We will set up a meeting for 10pm on Saturday night and be out till dawn when the trains start running.
Please list the number of people coming with you + yourself as well.
Also the area of Tokyo where you will be staying or the nearest train station to you hotel.
For the 10PM metting you will need to take the train to Shinjuku station (it's huge, but lots of sexy women
)
Once you get off the train follow everyone else getting off and you will go down in to a long corridor. You will see the track numbers all the way down the corridor next to each of the entrances to the tracks. You will want to go in the direction where they are counting down. Follow signs to the EAST exit also be looking for signs directing you to Kubukicho. When you exit the station you should be coming out of this exit. (see pic below)
I'll be waiting there near the exit. Tall lanky white guy with long hair and glasses. I'll also wear my German military field jacket to stand out a bit more. (lol like a 6' 2" white guy in Japan doesn't stand out)
If you get lost just act lost and somebody will usually come up to help you (as they want to practice their english
) or you can ask people working in the train station where Kabukicho is. (In Japanese: Kabukicho wa doko deska?)

We will be heading to a couple of small hole in the wall heavy metal / rock bars. Plan on about 700-1000 yen a drink. Both bars have a good 1,000 Cd's on the wall and books where you can pick songs. All songs are by request of the customers so have some tunes in mind. Some time during the night we'll take a break and head over to a near by Izakaia where they have to best chicken wings EVER! The trains stop running around midnight and don't start until around 5-5:30 am or so. Plan on being out all night unless you want to take a Taxi back to your hotel.
Any one going that doesn't have my cell number and iPhone e-mail addy already please PM me. I also speak Japanese very well so anyone who is going even if you can't meet up can PM me as well. That way if you get in to any language barrier issues you'll have a translator on tap.
Will add more info later
