Photos from @thediyguy’s Halloween Party!

in #steemcityniigata7 years ago (edited)

Actually there were 4 or 5 Steemians present at this event, making it a first for the Steem City, Niigata, Japan!

@thediyguy put on an epic Halloween party for the students of his English language school. I played guitar and sang for the event.

The kids had a blast, and @kaliju came over from Korea to join the fun as well!

We had a great after party at our friend’s little retro hotel hideout. I had a little too much fun, perhaps. At least, that’s what my pounding head is telling me.

The kids had a blast. This is the type of community I need in my life.

@kafkanarchy84 dude you are SO talented, not sure if you know just how much awesomeness you put out that day. I had NO idea that all those amazing songs your were singing were all original. Mind blown after @thediyguy was like “did you know it was all Graham's...?“ That duet with your wife on the drums in the hotel afterparty? I'm not even going to say anything. That was purity, man. I just landed a few hours ago and had to do some catching up with @hannju because I had so much energy to share after our brief time at #steemcityniigata that was insane. Thank you for everything man, will always remember your noblety. And lol @ documenting the ashtrays 😂 Hope to see you guys soon again. 1⃣!

Glad to hear it man! It was really good to meet you, and regarding talent, I could say the same. Mad bars, my friend! ;)

Really hope to meet up again soon.

Great fun! We had our Halloween Party out here in Kochi, Shikoku too. I was the sole Steemian though - I gotta get the other teachers on it

Always good to meet a fellow expat! Would love to visit Shikoku someday. Hope the party was a blast! よろしく!
