To welcome in the spring, and the beginning of the school spring break, I decided to host another cocktail party, after the success of the other. Fortunately, it was another success, and a lot of fun. Various people couldn't make it because of vacations, holidays, graduation ceremonies and allsorts, but various new people made it round this time. Tiffany from Saitama who I visited a little while before even managed to make the party, meet a few Yamagatians and see a bit of the Yamagata countryside too!
The usual formula of Japanese canned cocktail drinks and buffet food, with a bit of singing and playing the piano from myself remained. Some people made some absolutely delicious food (special thanks to Monica for making delicious fresh Spring Rolls, and to Monique for making a delicious ham quiche style thing - really delicious!!)
The highlight of the night - a new addition to the previous gathering, was the first ever (most likely) International art exhibition in Nanyo City! Held right inside my little house! The room that was previously the poker room, became the art gallery room - and it turned out great in the end! Lots of people contributed with aesthetically nice looking art, to strangely surreal art, to poignantly conceptual art. Following on from that, we had some performance art and some poetry performance too! (and I complain that Yamagata has very little culture in it!?)
At the stroke of midnight, the party coincided with my good friend Brigid's birthday, so I dedicated an improv song for her and some people prepared a little cake for her! Good times were had by all I'm sure!
