We showed you guys the preview of the Takashi Murakami show at the Moca in Los Angeles yesterday but here are some pictures from tonights gala also held at the Moca:

Arrival:

Kanye performed, opened up with a great cartoon featuring the Murakami Bear from the album cover and had a crazy light show which at some point made us feel like we were in “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”

Enter the dining hall through giant LV trunks:

All 4 walls were really happy:

The tables were beautifully set, the placemats became quit the hot items at the end of the event!

Too many cameras, which one to look at? Thanks Nigo!

BACK TO THE ART WORK:

SOMETIMES ONE HAS TO PAUSE AND REFLECT, THIS IS AN ART SHOW AFTER ALL!

WOAH, EXCUSE ME MISS…..

GOODIES, WE HAD TO LEAVE THE $500,000 LV TRUNK WITH THE 33 HAND BAGS BEHIND! WE’LL TRY GETTING IT OUT AGAIN TOMORROW. STAY TUNE!

Hidden in a secret studio the work goes on.  2 rooms, one for Madonna and one for N*3*R*D!  The Bape crew is in town and Goodman who is here filming for NIGOLDENEYE broke the fish eye lens so we took it upon us to have a little fun!

Protools is making these sound boards obsolete but it’s still fun playing with all the buttons

Is Nigo: A-Cold, B-Just got caught stealing a keyboard, C-Cold Chilling?

FISH EYE LENS

What does this FISH EYE LENS do anyways?

Chad couldn’t resist either!

REVERSE SPY FISH EYE LENS SHOT:

You would think Chad is the one who just got off a 12 hour flight!

We all know that finding spacious apartments in big cities is getting harder.  This might not be that interesting for all you guys in the suburbs or country side but if you like ping pong or table tennis and have a door that you don’t use that much here is a great idea:

Here is a bit more info as well.  If you like gadgets you probably are already up on Gizmodo’s site but if you haven’t been there it’s worth checking out once in a while!

So once a month our friend Cipha Sounds and his partner Jamal(GO COWBOYS) put on a comedy show in New York at Comix.  If you live in NYC or are in town make sure you come out and support.  They bring out great comedians and Comix is a really nice venue.  Here are a few pictures from last nights event which featured:

* RASHEED (BAD BOYS OF COMEDY)
* MICHAEL SHAUN (HOT 97 MORNING SHOW)
* JUDAH FRIEDLANDER (NBC’S “30 ROCK” TV SHOW)
* RUBERTO VANDERPOOL (DEF COMEDY JAM)
* ROB STAPLETON (DEF COMEDY JAM)…..

CIPHA & JAMAL 

THIS GUY TOOK THE CAKE, HILARIOUS: JUDAH FRIEDLANDER 

CIPHA ALSO INTRODUCED EVERYONE TO UNSIGNED R&B HYPE: SLICK MUFFIN

ALWAYS FUN TO SEE OLD FRIENDS: EBRO, ANGIE MARTINEZ & MISS INFO 

You have to give it up to this guy, but who would fly in this thing?

They are mighty early in Harajuku with this T-shirt!

How about Nobu and 7 Eleven sharing the same space, the best of both worlds?

Check out this crazy story from The New York Times!

Thanks to Marce & Ruffy for the link!

We forgot to mention that while in Hong Kong we took a quick trip to Macau.   Macau is an island about 1 hour from Hong Kong by speed ferry or 15mns by helicopter.  Macau used to be a Portuguese colony but was handed back to China a few years ago.  It is basically the Las Vegas of Asia and has actually surpassed Vegas in gambling earnings last year.  There are some crazy casinos there and now that the Vegas casinos have been allowed to built there there is some quick land development going on.  The most interesting thing about Macau is that only about 30% of Chinese citizens are given visas to travel outside of China and most only visas to Hong Kong and Macau.  Now in Chinese culture people feel as though they are born lucky which makes gambling very popular so you can imagine what king of gambling goes on in Macau.  The casinos are packed 24/7.

THE TURBO JET FERRIES RUN 24/7:

THE VENETIAN JUST OPENED, MAKE SURE YOU CHECK OUT THE FAT BURGER IN THE FOOD COURT!

DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH FUN YOU ARE HAVING, MACAU CAN BE A BLUR:
