wrapping up the musical

We had our last two shows on Sado island and in Niigata city. For both we had a great turnout and we reached our fundraising goal and then some and made $13000. Members of the cast and crew are now packing for their two week trip to Papua New Guinea. I feel slightly lost now that my weekends are completely open. We have been meeting every second weekend since the beginning of October and there are quite a few people who I will not see very often now. Oh well more time for spring snowboarding! The day we took the ferry to Sado the waves were pretty choppy and we had a ton of fun on the careening deck.

We made many attempts to take jumping shots but with the deck crashing up and down and happy trigger fingers we took many more photos of the take off!



almost...

success!


Unfortunately on the downswing of one of our jumps the boat hit a wave and the deck rose and we all ended up on our knees. My battle wound!

Naomi and I decided to take a late night walk after consuming a few chu-hai and wandered the rice paddies.


This last Friday was Naomi's birthday and we went to an amazingly delicious sushi restaurant. I caused the sushi chef a bit of trouble due to my dislike of strange textures - octopus, squid, and mushy like sea-creatures sea slugs etc.


They made a sushi style roll cake for Naomi and even put sparklers on it. It was delish and incredibly filling!


Next day was the last performance in Niigata city where we received our "royal blue" musical t-shirts. It was a great performance and a fitting way to go out!

After we had a St. Patty's Party and Troy shaved his head for charity. What you can't see is the rat tail in the back!


The day after we went to sakenojin where you can drink unlimited sake for 15 dollars. I was pretty exhausted at this point but many others continued filling their cups.

Naomi and I with rice bread man!
