The annual One Love Festival took over Yoyogi Park — or the portion of it by NHK Hall — yesterday and today. There were reggae beats in our ears; Red Stripe and Guinness in our hands and in the ice boxes; and plenty of smoke in our eyes — most (though maybe not all) emanating from the basic barbecues at the food stalls... There were a god number of grills turning out jerk chicken of various degrees of spiciness (and blackness). But the longest lines (and best food) were at the stalls operated by the Jamaican community: JamRock Cafe, the excellent new little restaurant in Harajuku; and Rice and Peas, run by the ever-mellow Twitch (in town from his base on the coast in Hayama). Now it really feels like the summer — and the festival season — is here.
