Ichigaya

For once I actually checked the schedule, and saw that Niina-gosoke's practice in Nihonbashi was cancelled, but that he would be in Ichigaya. I checked the map and hopped on the Mightier Steed, figuring I'd take my regular route to Iidabashi, but then just turn left at Yasukuni Shrine instead of right, head towards Ichigaya Station, and magically find practice. Of course I drove around the one-way back streets for 20 minutes, using the maps on my cell phone to figure out it must be the elementary school behind the park. As I drove by I spied Niina-gosoke through the window of the gym, so I parked and found my way in.
Practice was quite packed, so I and Sekido-san ended up on the stage at the front of the gym. I doubt anyone was watching us; they were too busy trying their best under the watchful eye of Niina-gosoke, but still it's no fun to literally be up on stage.
After practice we went down the street to the station and grabbed some dinner, taking over some little izakaya that was obviously used to us. Kubota-san had his one beer, turned bright red, started slurring, and stumbled off to catch his last train. The rest of us ate and drank and I finally headed home around 11.
