Of course Tsuchiya-san, Sato-san and Andrew Cook (who has been left with red eyes for the purposes of realism) spent most of the evening torturing me with names that I couldn't remember. Some of the names were known to me, but there were quite a few that I couldn't recall at all - the name might ring a tiny bell in some distant room in my head, but there was no portrait on the wall.
We met at 7pm and finished up at Priya (an Indian restaraunt in Hiroo), I think, around 10pm. We had a good conversation but it felt rather short as the time just flew by.
