DJ Tonk Tonight

In San Francisco this evening from 5-9pm, the Asian Art Museum (200 Larkin Street) is kicking off another summer of MATCHA, its series of 'first Thursdays' monthly mixers:

"MATCHA makes a fierce second season comeback with a special guest: DJ Tonk, one of Japan's most reputable hip-hop producers/DJs. In this rare stateside appearance, he will be laying down his unique blend of fresh beats, accompanied by emcee Othello. As he spins infectious grooves at the decks, guests are invited to step into the world of manga and anime in the museum’s Manga Lounge, participate in special guided tours of Tezuka: The Marvel of Manga and Yoshitoshi's Strange Tales, create manga (Japanese comic), listen to a brief talk on manga, and more."

Looks like a good time--go check it out.
