Well, I saw Richard, and it was really weird. At first he was very friendly, but then when I brought up the Junji Ito pinball machines, he stopped responding to me. He asked me to leave his shop without giving me any explanation, but he seemed... freaked out. I went back to my car, and he actually closed his store, lowered the shutters and everything. I mean, in the middle of the day ???
I also called Stern to find out if it was really worth making an appointment, and they pretty much discouraged me from coming.
For the dump, I tried to go there, but when I put the address the parking lot guy gave me into the GPS, everything went haywire. I drove around in circles for several hours and couldn't find the place... even my smartphone had no signal, no wifi, no 4G
