Then..after loading up..it was about...1 a.m...so the only play we could find to eat was White Castle. XD. So..we went there..and there were a few teenages sitting next to us. Kathy insisted that they join in on singing happy birthday to me.
The girl exclaimed "Well, we can sing it in french!". So..they did! XD. Then it was sung in english..and the kitchen staff joined in too! hah.
Then..Kathy lead them in singing To Health...because its my favorite..and they didn't have time in the set to sing it at the show.

Best birthday EVER. ^___^. Thanks everyone.
