breaking news
this just in from josh (another josh here in japan, not me):
Hey dude… I should wait until the show is done I guess. but IKEA is not a rumor… I was on my way to Costco yesterday I saw it under construction. It may have been the distribution, but it was in Chiba ken like out past Disneyland. I saw the IKEA sign, and it’s really big, so liek I said it may be the dist. center. I thought I saw something about the first store being down south but I may be wrong. It’s on the IKEA site, and I can’t wait! I’m from SoCal.. we have a bunch of IKEA stores there. Anyway dude… it’s true.. supposed to be open in early 2006 sometime.

that’s right folks, it’s a rumor no more! IKEA IS COMING TO TOWN! (well, a town far away, but nevertheless, a town in japan)

We are listening from the UK Josh, and love your show. I record it and then go on a long walk so that I can listen to it in peace (and be reminded of my year of living in Nihon).
My husband and I try to wonder what you look like so we can put a face to the voice. Can you do that?
Anyway, congrats on the new birth and keep your great, refreshing and entertaining program going.
Thanks,
Christee

I knew it wasn’t a rumor, my dad works for IKEA and he was there a while back to help get them get some things started.

Hey Josh-
Regarding the Picture thing… just a thought, Len from Jawbone Radio is an amazing artist. I bet you could send him a picture and he would do a nice drawing thats rather representative. Its just a thought, I know lotsa people don’t wanna put their face on the net, but had to mention it. Loved 16. Played a song per your request on 36. Matane!
