Fructidor's Fermented Fun-Filled Frolics

[Kimpatsu]

Continuing in a great e-budo tradition, the title of this thread, which is a drinkup proposal, is alliterative. Walter de la Mere must be turning in his grave. :D
Well, Jeff Hamacher, our convivial Canadian, may be gone (has anyone heard from him?), but Saitama Steve Delaney has returned from the land of Guinness, soada bread, whiskey and leprechauns, and Robert Babe-Magnet Rousselot tells me he has a terrible thirst, so I would like to propose another drinkup in the heart of Tokyo. I'm away the weekend of the 15th, so how about Sunday September 21, or 28? Tell me which is better for you, gentlemen.
Let the revelries commence!:toast: :beer: :toast: :beer:

[Steve Delaney]

I'm up for it mate. Just tell me when.

I haven't heard from Jeffy in a long time, I think the beasties got him.

I don't know about the 28th, but I think I can swing the 21st.

[Troll Basher]

Any weekend is good for me.......after 7PM........where?

(I tried to reply to this before but it never came out)

[Steve Delaney]

I have replied to that question in the News From Japan section mate. :)

[Kimpatsu]

Yes, I had the same posting problem, Robert. I think the gremlins got into the server.
Steve: Jeff left for Canada sometime in July, and hasn't been heard from since. We arranged an e-budo event in his honour about a week before he was scheduled to depart, and he never showed up! Then I tried calling his mobile, but it had already been disconnected. He hasn't posted to e-budo since, so no one knows where he is or what he's doing.
21 is fine (Steve: you're welcome to crash at my place), as I have the 22nd off work.
Shall we go with the Hobgoblin in Roppongi? They serve Wytchwood ales, and have better food than the Dubliners.
All in favour?

[Troll Basher]

I vote snobgobblin in Roppongi.......better parking and more skirts

[Steve Delaney]

I won't be able to crash mate, I'm not free on the 22nd. I have classes to teach. Thanks for the invite though.

However, if the worst comes to the worst and I find that I don't have the ability to walk, I will take up your most generous offer. ;)

[Mekugi]

Hmm....partay.....


I wanna come. I have some unfinished business with a dojo up there so lets work on the schedule. Sundays are a lovely bit of business.

When are you coming down to Kanto mate? 27th isn' t it?

[Ade]

Skirt? when's the next bus to Roppongi from Southampton?

And some of us live quite a bit out from Tokyo and have families as well.

But hell, if past experiences are any guide, the party can start early and just as people like me get ready to leave Robert can show up and take our places. Tony of course will amaze everyone by continuing to pace everyone for the entire time we are at the Hobgoblins.

Bonus points to anyone who spots the point of this thread's title. Well, if y'all meet on the 21st, isn't Fructidor over? I though that we'd be into Complem (or is it Vendemaire?) Ah, I forget - one of the two.

Are drop-ins allowed or does one need to be vetted?

Not quite. although Vendémiaire comes next, and the "months" aren't actually calneder months, if anything, we're still in Thermidor. But as the pissup will take place later into September...
Have you never read Germinal? (I love Zola!)

No, normally, anyone can slum it with us, but in your case, we might make an exception... :D

Drinking, wimmin.....duh........keep me posted on dates. Mebbe I can drag my foul body up to Tokyo if I'm not working. The oppurtunity to meet the chaps from E-budo- who could pass that up.

I noticed most of ye are poms but I forgive you...........:beer: :nw:

I am but a worm........

[Kimpatsu]

Where do you live and work (and drink), Jock?

[Steve Delaney]

I'm free on the 28th and 29th and I think Russ (Mekugi) will be in town from Mie so I think that'll be the most convenient. I'll be attending my school's undokai on Saturday, so I'm going to have Monday off. A good chance to recover from a hard night's drinking.

[Kimpatsu]

Fine, then Sunday 28 September it is.
All in favour, say, "What's yours?"
:D :toast:

[Jock Armstrong]

I lurk just outside Nagoya but some fool gave me a vehicle. I usually train it into "shooters" in Sakae when the urge takes me.

[Kimpatsu]

Just to bump the thread:
So, who's coming on 28 September?

[Mekugi]

Jock, who you be (yer name) and what U do (yer MA)? I have a feeling I have seen that name before.....
I live right outside Nagoya myself dontcha know.

28th is good for me. Big S and big T lets make a date of it....

Chubliners good for me- albeit a sausage party 80% of the time.

[Mekugi]

Hey where was that place you could watch a movie 'n stuff, it had a food package in the mix as well...is that still around?

