Just cuz I like your posts, and your avatar is as easy on my eyes as your posts in my brain, here's a couple:

Itaewon this weekend!

(WAIT!!! DON'T HURL YET!!!)

Unbeknownst to me, 2 events are coinciding perfectly for this:

1. Itaewon Global Village Festival 2004!!!
http://www.itaewon.go.kr/english/event/schedule.asp

This works out well for Friday and/or Saturday. But, Friday night, I would highly, HIGHLY recommend . . . .

2. The Slave Auction Party!!!

Sorry - I have no idea who will be on the blocks, except it ain't me this time around.

While in the area, you could always consider a trip to Chez Vous, as well:

Best of luck to you, & let me know if I win!

Regards,

Glen Wink

ADDENDUM: Catch the Fireworks Show, with some fellow posters???

* Shows on the main stage at Arirang Public Parking Lot (18:00-22:00)

Where is that? The foreigner talent show could be funny.

next to the Itaewon Crown Hotel.

I don't know what the prize is, but I think Beaver may be onto something. Maybe we could stop by his restaurant first!

Wash them hands, though . . . I imagine that sauce to be spaisssyy! Twisted Evil

(edit: these last parts made much more sense BEFORE Beaver went & edited his post. Still might like that one - Christina too!)
