Thanks Bad At Sports! You got me through another year of hurriedly working away to teach adolescents to equally appreciate the greatness that we all love: the art world. As I live in Tokyo now, I was curious, will there be an Asia Bureau or Japan Bureau? I am looking forward to the new year of interviews and commentary. Makes me want to move to Chicago and work for you!
You can be the Asian bureau. If you can record reasonably decent audio, aren’t insane, and can send us the file we’ll use it!
I would love to see an Asian bureau. Interviewing people is fun, you can talk to people you wouldn’t normally get to know, and the recording equipment can be dirt cheap.

I suggest an Olympus LS10 linear recorder— a marked improvement over my linear recorder and cheap. It only costs around 200 or 300 dollars, has two slightly diagonal built-in mics, built in tiny-but-good speakers. Records directly to mp3.
Not insane. Hmmm. Can’t be a person from Chicago then.
