Ganja Acid

Wandering around Osaka. Three Americans and a Japanese guide/friend. Lots of 'street beers' and looking for trouble. Normally a busy area, tonight the streets were empty. Turn a corner and see a sign for a place called "Ganja Acid". Pretty sure it was a bar, but weren't positive. We didn't have anything else to do. Took a chance. Walked in to a cramped and dark, smokey room. Instantly greeted by excited female bartender. None of us wanted to order first. Man sitting at the bar ordered our first round and paid the 'table charge' for all of us. Few minutes later very tall skinny Japanese man walks in dressed in a fuzzy monster costume with a long tail. Bar erupts in happy cries of, "Monster!" The four of us were extremely confused. Monster was giving out free hugs. One of the American's took a hug and said the monster was quite fuzzy. No one else in our group took a hug. The "Monster" sat against a wall with his drink and just watched everyone. The path to the back of the bar went right next to the "Monster" and everyone was tripping on his tail. Female bartender flirting with two of us Americans heavily. Took a little while to notice, but female bartender was changing her outfits throughout the couple hours that we were there; nurse, schoolgirl, mechanic and so on. Japanese man that resembled Jerry Garcia, one of the few that spoke pretty good English. Our Japanese friend was hitting on the other two girls in the bar. One of them was married to Japanese Jerry Garcia. The other sitting across the bar from me. He told her I thought she was cute, without me asking him to. The rest of the night he kept giving me pointers on how to hit on her. She spoke no English and I no Japanese. Female bartender talking to a few of us. Our Japanese friend started grabbing her boobs. All she did was kind of push him away and giggle. Entire back room of bar was lined with black light posters. One of us Americans tried to follow female bartender into 'employee room.' Female bartender passed out at the bar in the middle of flirting with me. Other bartender woke her up and it seemed that everything started feeling weird. We left and laughed all the way back to the hostel.
