Too pooped from a whirlwind drive to and from Kitakami to go into details, so I'll just briefly mention what I got up to last night. Before I met up with Alex, I had dinner at McDonald's. Why? Because I was hungry and they had a Street Fighter meal. I had the chicken. That orange concoction is some sort of Energy drink, obviously to help you pummel your opponent.
We went to BBs, but it was closed. ON A FRIDAY NIGHT! This does not bode well, that place is one of the few that are open until 6am. So searching for another venue, we discovered this very cool, mellow place that stunk of cigars (though no one was smoking) and had several huge lounge chairs that would be tough to get out of after a few of the potent cocktails they serve. We only had ONE drink. I promised myself I wouldn't drink at all, but that is always an easily broken vow.
Unable to find a larger venue for our Halloween gig, we went back to Suu at Dragon's Diner and finalized plans for next week. It holds 10 comfortably, 15 with some squeezing and 20 if you suck in your stomachs. Hopefully, all the attendees will pop in for a drink or two and then scurry along to another party. There has been a lot of positive buzz about this soiree. I hope it doesn't bomb like last time we held a party there. (Alex, myself, and one or two regulars.)
I called it an early night and hopped on a subway around 11. En route home, I popped in the local conbini, MiniStop, and noticed that there's a new Ichiban-Kuji prize lottery for the 40th anniversary of BttF!
The A prize and the Last Prize seem to be different versions of the DeLorean. The B prize is a stuffed Einstein! I scored a C prize, a tote bag.
And the ubiquitous prize is the G prize, a poster.
At least I got the second best one! (The best one is the 3D Jaws).
A quick Oni before bed (recommended by many of your top sleep therapists), is 鬼の妹 (oni no imouto) the Younger Sister of the Oni, a cannibalistic little scamp who dines on parents.
She looks a tad cuter in the following picture.
Before it gets so cold you need to put away your BBQ, check out Action Figure Barbecue, there're some cool figures hanging around.
I have two LONG entries to get to tomorrow. And then I need to mentally prepare for a costume party for my students on Monday.
g'nite

The 2nd oni no imouto is definitely cuter and less scary!
For sure.
