So i'm busier on the weekends.... so what?

So saturday was a big drunk fun fest... nothing new right?

but sunday, sunday was awesome. Like a week before i got the Tokyo, i got an email asking if i wanted to join in a tatemon festival. what's a tatemon? didn't know, but hell. japanese culture... hoooo! i signed up.

A tatemon is a big ass sled with a triangle lattice of lanterns. And i was part of a crew that drug this thing to the temple by the sea. The thing weighed about a ton and a half. Big mutha fucka. I was sooo much fun. i got to borrow the cool getup that the crews get. they are called happi and they are bright blue with red kanji. and, i got some gloves because i'd be hauling on a rope all night. We dragged the tatemon the temple where the skilled crew (a.k.a. the foreigners, children, and random other college students weren't included) spun the fucker around as fast as they could to get the attention of the gods. THen the crew went into the temple, us included again and participated in a ritual and got sacred sake. Sweet! Sooo much fun, but i was stinky sweaty by the end. started around 8:30 and ended about 11. Great thing is? they do it two nights, and i signed up for both! Woo HOOO!!

so moral of the story? Adam's having waaay too much fun in japan.
