Tohno Ventures

Before the Beach Boys there were The Ventures. Ask most young people in the U.S. these days and they'd probably think you were talking about venture capitalists. The Ventures, however, are still touring Japan and have many loyal followers. The Tohno Ventures is a tribute band that plays extremely well and is very entertaining.

The Ventures may not be known anymore in the U.S. but their classic surf music is licensed in ever so many films of the past as well as commercials.

They definitely have a niche market here in Japan. They've been touring here since becoming world famous ever so many years ago. While The Ventures may not be touring in the U.S. or other countries around the world they have been consistently making their annual touring pilgrimage to the land of the rising sun since their beginning fame.

Jennifer Anniston quits coffee?



This may be old news but I read that Jennifer Anniston has quit drinking coffee in conjunction with quitting smoking. I've never understood why these choices always have to be all or nothing. Cigarettes are understandable due to their extremely addictive nature but coffee is in a completely different addictive category. A cup of coffee is one of those little somewhat healthy pleasures that can actually help those recovering from other addictions. It also really helps to keep your weight down when you drink it black as there are no calories. Usually people who quit smoking inevitably put on a few pounds in the beginning but quitting coffee at the same time would surely exacerbate this unwanted gain. Well if Jennifer Anniston ever changes her mind and decides to start brewing again I'd be elated to get even a little of her biz.
