The Big Easy Down in Sapporo

About 25 minutes from our house is a happy, hidden pocket of Americana known as The Famous Door.  Its a New Orleans style bar and is probably one of our most favorite places in all of Sapporo, if anything, because of the people who work and go there (not to mention, the EXCELLENT music that is a million miles away from anything even remotely resembling J-pop!).

The last night of the celebration coincided perfectly with Jacob's birthday weekend, so his party-theme this year was a bit of a fusion, to say the least:
