Saturday was Kentaro's daughter's school teacher's birthday party at Motown 2 in Roppongi. I know, I know .. it's a long story. Motown is like Hard Rock Cafe, except a Motown version (duh!). The party started pretty mellow. Good food, good conversations, and a few drinks. Jeanne received a nice Louis Vuitton belt (Takashi Murakami design .. STOP mentioning his name!) from all the parents. Got a nice cake with ALOT OF CANDLES ;)
The ladies decided to goto a male strip club. OK, fine. Hung around Motown for about an hour. The place was starting to get packed. Our table got invaded by Chinese and Canadian people. Then the ladies returned .. WASTED! The Chinese and Canadians were swept aside by girl power. I felt like we were in a new club. I guess the strip club got their blood flowing or spiked their drinks. More madness ensued.

Here's what I remember: Flamenco dancer romancing Jeanne, strangers from all around joining in the craziness, Canadians buying a round of Kamikaze shots.
Then for some reason we decided to go eat. We crashed a restaurant across the street from Almond (pronounced Ah-mondo in Japanese). Stayed there until about 5AM .. Jeanne's passed out, barely making it to a taxi. She ended up crashing at Kentaro's place. Shirley and I got home after transferring at 2 or 3 stations. I couldn't sleep the next morning cause had the bug inspector, and bed delivered .. ahhh, at least I got to sleep in a bed FINALLY.
NOTE: If you plan to party in Tokyo and don't have a car, you'll end up partying till the morning. One reason is that most trains stop around midnight. Once you're past the 12 o'clock mark, you're in for a wild evening. It amazing how many people are catching the first trains back home. All hung over with red eyes.
