Con Rocks Harry's!

[Raoul Duke]

This was Con's goodbye party before he left for his visit back to Canada. Those of us who know and love Con as well as we do were stunned to find out that he has some glimmer of a talent.

First, some background...

Here's Con and Loops enjoying a special moment. I had to explain to the utterly flabbergasted barmaids that the concepts of "gay" and "ugly" are NOT mutually exclusive.


TeePee and Homicidal Cupcake not enjoying anything special at all.


A shot of the group just to indicate what loving, friendly, decent, well-balanced people they really are.


Loops looking confused. Maybe "conflicted" is a better word. (Personally, I would know exactly what to do with Molly, the Barmaid on the left...)


Barkeep summit: Sally and Raoul


Raoul, squeezing the Charmin'.


This is Dolei from the Philippines, who will be throwing up on me approximately one bottle of Smirnoff vodka later. (She really is nice, though...)


Don't panic! It's only rock 'n' roll. (The song we were favored with was Eric Clapton's Cocaine...)


Unsure what to do on the instrumental break, Con spent the time pretending to not be looking up the singer's short, tight skirt.


Get down! Get funky! Haaaaiiiiiiii!


Testify, Brother, Testify!

[Lotus Eater]

Way too much information from both of you - I preferred the fantasy!!

[Raoul Duke]

Hunh?!?

[George61]

Are Con and Loops related??

Take that back, you bastard!

[George61]

Ok...Are Loops and Con related??

[Raoul Duke]

Oh, no, I ain't goin' there...

I mainly came back because I forgot to mention something very important: the boy was purty durn good. This wasn't yer drunk bar howlin...he did a very respectable turn with the song.

My secret: pick a song with predictable lyrics and singable with 6 notes. Get the audience to do the chorus.

[Raoul Duke]

Long as it works! ;D

I should also point out that Harry's is a very cool and comfortable place. Strangely enough I'm not really much of a bar person in the other real world, and Harry's is the only non-virtual bar I go to on any kind of regular basis. The people who work there are all absolutely wonderful!

It's becoming the Official Real-Time Bar of Raoul's China Expat Saloon^TM!

I try not to go too often...trying to conserve money and trying to focus on my books. But it's a pretty good bet you'll find me there on Tuesday nights...huge ice-cold mugs of Tiger draft are 15 RMB for teachers all night long, and the Tex-Mex restaurant next door (which is run by a drunk psychotic erratic madwoman, but the food is good) has fair dinkum tacos for 10 RMB that night. So come on down!

I had that same thought as Jorje when I saw the middle-finger-up-in-the-air picture

[cheekygal]

Oh and at first I read it as "Con rocks Harry". So, I wanted to see that Harry...

[Decurso]

Great pics...Loops is even scarier than I imagined.I'd like to see more of Cupake though.

Ah..I'll make it Suzhou one of these days...

[Missi]

Con do you have any relatives in southern Ontario?

[con's fly is open]

Missi: Not to my knowledge, although my greater clan is pretty huge.

Cheeky: Naw, I'm a lover not a fighter, if that's what you meant. If that's NOT what you meant, the gay jokes are getting out of hand...

The house band has moved on. Hey kids, how's the new band? I left a couple of days before they premiered.
