Chico's Bar チコーズバー　　　

Just announced - The Aussie Rules Grand Final will be on LIVE at Chico's Saturday, September 30th, if you haven't seen the game yet, or you are a diehard, or you just like seeing someone get hurt, come on down for the day's festivities.

If you didn't know, we are offering the cheapest happy hour around, a special each night worth coming for, and two, sometimes three events a month...September and October promise to be good then the snow falls and things become even better! See ya soon. Also, check out this month's Hot Pepper - beat Snatchy in a rock-paper-scissors and you could save a few bucks!

some more bingo night pics...coming soon 70s party on September 2nd - just gonna be funky tunes, style, and an optional houdai special if you are inclined. Golf is filling up fast, only 7 or 8 spots left for the tourny.

Wow, Bingo night at Chico's went beyond our imaginations - a packed, rowdy house had the tension at a high-level as prizes were dished out to more than a few lucky souls. A complimentary tequila started the night off for all and from there, whether it was an X, a box, 4 corners, and finally, the end of the night Black-out for the i-pod, there were a lot of laughs and a few nervous moments as it came down to the wire. Many thanks to Esprit Mouton (the excellent restaurant down the road from Chico's which, by the way, isn't French) for the extra prizes. Bottles of tequila, posters, fireworks and candy, T-shirts, lunch tickets, drink tickets and more went to lucky winners and, in the end, a walk-in from off the street (Nanako) took home the grand prize in a rock-paper-scissors play-off as we had three bingos at the same time for the i-pod. A disappointed but good-sported Ashley was the runner-up and had to drown her sorrows with the runner-up bottle. Great calls by Chico who was rather hoarse the next day, and most of all thanks to all of you who came out and made the event a success. Until next time - winter bingo, we may even give away a car.

First, we had the beer gardens on the street - big thanks go to the Chico's staff including Liora, Yumi, Tsumugi, Snooch, and Chico for putting in the hours and making it all a go. It was our first big festival and we had some good nights with the neighboring shops. Fireworks, dogs, and booze, what else did we need? Maybe a pinata? Next year.

Then, 6/8ths of the Krew showed up for Yukata night and the San-Roku festival. Big thanks to Lana and Duncan for their part-time help and Huge barks go out to Dogg for lugging the Corona's (20 at a time) down in to the festival, the dedication to the cause was awe-inspiring. Call him Jaysee Rip, Chico Gonzalez or Dirty Sanchez, he survived the 10 days of festivals, the last night was tough as he couldn't seem to get drunk, but he did distribute 16 bottles of tequila shots to a fired-up San-Roku crowd. Until next year, tequila! Next up, BINGO, 70s, GOLF, and more...still ready?

Starting tomorrow night with the fireworks, yukata night as well as the last day of the street beer garden, Chico's will be going full steam ahead for the next three nights. Come to Chico's tomorrow (Thursday, August 3) and if you are wearing a Yukata, the first one is on us!

All weekend long we'll have the patio going, drinks on ice outside, the dogs broiling,....hope to catch you this weekend. Oh ya, look for the sombrero and some guy running around with a holster of tequila and sprite, giving out tequila poppers all over the place. Who is that guy? It is the man himself, Chico Gonzalez. Search him out and you won't be disappointed.

Just a shout-out to all of those who have and haven't been to the Garden...it is going off between 6jo and 7jo streets, JC, Yumi, Tsumugi, Snoochies, and Liora are all making the party go...come and check it out!
