Japan 2025 - Stevens Wedding Night

rewind to after lunch and we're looking at 5 hrs of downtime. I think most of us were really looking foward to a nap due to bad jetlag getting a few hrs of sleep a night for the last 10 days and our early call time and 2 hr+ journey. But our Kominka ended up being the meeting place and people kept coming over so we kept having to hang out with people and we never got that nap. The big bottle of sake got drank and all the snacks eaten and comradery had.

by the time Steven's aunt and mom came over we were like noooooooo no nap is going to happen today.

it haunts his dreams even til today.

that's not very nice stevers

fill in your own joke. The truth is he's showing them a Rochester Garbage plate, and they're like oh noooo no no you mustn't eat that.

 

karaoke time. we eventually got it set up and working in the cafe building. It took steven and miki an hr of negotiation earlier that afternoon for them to allow it because this all is happening in a little town where a lot of the walls are not so thick. They even had them test the mic system while staff members stood in the street and had to admit that yea its slightly audible but probably fine if you're in your own house.

the pink pony club.

as people dropped off it eventually ended up a bro sesh with just the bros and eventually with bro speeches to steven about how we love him which i guess you can't ask for a better night ender than that.

another bob nest. this is in the connecting outdoor "hallway" that opens up to a garden and is weird and everyone thought it was weird and japanese people were like why are you sleeping there bobby but he insisted and he just can't be normal.
