Unofficial Thai Visa Meet Up - 20th February 2009

[bkkjames]

It's been a few months and now I thought might be a good idea to think about getting out for drink together. Before pushing ahead with this, just would like to get some consensus on general interest levels.

cheers

[soundman]

Depending on dates I up for a Bkk piss-up.

[saorsa]

i might be able to make it...i arrive back on friday and will be around for about 3 weeks before i go back offshore

[bkkjames]

Why don't we aim for the 20th, avoiding the last Friday of the month traffic mayhem. Or does this conflict with some members financial situation?

Once we decide on the date, then we will start searching around for which lucky establishment will have our esteemed business - and the right to say they hosted an unofficial TV P-UP.

As there has been very limited feedback thus far, let's give it till Monday to see where things shape up / or not, before deciding where / when to proceed.

That would be a "premiere" for me...

20th sounds all right,

Keep us posted and thanks for the initiative!

[bkkjames]

That's 4 so far. I think we need to get it up 15-20 to make it interesting. BTW, one fine establishment has already contacted me regarding possibly hosting it.

Come on people, just because we are in a recession, doesn't mean we can't drink.

[theoldgit]

Ok, will try to attend and the 20th is fine with me.

This will be my first with my new name.

[lazygourmet]

Crisis!?! What crisis?!?

Anyway, in case of "cris-tal" (crisis total), isn't it the best times to open some bottles of "Crystal"?

P.S.: Roederer, of course...

[bkkjames]

Ok running total thus far is as follows:

me

lazychef

theoldgit

Soundman

Saorsa

[soundman]

Well, to save all the confusion from the meet-up last year at Gullivers, lets pick a specific date and venue before the end of this page.

Eg. Friday 20th at such and such venue from 7.30pm onwards.

Once we have done that, getting an on-going sign-up list is easy.

The Marketing Director from the Huntsmen - a TV member, pm me and offered his venue and stuff like 2-1 on drinks and food until 9pm.

Now, I don't want to decide for everyone, maybe Soundman can figure out how to do a poll or something?

P.S.: Roederer, of course...

Well at least you got the Roederer part correct.

"Cristal" not "Crystal"....

[midasthailand]

James I'm up for that. The Huntsmen, is that the bar under the Landmark hotel?

[thithi]

sorry guys ...don't think i will go out till my birthday which is on Wednesday.

yeh jamies - u just got the RED card.

[bkkjames]

Confirmed...

Not Thithi cause she won't go out until Wednesday for her Birthday. I always thought Friday came after Wednesday but I don't have the same calendar as Thithi I guess.

Anyways.

The Huntsman which is in the Landmark. Any other thoughts?

"Cristal" not "Crystal"....

Apologizes, mistake (partly) due to a "Leo" breakfast...

[saorsa]

i dont care where it is, i just like drinking

[bkkjames]

i dont care where it is, i just like drinking

This is the right attitude for TV members IMO.

[theoldgit]

The Huntsman is good for me.

[bkkjames]

The Huntsman is good for me.

Ok, so I will ask soundman or some other upstanding Mod to please change the title of this thread to reflect this.

Something like.

Piss On the Recession Piss-up Feb 20 - 7pm, Huntsmen Pub or something that rolls off the tongue easier.

[polecat]

I hope Soundman will drink in moderation. Moderation? Geddit?

eh?

Oh, suit yourself.

I'm not coming, because I've actually already seen bkkjames and it ain't pretty:

[soundman]

Is the "Huntsman" actually inside the Landmark or just in the vicinity?

[bkkjames]

Is the "Huntsman" actually inside the Landmark or just in the vicinity?

Yes, in the basement level.

PC, if my dog was that ugly I would shave it's ass and teach it to walk backwards.

[soundman]

Yes, in the basement level.

Sounds good to me, however, maybe a lttle more info. for those who are not familiar with that area of Bkk.

Entertainment? Drink prices? Ambience? All good to go? Map for those who might feel like coming but don't know where the Landmark is?

Thanx James.

[raro]

i dont care where it is, i just like drinking

...not only that if I remember well...

[thithi]
