I like boobs.

that is all.

Seems Fitting

Just trying to get this info out to as many people as possible as quickly as possible.

Short notice, not my fault, but Rachael's last Vancouver bru-ha is happening tonight at 8pm at her place on 8th. The apartment is hollow, so feel free to bring folding chairs or cushions.

Rachael's B-day

Hosting a B-Day Party tomorrow at my house for myself. Just bring booze and your good selves.

Jeff is asking The Clubhouse...

Jeff is asking for recommendations on cell phone deals.
He has no phone and no service.

Come September, Jeff has to get hooked up quick for work and fun. Shopping for such things gives Jeff headaches.


Jeff asks: any tips?

the clubhouse blogspot is dead. long live the clubhouse blogspot!

bean said miyuki had to make a facebook entry for chineefoo. miyuki doesn't do squat on facebook.

that means I ultimately had to join that fucking trend-factory myself to post something, since it's obvious no one uses this anymore...

on the plus side, at least I can limit the invitations to clubhouse regulars, and not all eight thousand people corinne has met through the years...

keep an eye out for a chineefoo group.

also, chinefoo next sunday (july 29) at peking restuarant. call it noonish for now, possibly an hour earlier, maybe an hour later... depends on who whines louder.

oh, and I wasn't aware that "facebook" was the new "fascist" and they wouldn't change my name freely... hence I'm stuck with "el chingacabra"... fuckers.

Lost Phone

My phone went missing at the library last night. I will check to see if it's been returned. Email me if you get a mysterious phone call from me please.

In communicado,

R

Writing Club is NOT on!

I'm out in Pitt this week. Unless any of you feel like travelling three hours for an hour long writing club, I am cancelling this week. It will be back on in two weeks.

Back from Burma...

And still not dead.

But I did just walk over the Bridge on the River Kwai. And you can bet I whistled that silly song while I did it.

Corporate Dragon Boat Team is Short FIVE THREE PEOPLE

Hey guys, I seriously need five two MORE people to commit to dragon boating (three if Lee & Mariko make the leap over the fence).

My work is short 12 people, but between the group of us, have managed to compile 7 10 (thanks Mariko, Lee, Mike, Graeme & Brendan). No, I don't need to get all of them for the company, but I think I can do my best. Some of you aren't on facebook, so I didn't get a chance to invite you there.

We're practicing 3 times in 5 weeks time before enterting the Alcan Dragon Boat Festival's competition (pfffft). This will all wrap up after the festival on June 16th.

Please, please, please join. Without you there will be no team. And that will make me very sad.

Practices will be evenings & weekends; ideally, you can commit to any time so as to create as few scheduling conflicts as possible, but I am sure some shifting will have to occur.

Pretty please?

(begging is so not becoming of me).

New fun!

Yesterday I went dragon boating with my work. It was as much fun as I expected (I really do enjoy being on the water) and it looks like my company is putting together a corporate team for the Alcan Dragon Boat Festival. I asked to join, let's see if they let me.

You kids know me, I am a wimp and a half! But my team came in second and for first timers, our team was at the upper novice, lower recreational team times. It was wicked awesome totally cool fun.


And now, to the point: Dragon Zone, for the month of May, on Sundays has $2 lessons at 2pm (all equipment included!). I'm going to leave Chinee foo at 1pm on the dot to make sure I can get into this. I'm going to try to make it out every weekend (it's a great deal compared to the season rates they charge), and if there is enough interest from Clubhousers, we might be able to even get a recreational team going. How awesome* would that be!?

So, I'm getting to Chinee Foo at 11:45am and ordering the tofu, the green onion cakes, & mushroom fried rice. Anyone interested in dragon boating on Sunday with me is more than welcome to come. If you can't make it this weekend, and you're interested in going later this month, give me a holla'! I'm also going to set up a Clubhouse series of events on facebook.


*unrealistic.

Writing Club is On - Sorry for the late post

Umm... just to be on the safe side...

OK, I couldn't quite mention this on my own blog, but I need some serious radio silence for the next few weeks. I've got to go off the grid for some fieldwork (hint: I'm posing as a missionary!). Please don't email me or comment (on my blog) about anything even vaguely connected to my work, or Thailand, or Burma, or buttsex, or my foolishness for doing this crazy shit in the first place, or anything other than pleasant wishes and the weather. Facebook commenting is likewise out. Otherwise, I'll be deported, and fired, and possibly (much) worse.

And to those with a particularly contrarian sense of humour, this is not one of those times where ignoring my plea will make it extra funny. Seriously, just don't.

P.S. This blog is probably a safe place to say whatever. Christian, I'm hoping you'll get it out of your system here.

Something Happening

Prior to Chinee Foo on Sunday May 6, 2007, the Jolly Rodger will host a rough* and tumble* Cinco de Mayo.

Byob and all smoking of all things will take place in the back alley. Tap on the window or ring buzzer 103.

8pm until everyone is sick and tired of each other (or Chinee Foo happens).

And WHY do we have four tags for alcohol consumption on here?!

anything happening?

we're planning a trip north in the next few weeks... I thought we had plans for drinko de mayo, but it turns out we probably don't. so which of the next three weekends would be best to head north? what's the most exciting thing happening?

Fine. I'll Cross-Post.

Hey, unhip kids, want to see a movie? Sure you do. Do you want to see Coupland's script on film? Sure you do.

Everything's Going Green
2:30pm Matinee, Sunday. Tinseltown. Be early. Buy tickets. Watch movie. Don't bring anything electronic because the fuzz think you, the paying movie attendee, is the reason that the movie industry is making tens of billions, as opposed to hundreds of billions, of dollars. Which is their prime concern, you know? I am bitter. But I'll get over it. By going to a movie.

And being treated like a criminal.

If you want more info, join facebook like the rest of civilization.

Karaoke Fundraiser

Lee's very cool friend Tammy is having a Karaoke fundraiser this Saturday for a documentary film she is working. Details are below the poster.



Where: 'The Met' 320 Abbot St. (Gastown)
When: Saturday, March 21st, 2007
9pm 'til your voice is gone!

Cheap drinks, no cover, a good cause! Look for the person with the big jar!

The documentary is about the non-profit organization 'agentsofchange.ca.' They are bicycling from Vancouver to Mexico to raise a $1,000,000 for microcredit initiatives. Microcredit is the concept that won Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank of Bangladesh the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize.

Come see us make fools of ourselves! For more information about the documentary contact me directly, all the information for the event is on the flyer attached, feel free to share it!

Cheers,
Tammy Bannister
