The first time I went to Japan was in 1993 with a band called D.R.I.

We almost weren't able to go because 6 days before the first show 3 of the 4 band members were locked up in a prison in Spain (it wasn't jail, it was a prison), but that's a completely different story.

That story ends with a high speed drive to the Barcelona airport, even though our flight was from Madrid, but we eventually made it to Japan, and that's where :


When I checked us into our Tokyo hotel, I used this credit card, fully expecting that the front desk clerk would frown at me and ask for a real card.

But he didn't.

So we all headed to our rooms, and it wasn't until a few hours later, while returning from a record buying adventure, that somebody asked me for another credit card because "the one you used to check in keeps being declined".

So much for "Unquestioned Credit".
