Bruce Has A New Name!!!

Tonight we had dinner with the Sgolombis family at China Inn 2 (see Bruce's blog). Like our first visit there a couple of weeks ago, there were some celebrations going on in the not-so-private, private room (everyone can see what's going on inside). Last time was a Vietnamese wedding (with not that good Vietnamese karaoke'ing) and tonight, there was a Black wedding. No karaoke but lots of electric dancing and black-line-dancing. Ok, that's my own term :) But yeah... Chinese food, hip hop tunes... just like back home hahaha!

Halfway through, a lady from the wedding comes out and 'delivers' some wedding favors. Yup, for us! Baggies of Hershey chocolate kisses and mints. Awww, how sweet and... odd lol. But thank you! That might have been Ayanna's (Julie's youngest 9 yr old daughter) highlight of the entire evening :)

So there we were, enjoying the good food. Bruce was in the midst of telling his haircut story in Japan... comes along this MC Hammer and his wife. OK, not really MC Hammer and his wife but a look-alike... a black couple. The man stops Bruce and says "hey man, excuse me man but I gotta' give it to you. Those glasses man, dey ah da' bomb man! I have like 650 pairs of glasses at home but you are... I gotta' call you Elton John man!!!" He continues to walk away a little, turns around and almost kow tows and bellows "BOOYAH TO YOU MAN!!" The wife follows behind and echoes quietly how cool Bruce's bamboo glasses are.

You can well imagine the whole table's reaction. :) Never a dull moment with my very very white husband and how he attracts attention and people whom we sit next to at shows and concerts... and he thought it was weird when my best friend back home greeted him with "W'dup homeboy!!" climbing into the car. I think 'booyah to you man' has topped the record, Elton baby.
