Last night’s dinner at the Flower Restaurant was definitely one of our favorite events so far. The food – almost all of which was either entirely made of or included flowers – was delicious, and the bill for our group of 20+ people was just under 100 bucks, but the best part was the company. Chris and Ben have a very interesting circle of friends here – each of whom has quite a story to tell.

After dinner, we strolled over to the set of a movie with a working title of Kingdom of Silence. The movie stars Christopher Walken, I think. Our friend Joe Cummings plays a drug dealer in one scene, and even has a line – “This shit will make you fl-y-y-y.”

We’ll be leaving for Pai in about an hour. Coincidentally, Joe and the members of a Colorado band whose name escapes me at the moment are also travelling to Pai today. We confirmed last night that our friend Eric is indeed there. We hope to give him quite a surprise.
