He's home! Until Tuesday! When it's time to fly another 6,843 miles in about 14 hours to Beijing! Which is only 13 hours ahead of me rather than 14! So that should be ... possibly even more incomprehensible. IDK. FWIW, I'll update the blog clock.
All righty then. I don't know how he does it. I'm exhausted--as I drag myself from my bed to my desk which is a distance of about 12 feet or so depending on whether or not you have to make a detour around the dog--just thinking about the interminable amount of time Johnny spends in airports and airplanes, let alone the part where he actually gets there and then throws on some skates and dazzles people with multiple performances and then meets a thousand or so fans and signs a few million autographs and does endless interviews and rides pandas at a nearby playground and also finds time to shop.
Hurry up and rest so you can do it all again, BB!
In the meantime, we have indeed come to the end of our journey to Japan, lagging somewhat behind Johnny, as usual, so as he plows ahead with his day here in the US, here's a look back via picspam at the rest of Monday's fan meeting: The Man. The Myth. The Seriously Candle-Laden Cake.

Birthday cake!
Back at the fan meeting, everyone has gathered
to celebrate Johnny's birthday!
They sing "Happy Birthday" to him
while the cake is brought into the room,
and then take a thousand pictures of him
while he prepares to blow out the candles.

Post-cake chat.
Here are some of the lovely fans who gathered
to celebrate with Johnny ...
... I love the fan in traditional dress on the far left
who is holding the "No Johnny, No Life" paper fan!
when Johnny arrived in Tokyo.
to explain to me that the slogan is from "Johnny's Secret Garden,"
a small fan club in Japan that also produced a

Mr. Weir will now take your questions.
Bonus video! As a final gasp of joy
before completely succumbing to jetlag and passing out,
The Little BlackBerry That Could
captures this bit of the birthday celebration
as the cake is brought in, fully ablaze,
and Johnny poses for pictures all around. :)
