Drinking and bowling with most of the training crew, friends, and Sayaka.

And damn did we have fun (well I know Sayaka and I did!)

The plan was to meet at Hard Rock Cafe at 5:30, but Sayaka and I were really bad at keeping track of time and we got there about 6PM. When we got there Atsushi and Chris were at one table, while Neil, Becky, and Laura were at another. We were later joined by Matteo and Elspeth once we got a table area set for all of us (thanks to Sayaka!).

We all got our drinks and just sat and chatted about our almost year in Japan. Lots of us have lost weight, or shoe size and leg length in Laura's case (how in the hell?), but it felt just like the first night we ever hung out.

Damage wise, I had 2 hypnotiq ice teas, and a bahama mama that I shared with Sayaka. Ate an order of potato skins and a big ass sundae!

Also someone told HRC it was my birthday, so I got a balloon and a picture (which is the most molester picture I have taken, EVER!). But it wasn't over yet, oh NO! I had to get up on stage and dance! I faked being shy for a few seconds, then ran up on the stage. Usually it is YMCA, which I woulda been down to do, but I had no idea what was going on, and gave a half assed dance towards the end, while the rest of the time was hamming it up for the cameras.

After drinking and eating we went bowling. Sayaka and I left first because she needed to go buy socks, and we went to Shop 99, not knowing they sold socks at the alley. We met with the others and did 2 games of bowling, with people rushing to catch last train, and leaving before their games ended (one without his camera!)

Sayaka, @chan and I walked to the station in the rain and her and I eventually made it home safe. Overall, a good night for all!
