My friend was in Aoyama-Itchome, quite close to my home. So I went to have dinner with him. We walked over to Roppongi from his spot and at first tried to hit a Gyu-Kaku Yakiniku restaurant. By the time we arrived, the place had a waiting time of over 40 minutes. I was like, "No way am I going to wait that long!" So we skipped on that and instead turned towards Outback Steakhouse.

As we were being seated, I saw a HUGE black dude with a guy I recognized from the Roppongi Tipness gym. At first, I didn't know who this guy was, thinking it was just another foreigner. Later, the guy got really loud and I tried to discern what he was saying. My friend said, "That's Bob Sapp."

I was like, "What?!?!?!"

Later, after he finished eating, he went and shook everyone's hands in the place and took pictures with the girls. He even came up to our seats and greeted us very politely. I was quite impressed both with his size and his friendly demeanor. Even if he was loud, he was obviously having fun and enjoying himself. Really nice person just randomly meeting people at the restaurant.

That's quite an unexpected night. Well, I'm glad Gyu-Kaku was full because we never would've met up with Bob Sapp. Definitely a turn of events for the day!]]> Mon, 22 Sep 2008 11:11:46 -0600 http://www.keithwatanabe.net/blogs/2008/9/22/c5af05f16114684452416a597cc00078.html
