A few weeks ago I created a facebook account for Deep Kyoto in the hopes of interacting better with you the readers (sign me up here please!). My social network has expanded (and is expanding) significantly as a result but another unforseen consequence is that I am constantly being invited to a silly amount of events. Unfortunately I can’t attend them all, but here are a few, mostly (but not all!) at Urbanguild that have caught my eye and that I’m going to try to get to this month…
