Yes they celebrate Halloween in Tokyo - in a big way.
And so did we until we took a wrong turn some where.....
It started out fine. We had cocktails in our apartment with our neighbors. Nice.
Bottle #1.
Then we went to an Italian restaurant down the street. Nice.
Bottle #2
Then we met a friend and ventured into the streets of Roppongi, aka, the Sunset Strip of Tokyo.
This was when I realized we should have been wearing costumes.
What's in this dude's pocket?
Tokyo Tower in costume
Bar #1 - cocktails 1-2
Apparently this guy had one too many.
Do you think she's a real blond?
Why is she licking me?
She really got him, didn't she?
Do you think those sunglasses are real?
He always looks like this.
There is a bank down the street
Bar #2 - cocktails 3-4
Do you think that gun's real?
What's this guy been smoking?
Can I have some?
Nice....hat.
Bar # 3 - cocktails 5-6
This guys full of hot air.
Sorry I couldn't resist.
Aren't we cool. Look we're taking a picture of ourselves in the mirror.
That's never been done before.
I have no idea who this person is.
I think they're channeling Mad Men.
I didn't need a fortune teller to tell me I was going to feel very bad tomorrow.
Ok so allegedly there were two other bars after this. They were strip clubs. I vaguely recall one with all Asian girls dressed in catholic school uniforms and then the last one where I somehow came to be sitting in front of the stage where a gorgeous Eastern European girl undulated in front of me and kissed me?
That can't be right. It was just a dream; it was just a dream.
And then......nothing.
Nothing but 36 hours of hell. The worst hangover in recent memory. I had to lay in bed the entire day. Category Five - the big one.
You know, the kind where light hurts and the slightest noise cannot be tolerated and just the thought of food sends waves of convulsions through your soul.
I thought about praying - you know making the solemn promise you won't drink again if the room would just stop spinning. But I've done that before and you always renege.
I had to fly to L.A. the next day.
I think I was still drunk.
Halloween is evil.