Lemmee Call up Japanzine and see what they have going on...

(Pelican Pete's is a blast down here...real friendly and fun...)

-R

[Kimpatsu]

They show movies (mostly British comedies like Only Fools and Horses, Blackadder, and Father Ted) at the Hobgoblin in Roppongi.
Could we meet there?

[Mekugi]

I can, but I have to have my lady in waiting Steven with me. He gets jealous when I am alone up there.

I don't mind.

[Jock Armstrong]

28th sounds good Tony. Thanks for the crash offer- I think I'll need it. BTW Last time I collapsed after 25 guinness pints- please forgive my weakness........

Russ, we are not far apart at all! I live on the Chita hanto. We have to get together and do the usual training/ drinking. I train in goshinjutsu. My original karate training was Okinawa Goju and Kyokushinkai. I've done a fair bit of jujutsu but never graded. I crosstrained in shukokai [Tani ha Shito Ryu] as a young fella under Alan Murdoch in Melbourne [ my instructor knew him well and recommended I train there- Alan let me train for free for about six months]. Occasionally I go mad and swing a sword around. No grades but I love it!!

PS My keitai is 09018220890 feel free to call.

[Kimpatsu]

Then the 28th it is. Roppongi Hobgoblin, everyone?

[Mekugi]

Knobgoblin.....


Aye!

That's why we have mobile phones, Don...

[Don Roley]

Damn, damn, damn!!!!

I ate lunch at the Wendy's around the corner on the way from one martial arts store to another. You guys weren't there from about 1 were you? I could have introduced you to the cutest girl in the world (my daughter-hands off you perverts!) as well as a guy who has had to use his martial arts for self defense several times. He was in the mood for a Guiness too, but we wanted to find some stuff you can only get in Japan....:(

Possible Jock Armstrong appearance....I am currently in negotiations to bring him up there. I talked with him for about 45 minutes on the phone last night before my battery died. He's totally one of the boys...and wonders if the Hobgoblin has the mighty G on tap? (You thick necked B'Stards you).

[Kimpatsu]

Yes, Guinness, and Hobgoblin bitter (Wychwood Breweries ale), which is very fruity. And Sundays, they do a traditional English roast for 999 yen! Can't be bad!
:toast:

Seeing as how Tokyo prices can be so bloody expensive that sounds like a snip. Roll on the 28th!

I loved Nagoya when I was there last year. The people just seem so much more laid back and mannerly than their Tokyo counterparts. It was so mellow. Russ, do you remember how much we had to drink? I sure don't.

I might be holding a little get-together at the Shamrock(Kichijoji) in November.

There is a reason to celebrate, but first need to verify TJQ schedule as I think the Taikai might be on the weekend when I want to celebreate.

In which case the celebration happens after the Taikai at supper.

Seeya.

[Don Roley]

Hmmm...

I just found this delightful place just a few stops from Tokyo station that has Samual Adams beer, along with a whole lot of goodies that made it a fun day.

Doubt I could ever get a drinking party together just because the place had Sam Adams, but it is nice to know there is a place here that has it.

[Kimpatsu]

Draft or bottled? Nigiro cafe in Kichijoji has bottled Sam Adames, Rolling Rock, Tecate, and other beers from around the world.

Hey what about if I snore? I remember at the last International Budo Seminar that one Argentinian guy wanted to kick me out of my billeted room because my snoring was distrubing everyone.

That was an embarrasment and a half. I've slept through thunderstorms, earthquakes and house parties before. One time when I was a teenager in London, I even slept through an IRA bombing!

Yer goin' ta hafta keel haul me instead boyo. Arrr.

This Sunday no...but perhaps ina few months. Our head instructor is in Tokyo/Roppongi (sp?) now...so I MUST get over there sometime soon. I really dont care about the shamrock part...just the pour, size of the lines used, and a bartender who is humorous.

Ah, Steve, I just got an e-mail from Russ saying he can't make it, either. Robert is still AWOL and no one else ever signed up formally. Therefore, I think we'll have to cancel this week, and go with October. I'll start the thread after tomorrow's deadline has passed.
Note: If there in fact IS anyone else who still wants to make it, please sign in here immediately.
Until next month, gentlemen...

Really sorry about this bruv. :(

Let's make it October then.

This has been the most over-hyped Drink-Up of all time...

it just had to end with a "rain stopped play", one way or another.

Never seen so many Guiness Smileys on one thread before. Don't any of you dink the local varieties of lager any more?
