Just in case the photos haven't tipped you off, we were pretty drunk by this point in the night. Right around this point, John put in a song, but they guy that was queuing up the songs accidentally played a different song that the same name twice in a row...and John, one of the nicest guys I know, totally got drunk and shitty with him...
...my friend Jeremy had arrived! I met Jeremy in 1994 at Keystone College in La Plume, PA. (Keystone College was a junior college for fuckups and I went there for two years before I transferred to Syracuse to finish my degree). After leaving Keystone, Jeremy moved to California, got involved with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Art of Living Foundation and after traveling around India as a musician, ended up moving to Bangkok in 2005 to teach at an International School.
We'd lost touch for years, but he somehow stumbled across pictures from my first trip to Thailand and emailed me to know that he was living in Thailand! We caught up via email and I promised that if I ever came back to Thailand, I'd get in touch and we'd get together! And sure enough, we did!
