Tim's What's On List : "Yaargh, His Name is Handsome Pete, He Dances for Nickles!"

I'll admit, I've been a little inconsistent the last month. I was involved
in a minor monkey knife fight and have been nursing my wounds. Will do
better in the future and stay away from the little buggers, I promise.

Be sure to check out the pirate party this weekend and wear your finest
ARRRRmani suit. Ah that was horrible. I give up on jokes. But seriously,
dress up as a pirate, drink grog, meet fun people, be merry, and don't walk
the plank.

Cheers,

-Tim

*Featured Events:*

*PIRATE PARTY (PART DEUX)

*Ahoy! Come sail the seas of the mighty Mekong! Don your eye patches, hooks,
peg legs, and Johnny Depp style eye makeup for the best Pirate Partyto
sail from Phnom Penh.

The Mekong Flower will be commandeered for the night under the new name of
the Jolly Roger. Think rum, rum, and more rum, grog, treasure chests, Walk
