Week 13 of 2026
Traveled to Frankfurt for a couple of days to attend the NMIXX concert. The concert was great but I didn’t have time to discover the city.
Had to walk 2 km after the concert. The train wasn’t passing in the nearest train station, the bus neither. I joined a bunch of other people and walked to another train station.
Ate roll cake and mochi from IIMORI, a French-Japanese Pâtisserie. Tasty but a little expensive.
Got some Ghibli merchandising from Atomax for my family.
Went to the NMIXX pop-up store near the airport to get an overpriced cap, collaborating to JYPapi’s pension fund. The cap wasn’t available but I had already spent 30 minutes going there, so I ordered one home. Yay sunk cost fallacy!
Sold the Serge Mantra II panel. It’s a great synth but I don’t have enough space on my desk (or brain) for it.
