Hola amigos,

We'd like to first of all, say thankyou to all of you for a great summer season, from our anniversary to the Summer Festivals to the Huge Bingo Night last weekend, we've had a blast! And, this goes for the entire time that Chico's has been open, it has been a ride, sometimes a roller-coaster but with many more ups than downs. And, like a roller coaster, all good times come to an end...yes, Chico's Asahikawa will be finishing up on Saturday, September 29, 2007 as the two of us (Jess and Dale) have decided to concentrate on different things. It's time to move on, cowboys...

Personally, we'd like to say thanks to all of our staff who have pushed the events, served many a cocktail and cleaned many a glass among other things, we couldn't have done this without you, let's have some this last six weeks. You guys rock!!

Most of all though we'd like to thank our customers, thanks for coming out to all the events and parties, and spreading the word of Chico Gonzalez. Also, all the people who helped us make events - DJs, friends, family, police....thanks for all of your support. Again, come by (except the police) so we can have a few more Coronas with you before we wrap it all up.

But before we finish things up, we'd like to announce our final 6 weeks (Last Call) at Chico's. Believe me, we ain't lying down quietly, get ready to just blow the roof off as we count the days down:

August 31 - September 1: Fighters Weekend. The Nippon Ham FIghters are in town and expect to see Trey Hillman in the house, maybe some players as well? Parties and giveaways the night before and after the games.

September 8 - Chico's Charity Golf Tournament - deadline is August 24. This year will be a special one, numbers are going up, and the trophy can be yours - 6000yen includes golf, prizes, charity donation and more.

September 15-17 - Long Weekend Madness I - expect DJs, Sunday patio open, and specials on food and drink, more TBA on this one.

September 22-24 - Long Weekend Madness II - 2nd last weekend - we'll be open Sunday, come and have a final Corona on the koen. More TBA

September 27-29 - Last Call and Liquid-ation Party - this is it, lock your daughters in the house, everything must GO! Leading up to the final party - T-shirts, BoozKrew vids, limited stickers, and of course, booze must go...get ready for this.

September 29 - Last Call - DJ, Nomihoudai, Bingo, and more....tickets will be on sale soon and a huge announcement as some special guests will be attending this one....

Oh, yeah, and one last thing - 300yen tequila shots from now until the final countdown!! Anytime, anyday!! Also, the last of our T-shirts are going for 1000yen!! Stay tuned for the future of Chico's, you may be surprised by where it ends up in one form or the other!!

THANK YOU ASAHIKAWA!!

A HUGE thank you to all our Amigos for coming out for our 1 Year Anniversary Bash last Saturday night!
It's been a hell of a year and we were stoked to be able to thank you all in person - what a blast! The party had it all, a packed house spilling out all over the streets outside, awesome beats pumping for hours, lots and lots of booz, fireworks, champagne, a couple of visits from Asahikawa's finest, more booz....
I don't really recall what was said on the mic, so I take this chance to thank all you guys out there for keeping us going for these past 12 months. Also, none of it would have ever been possible without the efforts of our amazing staff - Snooch, Ash, Yuki, Tai, Erica, Kaori, and help from so many other people.
Thanks to DJs JJ, ATTU and Krew for spinning sweet beats all night long.
Looking forward to a great summer and we have loads of great events planned. Be sure to check back here from time to time to see what's coming up, or go straight to the Chico's website for lots more info.
Can't wait to see ya'll again real soon. Muchos gracias!

Thanks to everybody who came out for The Japan Cancer Society benefit night last Saturday. It was such a great night, beginning with steaks on the bbq, and proceeding to get wilder and wilder with help from DJ Chunky C and Krew from Sapporo spinning the beats and keeping the house bumpin'!
Special thanks go to Kevin Keith for producing the whole event and making it a success.
Also, special thanks to all the companies who donated prizes for the silent auction, also a raging success: The Niseko Company, Black Diamond Lodge in Higashiyama, Niseko, TK6 cafe & bar in Sapporo, Phred at Ezo Beer, and of course, Matt Keith of the Portland Pirates (Anaheim Ducks) Hockey Association for the signed Jersey!

PHAT AIR SUCCESS!!

2007-03-27T11:23:00.000+09:00

Wow, what a weekend...Friday night was rockin at Chico's as everyone was getting pumped for the big day. Then, Saturday the skies cleared giving us one of the best days ever. The always dependable jump-building team of Kaname, Yoshi,Yuya, and Red had been working on the jump park for 2 weeks and after a bit of a clean-up, we were ready to go. A group of 25-30 showed up and displayed some huge airs, crashes, even a couple of backflips were thrown out there. The event was held in dedication to Chico aka Jess Ripper as he had to tough it out at home for this year's event. Everyone threw it a bit harder knowing Chico would've been cranking out some nasty tricks, or crashes at least! The B-B-Q, tunes, and cave kept everyone rockin throughout the day and the 2007 Phat Air was a huge success, thanks to all who showed up, helped out, then partied until the early mornin'!! Also, thanks to DJ JJ and krew for the sweet tunes and to Shoji from Dohoku Shinkou for the 9000yen donation for the jan-ken comp. Here are a few of the results of the comp, along with some photos.

