So, any of the Tokyo crew up for dinner on May 23? It’s likely to be my favourite spot, Yakinikuen in Azabu-Juban, with a trip afterwards to 08:30 (a live house in Hiro-o). I know, I know, you’re all really surprised that I would choose those particular venues.

So, whaddya think? Up for a night for old time’s sake **Sublight**? And **TokyoPlayer** , here’s a chance to collect on that drink I promised you last time!

Wow, one reply. That’s not so good! And regrets from **Sublight** off the board. ☹

Hmmm… maybe my strategy of posting in the middle of the day for Tokyoites was not the best…

I’d like to be there but I’m halfway around the world. It was fun last time.

There must be something about May 23 rd :(. I have been asked to lunches in Perth and Melbourne on the same date. Tokyo would have been a nice option though.

Well, many of the non-SDMB folks that were there last time are going to be there again. Attractive young women! Eligible bachelors! Great food, followed by great music!!

I doubt whether attractive young women would worry about me in my dotage 🙂

Have committed to Perth- unless I win lotto tonight.

Wow, that sounds like it would beat the hell out of our little pub stop in TO where the crazed panhandler scared me. Wish I could be there!!

Well gold lotto didn’t come through. Looks like Perth. I would love to see pictures from Tokyo however.

Make you a deal: come back to visit again, and we’ll make sure it’s less “little,” not a pub stop and there are no crazy\* panhandlers!
