After approval of Astro-E2, this was our first interface meeting (and Science Working Group meeting), in Japan. Naturally we were forced (forced, I tell you) to sample the local customs and cuisine. All for the benefit of international goodwill and understanding.
Multi-course dinner |
Midori-san, instigator of dinner |
Many people in a small room |
"About this big, and furry." |
Caroline hates paparazzi. |
The storytelling continues |
Someone is amused |
Not sure what's happening here |
Abunai! Abunai! |
And Kevinstein |
Another night, another dinner |
And beer, of course |
Oscar pulls Hirabayashi-san's leg. Again. |
Mitsuda-san and Fujimoto-san |
Rich and Mitsuda-san |
Dan McCammon sings |
ROOOOOOOOOX-ANNE! |
