Maggie's Saturday Night/Bad Boy Billy/Qiqihar
Maggie's was insanely mobbed Saturday night. I walked in about 1:30 after being at a party, and it was absolutely wall-to-wall. Looked like some college civilians trying to show how clever they are by having an event there. Whatever. It was still the first time I've seen 20 people in line at coat check. Maggie's staff said it was the busiest they had ever seen it, and considering the new place is bigger than the previous premises, that's significant. Anyway, I molested my hostess friend Wendy for a while, then left alone when she got off work.
Billy--I will likely be away then. Great meeting you the other night, I didn't see who you left with. Feel free to send a review and photos.
Qiqihar--we're Zula blood brothers. Welcome back. Many of the regulars remain and there is much new talent. If you were there 2000-2004 then we must have met.
Problems in ascending order - you mei you wenti?
[QUOTE=Sammy_T]I would love to ... hear more details. [/QUOTE]That’s no problem. Can you already post what in particular you like to hear more about? Would be stupid to meet up if all I can tell you will be “Err, urm … dunno either.”
[QUOTE=Sammy_T]... and buy you a beer.[/QUOTE]Very minor problem. I drink no alcohol. But feel free to drink for two yourself.
[QUOTE=Sammy_T]Any chance you can make it to the pig before you leave on Friday?[/QUOTE]Now that’s more of a problem. I got no clue where The Pig is. A short google search told me we got the year of the pig soon (Doh! No shit!) and not much else.
Sounds like a bar of the Pig & Whistles chain. But I am not too much into bars, so my guess could be wrong. Is it at the Lido, i.e. at the expressway to the Airport? In that case, forget about it – I will pass by that place once on Sunday when I leave. I can wave in your general direction if you insist, but that’s about it already.
Btw, the thing about leaving on Friday – I only wrote that because I am too stupid to handle a calendar. I actually leave on Sunday. And next week I learn how to count higher than 10 with my socks on.
[QUOTE=Sammy_T]I can make it Wednesday or Thursday. Just post a day and a time and I will meet you.[/QUOTE]Tricky – tomorrow Thursday maybe works out best, but there is always the chance it does not and I dislike standing people up.
All I could offer is to meet up somewhere near the Lufthansa Centre sometime late in the day. I will have to be in that area before I leave anyways, so I as well make it tomorrow. It is the closest I will get to the Lido.
So what I suggest: if it’s convenient for you let’s say Thursday about 18:30 (give and take) in the Lobby of the Kempinski. Just be so kind and tell me how to recognize you so I can rat you out to the Gong An in advance. :P
And as mentioned above be so kind to post here a bit what you like to know more about.
