I went to a birthday celebration/get-together yesterday afternoon-evening at a friends house. It was lots of fun and a reasonable sized gathering. The people there were pretty much family and Kendo folk, and all familiar with the exception of one person who used to do Kendo but injured their shoulder and couldn't do Kendo any more.
We started off with PS2 and Tekkan, and then progressed to Taiko Master, and then onto Wii with Guitar Hero III and Guitar Hero World Tour. Besides that, we started also some basic Mahjong (because lots of people didn't know how to play it so we taught basic game play with no particular style of play nor point scoring play), and there was also some miscellaneous games of cards.
Food wise, it was a Vietnamese style dinner, where we had grilled pork meatballs, a new dish to me of prawn mash wrapped on sugarcane and grilled, and then an assortment of Vietnamese chicken salad and lettuce wrapping/rice paper spring roll wraps that you made yourself.
There was a lot of chat, bit of fun here and there, and what not. His place had a massage chair which was awesome and worked very nicely on my sore shoulderblade and side from training, and also a treadmill that we played with (to burn off the meal we had of course LOL). Then at the end while things were winding down, we had some de-alcoholised shiraz, which was quite nice.
So, all in all, a fun evening in the company of friends.
