Lot&#39;s more to check out, next time!<br />Chris, it was a good event. We all got home in one piece and my eyes are ok (well, as good/bad as they were before hand, anyway).<br />Win win!<br />Hoping it&#39;ll be held there again, next time round.<br />DH, shame on you for not being there! Tsk tsk!<br />Just because you live in another prefecture...<br />^-^<br />Hope you get to taste the bakayaro.<br />Maybe if you ask nicely, Chris can try and save some for you - it is his baby, after all!Chuwyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04006837084544398438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140086519412905407.post-9258078195284359592009-12-20T20:37:58.799+09:002009-12-20T20:37:58.799+09:00Oh, and Red, it was nice meeting you there as well!Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15507921500209880847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140086519412905407.post-36774861913888927582009-12-20T20:37:15.988+09:002009-12-20T20:37:15.988+09:00The story here is, BAKAYARO! makes people stupid when they drink more than 3 :)Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15507921500209880847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140086519412905407.post-15373271319269300882009-12-20T10:30:30.940+09:002009-12-20T10:30:30.940+09:00Red, some day I&#39;ll take you up on your offer. In the meantime, I&#39;ll keep a seat warm for you at Taproom in Numazu -- welcome any time!Chris Poelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14628366771723683521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140086519412905407.post-33736087838259906172009-12-20T08:21:02.520+09:002009-12-20T08:21:02.520+09:00The night certainly livened up my 3-day trip to Japan. I go back to Oregon today (Sun), but will be back often in 2010 -- need to go to Numazu sometime.<br /><br />Should any of you find yourselves in Portland, Oregon, let me know -- can&#39;t guarantee any fights, but can certainly scrounge up some good beer.Redhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06932637690052114054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140086519412905407.post-70293188545355135432009-12-19T12:32:14.331+09:002009-12-19T12:32:14.331+09:00It was mad. Not very packed house but we made up for it in drinking and noise! Also action!<br />I spent a fair while reluctantly helping a friend out with this wrestling moves. Must have gone through the whole book, last night!<br />Later on, he tried to &#39;practice&#39; with another guy, a guy he had been attempting to &#39;practice&#39; with earlier that evening. I think you saw that brief attempt at a &#39;practice session&#39;, Chris.<br />Well, the first time, this guy didn&#39;t seem to want to &#39;practice&#39; and was even confused as to why the other guy wanted to &#39;practice&#39; with him. Then, later on (Chris had left) he was up for some &#39;practice&#39; and it seemed like the two were going to &#39;practice&#39;.<br />However, I thought my friend had had more than enough &#39;practicing&#39; for one night and with the bar staff and one or two others, we &#39;gently guided&#39; him away. He seemed cool then.<br />Nice bit of action to liven up the night. I think a cup or glass or something got broken in the confusion and tables were lifted but no one was hurt and we all carried on drinking afterward.<br />The evenings wrestling was a little bit of stress for me but I&#39;ve been there before. Doubtless, I&#39;ll be there again, soon.<br />At least my eye was fine, waking up this morning.<br />My back isn&#39;t. Had to sprint 400m from Aldgate to JUST catch the last train to within one station of mine. Drank way too much,last night. I tried to take it easy but what can I do - people kept buying me drinks!<br />Chris, good to see you and good to sample some Bakayaro again. Pity it&#39;s not in bottles. I may prefer last year&#39;s slightly but I can&#39;t remember.<br />This one was very nice. Had 3 or 4 myself, as well as 3 surugas and a few others, including the inaka.<br />I didn&#39;t like the inaka I had at the taproom but the one last night was much creamier and less bitter/burnt roast in the back of the throat. I think I may have had a weird pint in nakameguro or I was feeling weird at the time. It happens. Others have had that beer at Nakameguro and loved it. I need to try again! Good excuse!<br />Red, good to finally meet you too, dude. Sorry we couldn&#39;t chat more. Even when we did, I was all over the place and like a rabbit in the headlights. A lot was going on that evening and I think I&#39;m still confused. <br />DH, you would have enjoyed.Chuwyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04006837084544398438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140086519412905407.post-65140642848235535042009-12-19T09:25:11.943+09:002009-12-19T09:25:11.943+09:00Was there more shit going on after I left? Damn, I hope not or the plan of making a yearly event of the BakaYaro! release will be gone. (And not blaming Chuwy at all for anything that happened while I was there -- he was a victim of circumstances!<br /><br />Red, nice meeting you -- and sorry we didn&#39;t get a chance to talk more. <br /><br />DH -- you really missed something worth attending!Chris Poelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14628366771723683521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140086519412905407.post-23478657397188793892009-12-19T07:41:56.301+09:002009-12-19T07:41:56.301+09:00Wrestlin?
