m hoping something good will come out of<br \/>\nthis. the more people that get involved, the better. and for me, i know<br \/>\nthat it&#8217;s never too late. 5 minutes later, Clark sent me a text message<br \/>\nsaying &#8220;thank you, i got in touch with Megu-chan. this is priceless!&#8221;<br \/>\nthe word &#8220;PRICELESS.&#8221; there are thing in life money can buy, but there<br \/>\nare things that are priceless. my friends are all important to me. and<br \/>\nconnecting them in way or another is one of the main reasons for<br \/>\nGo-Naminori. it was a dream 7 years ago, now it&#8217;s reality.<br \/>\nHey Clark, Thanks for thinking about Sendai.<br \/>\nTo my friends in Sendai, Hope you can meet up with Clark!<br \/>\nAnd to Megu-chan, you are a true friend I can always depend on.
