Luang Probang Pi Mai

4/11/2011
-slept in in my huge fancy bed and took a shower that was both hot and cold, crazy.
-Although Pi Mai (Lunar New Year) wasn't supposed to start for four more days, got sprayed with water on my way to the crepe spot for breakfast.
-chilled out with colin and clay at the guest house, and walked around for a bit.
-worked on my playlist for Utopia
-Beer (Bia) the guest house owner's son was trying to figure out a DJ program he had just installed, i helped him play with it for a bit and he gave it to me on a flash drive so i could put it on my computer.
-ate dinner riverside again, then headed to Utopia to see about DJing there
-went to bed early.

-spent most of the day working on the playlist and figuring out the DJ software, after morning crepes.
-dumped some music onto Beer's hard drive
-went with clay and colin to eat some Lao Barbecue, were joined by a strange french programmer, then we all went down to Utopia, where i was supposed to DJ.
-when we arrived,  Rob said he had found two acoustic guitarists who were scheduled to play, so i wouldn't be DJing.
-Beer showed up with some freinds, told him the story and he suggested we go to this other, local bar. Which was great, better then DJing, we bought a case of beer Lao, and these two ladies stood around in bright yellow skirt suits refilling our glass everytime we finished (the standard beer glass is very small, and they drink it with ice, so this was a neverending job).
-the bar was centered around eight Petanque (french Bocce ball) courts, so after a few beers we rented a court and played an intense game of petanque, it was Beer's younger brother, the french guy and me, vs. three of Beer's freinds. needless to say, we lost.
-took a tuk tuk back to the guest house. the whole time Beer and his freinds followed very close on their motorbikes, Colin successfully tossed a lighter from the back of the Tuk Tuk right into the basket on Beer's bike, they were that close.
