Occasionally I use the Zoom H1 for audio if I want to record audio in-field. As for the Pixi tripod, I sometimes use it while filming food, but most of the time I use it to mount my Samson Go Mic on a desk for voiceovers (in conjunction with the other accessories, listed below).

Personally, I'm a pretty big fan of Yebisu, at least as far as non-microbrewed beers are concerned. So needless to say, it felt pretty buckwild to learn the history of this operation. Especially when all kinds of geisha girl posters were poppin' off left and right, making me feel an insatiable urge to start chugging some 'perfect yebisu' and 'yebisu creamy stout' like a wild man possessed. All things considered, this was a pretty sick-ass Japanese beer tour experience if you ask me. SoloTravelBlog is travel in Japan with a sarcastic edge.
