I did get there last night about 8:45pm but left at 9:30 -- sorry I missed you all! Had a beer and tried to talk to an isolated girl sitting there looking glum, but she didn't speak English -- at least not to me. Wish I was young again!
It's hugely convenient having Mike's photo behind the bar, even if they don't know Mike's last name, they knew that "Mike-san" hadn't been there when I pointed to the photo!
Am at the PHT until Tuesday, but actually have to work on Thurs/Fri/Monday and will take an improv class on Thurs night.
