Hec, (if you stop in before 6:00) Do you have any recommendations on where to eat/drink around the Fillmore?

Well, Japantown is right there. There's a place on the bridge between the two Japantown Centers where I like to get Donburi. But you should just go into Japantown Center and find a sushi place that looks good.

There's a karaoke bar in there too, if Juliana feels like wowing a bunch of salarymen on a business trip.

We can do that! (except for the Karaoke part)

We can do that!

Honestly, there are probably ten really good restaurants in there. The place I like (name escapes me, but it's right across from the bookstore as you go over the bridge) also has a huge selection of sake.

YAY sake!

Sake and Joan Jett! The perfect combination.

God, I was just reading Jeffrey Lee Pierce's (of The Gun Club) journals and he was talking about getting bailed out of jail by Joan Jett. On several occasions. (This was the 80s. He's dead now.)

This one's for Suzi and Raq: Ten Best A's Games in 2006

Party is over, guests are gone, clean up is pretty much done.

Highlights -
Mom was surprised.
Lots of no-shows.
The "add a caption" pictures were a hit.
DH disappeared mid-party and fell asleep in our room.
Tons of extra food.
Last group of folks would. not. leave. (ok, they did eventually, but the normal hints that "party is over, mom is tired" did not work.)
Mom is happy.
I'm exhausted.

We have so much extra food, all the local buffistas should show up for Sunday brunch.

Great list Hec. It looks like I was only at one of them. Darn it.

I almost feel like having a posting marathon of my own, to kill the thread.

But I won't.

sooo happy. or maybe drunk is a better word. friends had me to dinnner. yay. i drank way too much wine. happily, DH called, so I made the bed while he was on the phone. I get to sleep in a bed instead of a chair

life is good. I can sleep all day tomorrow - as long as I wake up briefly to feed and pet the cat.
