Flick's Party

It is Flick's birthday today and so after the festival we went to an Italian restaurant in Tenjin. Kanashima-san came with us, which was good since we didn't know where it was. I think we highly emabarassed her on the train, as we were wearing our horns cuasing the normally starey Japanese to stare even more. Then we sang happy birthday to Flick. It brought back bad memories for Knasher, as the year before one of us lot had been so drunk that the driver had asked Kanashima to stop him singing! We even got asked to have our photos taken!

Anyway, the restaurant was an all you can drink place, and they brought out about 8 dishes for us we shared between about 2 or 3 people. Best bit was the steak, which just melted in your mouth. Though they also had pizza, spaghetti, aubergine and tuna. Overall it was pretty tasty. Then we had cake to finish with that Katherine had brought. By this time however we had missed the last train home! We performed our entire repertoire of barbershop songs as well in preparation for "The Cream Teases" debut next month.

After the restaurant we headed to a Karaoke bar where we sung our hearts out for 2 hours. Nothing else much to say about that, apart from that I make a wicked Scatman! Following that we went to Fubar, which seems to be the place where all the foreigners hang out. Not many Japanese people there, and everyone spoke English. The owner was called Jodi and he was pretty safe. He even remembered my name. Only had one drink there, and that was the free one included in the ￥1,000 entrance fee. Had quite a good time, though and it was soon 5.30, about the time of the first train home. Binks was quite drunk and wept the whole way home, with Brendan also about as drunk trying to look after her. I think it took them half and hour longer to walk back from the station than us.

I think I'm just going to sleep now. No alarms. We'll see what happens.
