From The Edit Room

Busy cutting “What’s Your Trip” and some interesting stuff has come in.

We have received thousands of videos from all over the world for this first pass at a “User Generated” show.

And this is just the beginnning.

I want to share one with you that I particularly liked.

This is by Kevin Cooney.

Cooney lives in Tokyo and makes his living as a comedian in Japan., which I am sure is not easy.

He also produces lots of videos about his life in Tokyo.

He sent us a few.

We’ll be airing parts of some on What’s Your Trip, but I wanted to share this one with you.

It’s called Ice Cream City.

Admittedly there are lots of places he could improve the technique, and it could use some editing – but I liked it.
