I have been up for more than 24 hours now, and have good memories of meeting up with Luke, Mark, and Manami, who came up for capoeira and sightseeing respectively. The capoeira meet was crazy (Justin put up his pics here)- I can only say that it was like watching contortionist gymnists sparing with eachother pumped up on amphetamines. Luke held his own against all who took him on, despite their initial attempts to haze him. Respect, biotches...
We met up with Mark and Manami after at the after party and after-after party and proceeded to drink like old times. Some choice individual words will give an impression of the night out:
congas and djembes
unexpected huge matsuri in Namba
dijiradoo
techno nunchakus
long island ice tea
kinryu (different from the chain down in Kyushu) ramen
internet cafe vs. karaoke (debating where to catch some sleep at 4 in the morning- internet cafe won)
Damn. I miss nights out with the old crew- The Fingerhut brothers, Joe, Danny, Jason, Matt, Luke, and everyone else who used to come out to drink, cause trouble, and find any excuse to celebrate something with a get together or party. We may have all gone our separate ways, but when our paths will cross there is one thing for certain. Some pretty interesting things will happen in quick succession.

The matsuri in Namba was the Midosuji Parade.

Heh, I always recall that incident whenever I wake up feeling like death from a hangover with wounds and bruises that I don't remember getting. I don't care if y'all are getting married, but going out last time doesn't count as a legit night out. Next get together has to be Las Vegas, or Mexico (not TJ) or somewhere far from your better judgement (meaning your wife/girlfriend).

When's the next time you're coming out? We should all coordinate.

..."your better judgement?" :)
Hey, I'm STILL cleaning out your closet from the good ole UCSB daze and found some drinking game, you know, those wooden block things that you try to balance 'till someone goofs? It had your wobbly printing on each piece, instructions on how the "loser" must get more inebriated....do you want me to throw that out or donate it to some teenagers or keep it for your future kids?
