Met Hiroko on the train platform and got to Shinjuku. Rain was unpleasant and my shoe had a crack in the sole, so we stumbled about and finally got on the (or at least 'a') shuttle bus to the Shinjuku Park Hyatt.
Met Jacob and parentals and took a cab to Restaurant Kurosawa. Jacob and I talked about various anime and plotted our assault on Akihabara on Friday.
Met Ed at the restaurant and had a multi-course meal of pork shabu-shabu, boiled chicken ("fighting cock" actually, as Ed pointed out) and various other delicacies.
Had many a good laugh, too. Larry is good-naturedly bitter/caustic in that New York east coast way that reminds me of my family, and he and Jacob had us cracking up all through dinner. The funniest part was probably when we realized that Jacob's bedroom is bigger than the 1400 square foot apartment I'm about to move in to. Gotta love Beverly Hills!
Hopefully the weather will be ok on Friday as we have to get Jacob a region-free DVD player and see what kind of anime vids and GameCube games we can find.
