The Friday event was the meeting of mainly ASFO members at Santos restaurant on Soi-4 (Soi-Nana), which was a few doors from Nana Plaza. Friday was buffet night. Damn, I can't recall the name of the restaurant [i think it started with a "W"], though I was at those meetings many times; it also there that was the one and only time I've ever gotten food poisoning in Thailand. Santos also owned the popular "Titty Twister" bar in Nana Plaza as well as a small place across from the restaurant where roomed. Santos was later busted...and may still be in jail, for scamming many people into buying shares of his ventures. The meeting usually had about a dozen guys: Sarasin, Harry Seaman, Long Gun, myself ('rookie'), and faces I can still 'see' but cannot recall their names. It was often after meeting (and on other nights) we livened up Nana Plaza, entertaining the gals with luminescent balls & bracelets, fake dog shit, vibrators, magic tricks, etc. Sarasin was the of master entertainment and I think knew every gal in the Plaza.
