Off to my Conference in Kobe!

Gotta love the two-day work weeks! Well, ok, I'm not actually getting off that easily. Monday was a national holiday (Youth Day, actually) and I have a conference in Kobe tomorrow and Friday. The weekend was more low-key, as predicted. Karaoke with Tam and her guests on Friday (Amy Winehouse is finally on the menu!), Osaka Saturday night, great indian food, finally met up with Kristin's friend from college in Osaka for a spot of shopping and just hanging out...

This week (yes, all two days) has been BUSY, but I'm running again (Marathon is in less than two months!) and feeling good. Doing a little birthday din with friends in Kobe tomorrow and hosting a huge charity event at 3 bars in Kobe on Friday (9 hours of All You Can Drink, 3 bars and all for one cause... wish us luck!). Hoping for a few hundred people and to raise a lot of money. It's my first BIG event, so I'm a little nervous, but with flyers in hand and a will to get out there and party... we're ready!

More soon... heading out of town!
