red sox in japan

does anyone know if any places downtown are going to be open for the red sox games next week?  they are opening in japan and the games are at 6 am in the morning.  I wouldn't mind grabbing some breakfast and watching the games if anything is going to be open for that.

Why not? This is still going to be largely dependent on thugging the Trickettes out of bed by 6:30 or so, but they're up for it in theory.

Besides, the little one has a major Jones for the choclate chip pancakes. I think I've seen enough photos of you to pick you out of a lineup, so if we're there, I'll tag you.

The kiddo now wants to go, too, because "kids are made for watching TV and eating French toast and cheering for the Red Sox."

And it's not often you can do all three at the same time.

I enjoyed meeting [livejournal.com profile] somertricky and the Trickettes this morning. Were you there, too, [livejournal.com profile] pearlythebunny ?

Yasser told me that they had opened at 5:30 in response to phone calls the day before -- and then nobody showed up! I got there at their normal opening time of 7.

I hope some people were there by 7. I was a little worried yesterday that there might be a line at 7.

However, the kiddo didn't want to get up this morning, and I seem to have caught the illness she had last week, so I was more than happy to go back to bed instead of going out to eat (although I did listen to the game on the car radio driving the kiddo to school).

When I got there at 7, there were maybe ten people in the place. More arrived as the game went on, but it never got the least bit crowded. I felt bad for the owner.

Well, I wouldn't feel too sorry for the owner because I think that place is doing well, but it must have been a drag for him to open at 5:30 and not have any customers.

I wonder how many people dragged themselves over to the Holiday Inn and ate sushi at 5:30 in the morning?

And next time I see you around (and I often do), I'll introduce myself.
