My 25th birthday in Japan..afte a hard night in the Shinjiku bar district in Tokyo...Tork, Charlie MacJilton, and I took a train up into the Saitama Prefecture near Fuji...we stoed at some mountain enclave and set up camp by a little river coming down off the pass. There was a store up by the station and Tork went up bought me a 4ft tall bottle of saki....Charlie Mac was a teetotaler...so it was just Tork and I drinking...I had a nice little fire going and we warmed the saki by it....beautiful night?, stars by the billions..as the nigt progress we tried our damnest to drink the whole bottle....Charlie had left somrwhere in disgust...last I remember was scaling the farside cliff...stumbling into the river..then falling in the fire! Next morrning I woke up naked in a corer of a hut cradling a little ppuppy for warmth.to shoren...got dressed..caught the train to Tokyo...we still had some saki left so I thought I might make it without insanity.....well, we were standing by the door of the train and coming up to a sto when I felt something poke my bare ass in the hole in my jeans..I turned, and there was this little 100yr old grandmother pointing her finger and giggling with her 90 friend...I wrote a longer short story about this that was published in New York young writers expo magazine!!!! But that was my 255th bday....
