LNY VII: How Many Queers Can You Fit Into A Japanese Restaurant

Do you know the answer to the question above? Well, the answer is 14 (16 even if I include the other two queers at the table behind us), if you exclude SK. LOL. For the first time, I organized a BFF birthday party for SK. She's always present at BFF gatherings, kinda like a permanent fixture, and yet it took three years for this to happen. I'm such a bad DEAR. Hehe. The initial plan was for a small, intimate gathering of friends and Dears, but in the end, the turnout was quite good! Nihon-Kai didn't make good their promise on giving us a room, so we ended up on a LONG table in the common area. For the comfort of their other guests, it would have been wise to give us a room. Hehe. Since they did not, they got to enjoy our fabulous-ness up close and personal. LifeBook was the earliest to arrive. He deserves an award befitting such a good gor! The rest slowly trickled in and by 8:00pm, most had arrived. The event was graced by KH & I, Janvier & The Chief, Bunny (he wore a muscle-T that showed off his physique and armpits quite well, XD), Apollo and Ken (the first time I'd seen his other half in years), LifeBook, The Jaylex Foundation (Dear3 and Dear4 respectively), Takashi, CK, DanielH and last but not least Froggie (Dear7).

KH and I came in matching shirts (not pulling a Bear and Salmon, k!) that SK and I had spotted at Philosophy Men. I liked LifeBook's comment that the shirts "were different, but the same". Mine was striped, KH's was checkered, but of a matching colour scheme. :D. However, KH and Apollo came in the exact same cropped pants. Talk about hitting the jackpot. Hehe. The food was quick to arrive, cheap and nice. Along the way, lots of chatting, sampat, camwhoring and such. The usual. SK had a great time taking pics with Alex. He was more accomodating on that night. Must be because it was her birthday. Normally he would make a sad, forced face. However, he even let her grab his pecs this time. :P. There's hope for Brian yet! LifeBook was so sweet, treating SK to dinner and buying her a sashimi moriawase as her 'birthday cake'! After the gift-opening session, we moved to the Pappa Rich nearby. SK bought everyone a round of drinks and even fed Bunny supper! More chattering and camwhoring and we finally called it a night. Most of us retired to our beds, while some went on to MP to check out the "fresh veggies" there. A good party indeed!
