Bk Pissup June 2009

[bkkjames]

Ok all, June is fast approaching so time for another get together.

Unlike past events, this time let's get some opinions from a few members on places to have it - bearing in mind the demographics of our members - young to old, good looking and not, dumb and smart. I qualify for 3 of those, up to you to decide which best describes you.

With this information in hand, fire away with your suggestions. For ease of the majority, I recommend the venue be in the CBD area of Bangkok - close to public transport. Timing of event to be say 7:30 pm onwards.

For a date, how about June 19?

Unfortunately I cannot attend as I live in Samui however may I respectfully suggest the Black Swan on Sukhumvit, underneath Asoke BTS exit (opposite side to MRT).

Has both an upstairs area and the main bar downstairs, good size, great food and run by a very genial Yorskshire owner (Dave) and his lovely Thai wife!

Angel Witch - you have me confused with a sound man.

As for your second point, any suggestions now that you are legal?

[babuhavas]

Duly noted, depending on everyone's thoughts on dates - obviously we have some flex. The 12th being an alternative.

[thithi]

me me me cake piss up at Novotel Lotus on suk after noon! lol

Thithi, that's not gonna happen I am afraid, but, I could probably arrange for you to jump out of a cake during our P-Up for all members to delight in.

Who knows, might improve participation numbers. With you on the menu, no doubt some people would come twice. (bad boy Jamesy)

Back on topic, I liked that place on 22 a few Piss-ups ago, I think we should aim for something along that style?

[bonobo]

if its before 15 june,i am on....

got to fly hk on 16th

And I fly out on the 15th for 10 days.

How about this then, if we change it to the 12th, you will show up then? I don't mind be flexible but I do mind wasting my time dam_n it

TV Bangkok Un-Authorised Piss-Up # 3 - Risky Business

June 12th, 2009

Time 7:30 onwards

Venue: TBC

[Crossy]

The way things are on this project in India I'm not likely to make it either

But on the subject of venue, the Crossbar is worth a look. Reasonable size, convenient for BTS, MRT and with local parking (for those of us who have to travel). Also close to Soi C. for those who require afters

No doubt Mr Toad and Sound Man will vote for this option because of two or three of the points listed.

[binnsy]

I would like to throw in THE PENALTY SPOT as a venue Black Swan is OK but he can be on a downer on the odd day or 2

[bkkjames]

Thus far I have recommendations for Pub Style places including:

Black Swan

The Cross Bar

Penalty Spot

Any others to the list? Nightclubs, lounges, restaurants?

Guessing once we get say 10 options, we can poll it to find a majority concensus.

[Moonrakers]

If it's on a Friday in the crossbar then count me in, cos' I'll likely be there anyway.

you are what we refer to in the marketing business as a 'captive audience'

[bonobo]

I don't know enough about any places to make a suggestion.  But it would be nice if it was a place where we could actually talk to each other without shouting directly into each other's ears.

SLim RCA

**** it has come to my attention that during the last P-Up at the Huntsmen that a few of the members were unhappy about the thinness of females in the group. No, I don't mean their weights - just their quantities.

So a request if I may.

Feel free to bring along a guest of feminine ilk. Preferably a good looking one. You know the type...the kind that we can all wink at when you are not looking.

Perhaps a few of TV's Mrs MODus maximus' can join us. Afterall, what's better than getting yelled at in person by your favorite Red or Blue coloured member.

I won't be able to make it since I am working in Baku in June but will check out what Crossbow has to offer.

[thithi]

[AlexLah]

How about Toxic at Soi 18?

Specially for James.........

[bkkjames]

don't sit next to the speaker next time.

reminds me of the guy with the broken finger when asked "Does it hurt?" He replied, "only when I point"

[thithi]

haha

no seriously, i went for cake at landmark one night, sitting in the restaurant above the huntsman ... i still heard those chipmunk singing!

Crossbar for me , has draught beer , Tiger , Heineken , Guinness and Chang , Shot drinks priced as other bars , and lower that some ,

Large bar ,, Brian the owner can reserve tables for you and lay on some snacks if you need , ( dont tell him i said that though )

5 min walk from Asoke BTS

Website thecrossbarbangkok.com for location map etc,,

Would think that most BM would enjoy the Crossbar ,,

The Bull's Head, a short walk from Phrom Phong BTS in Soi 33/1

and IIRC it has an upstairs that can be booked as a whole to keep the good guys separated from the rabble (Lighthouse Club use it).

[AlexLah]

That Crossbar indeed looks like a place where old farts come together
