yesterday was swell!

s's friend was leaving to go back to tokyo (since he graduated from columbia business school).. we had a going-away get-together.

we trusted shu when he said that all should see the off-broadway BatBoy.

my my was it a fiasco or what!? des dozed off.. suraj was all fidgety.. and maroshi was in his own world.. shu was probably the only guy actually glued to the stage.. and this was his third time seeing this play!

the first act was not bad at all.. the second act was CHEESY.

so corny that i laughed at the height of corniness!

oh lord!

anyways after that we went to Bowlmor.
we had planned to bowl a few games.. instead, we ended up bowling a few sam adams down our oesophagus! (with a huge tomato basil pizza)

not one single game did we play.

just sat there for two hours, emptying pitcher after pitcher!

got bored.. then decided we were hungry for some more drinks.. besides sam adams..

debating which restaurant to go to.. indian, japanese, korean, thai.. blah blah

our next stop turned out to be TATANY52
