Back when pmmp and I decided to cast off all sense of reason and buy a bar in Nana Plaza - we looked at this sign and confirmed that no matter what we did - the place needed a new name and a new sign. Inspiration for the name came from here and also helped to inspire the thesis for the very blog you are reading.
Well, it is that time of the year again folks. 2 years to be precise. Lots has changed from 2 years ago. We are on bar #2, the blog has blossomed and Thaskin is gone. Thailand is not in the best of shape but those of us living here think it will get better but in the meantime we can forgot about all this and get really drunk on Saturday. What has not changed though is that without good customers we would never have made it. So this is our chance to give a little something back.
So pmmp and I would like to invite any and all to the party on Saturday at The Big Mango Bar in Nana Plaza. Happy Hour will be in force all night. There will be free food, some drawings for free schwag and some random shots handed out as needed. We cannot promise any sense of organization past say 10 PM given that last year the place got really out of hand but that is the point is it not? If you can’t make it please leave a comment on this post so we have something to read when we get to nursing our hangovers.
Thanks to all of our customers, blog readers and friends for supporting us! CYA on Saturday!
….”…..ok…haven’t been tfs2m website for 7 and a half minutes now, let’s see if something new has been posted or if there are any new comments to be read”….chronically checkin’ out your website during office hours…..it just makes my days, at my current project, worthwhile……
not having been to the LOS for over a year now……
Good stories, an up to date BKK nightlife overview and pan-cultural-twilight-zone-experiences from all over SE-Asia……very, very entertaining!
Haven’t been to Nana-plaza since my first FOB-Thailand-experience back in 2000 and won’t be there neither this coming weekend to meet and get pissed with the lot of you, BUT….
I will be there in November and you can for sure put one or two Beer Lao cold for me as I will drop by to congratulate you with your 2-year anniversary and for a great Blog!
Be safe,and chokdee for another year of business for you 2.
Andy.

I meant 2 years !!!! Cheers again !!!! Maybe time flies soooo fast that it only seems like one year ? Who knows ? But congrats a second time. Actually I never congratulated you on the first year, so I guess the first post still stands.

RRR - will be cool to meet u.
CO - my deepest regrets for u.
CB - you are too kind and we appreciate your biz but after talking to pmmp I will not be going on a bar crawl with u.
GM - pmmp is photo man. Just give us some dates. We will close the bars and prepare for madness. We will go real deep. Scary - just imagining the possibilities. It will be a new form of FOB. Interesting.

Have a great night & hope to see you all soon. Congratulations on your second anniversary, & I probably would like to be there, but there is a great domino tournament at the local pub tonight, so that takes presedence over a little get together like yours!
Boll**ks, I AM SO JEALOUS