Phattest Air - Chris 'Snoochies' Hatch, flew through his first few jumps - he was flyyyyyyyyyyying!!
Best trick - Tanner - 720s and backflips - unreal!
Best crash - Yuya, as always given 'er and payin for it! Ash was a close second here!
Best injury - Kris "Hollywood", "KAS", "Heif", Keith - black eye gained sympathy and made the BoozKrew rookie look even tougher.
Best lady - Jasmine and Ash goin harder than most of the dudes!
Most drunk (at the event) - Flanno, partyin and rippin it all weekend.
Most drunk (at the party) - Jan and Red, Fuji makes u wanna party!
Best rookie - Jack, made it to the event after a couple of years of tryin to get there.
Best support - Red, Amelia, Gabby, Keala, Mark, and everyone who showed up!!
Thanks to everyone, if we forgot someone, sorry. See ya next year!!

Chico is back!! Party on Saturday!! PHAT AIR SOON!

Chico breaks leg in snowboarding accident

2007-02-18T10:32:00.000+09:00

Some tough news from the Chico's wire - Jess has ended up in hospital
with a broken leg (femur). Just got off of the phone with him and he
is doing OK, just some pain and a bit of bitterness as he'll be out of
commission on the hill for the rest of the year. Also, he may be in
the hospital for a little while - the Shindo or SHinro hospital 3rd
floor on about 4 jo 18 chome in Asahikawa. He'll need an operation on
his leg early next week. Attempting a 360, he wrapped his leg around
a tree. Thanks go to Todd, Mark, and a few others for helping him
out.

That being said, Jess says he'll be back, stronger than ever and hopes
that instead of sending flowers and shit, you go to the bar and buy a
drink!

Reev, Yumi, the rest of the Boozkrew, Snatchy, Liora, and Ashley plan to keep the
bar rockin and hope we can still pull off the annual Mid-winter beach
party (a Boarders tradition) next Saturday as well as the HAJET
Welcome Party the following Friday. The new menu is out as well, Jess
just finished printing it last night - cheers to Red for the work.

Get well soon Chico,

Leave a message on here for Chico!

Chico's Bingo Nite #2!

2007-01-12T15:58:00.000+09:00

It's been a great start to the New Year in Chicos! Last Friday saw DJ Masa and Co. rockin' the house with their non-stop rock/punk/hardcore mix. It was great music and everyone was having a blast!

What a week of snow we've had too! It just hasn't let-up and doesn't look like stopping for a while...!

Here's a heads-up as to what's coming up this weekend at Chico's.

Friday, January 12th: Friday Nite Lucky Draw. The jackpot is at 8000yen for someone to take. You must be in the bar at the time of the draw to claim the cash if your number is drawn.

2007-01-03T20:00:00.000+09:00

Happy New Year to all the Chico's Amigos out there...!
Chico and his buddies rang in 2007 in style - lots of (if a little too much for some) booz flowed freely, champagne bottles popped and fireworks exploded as the new year came upon us on a clear, cold night.
We'd like to thank all the people who have contributed in large or even the smallest of ways to help Chico's become a reality over the past 6 months, and we look forward to an awesome 2007, and being able to bring you all and share endless good times together.
Here's to a bumper year! Jajajajajajajaja!!!!!!!!

You need no reminding that it's THAT time of year again - and with all the end-of-year parties, second parties and third parties going on, not to mention Christmas and New Year celebrations to come, it's enough to well and truly wear you out, but all in a good way!

Here's what you can look forward to at Chico's over the next few weeks....

Saturday, December 16th: Chico's 1st Christmas Party - Christmas music, Reev's famous egg nog, good times, a 3 hour nomihoudai, and maybe even an appearance from Santa himself...

2000yen in advance / 2500yen at the door.
Party starts at 9pm.

Sunday, December 24th: Christmas Drinks - Chico's wll be OPEN on Christmas Eve for people looking for a few warming Chrissy drinks with some good friends or that special someone...
All drinks will be at our Happy Hour prices all night long!

Sunday, December 31st: 2007 Countdown Party - Ring in the New Year in style with Chico and his amigos. Booz will flow, tunes will blare, fireworks will explode, resolutions will be made.
2000yen at the door gets you a nomihoudai from 9pm until 2007.
After midnight, all drinks at Happy Hour prices!

Be sure to keep an eye out in this month's Hot Pepper and Asatan for a couple of great discount coupons you can use at Chico's over this party season.

Also, remember that every Friday night at 11pm is the Friday Nite Lucky Draw .
Get your own lucky number card at Chico's, be in the bar at the time of the draw, and if your number is drawn, you take the jackpot!
As it was won again last week (the second time in the past month!), the jackpot resets back to 5000yen this Friday, and will increase by 1000yen each week it goes uptouched.
Lucky Haruki walked away with 7000yen last Friday just for sitting in the bar and having a drink - so easy!

So much going on, and loads more to come over the winter!

All of us at Chico's wish all of our amigo's a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and a safe holiday season! Thank you all for a fantastic second half of 2006 since we opened our doors, and we look forward to many more great times with you all in 2007!

Another Friday Nite winner!

2006-12-10T18:34:00.000+09:00

Can you believe it...? The Friday Nite Lucky Draw has gone off again, for the second time in a month!
Last time it was Shiro who took home 11000yen, and last Friday it was lucky Haruki who made sure to be in the house at 11 o'clock when the number was drawn. He walked away with a handy 7000yen! Not bad just for turning up...
So once again, Chico resets the jackpot back to 5000yen and it will continue to increase by 1000yen each week until it goes off again.
So if you don't already have your Chico's Friday Nite Lucky Draw number card , be sure to grab one the next time you're visiting.
And remember, you have to be in the bar at the time of the draw to be eligible to win (if your number is drawn that is...).

More 'Good Times In A Bottle' pics.

2006-12-04T12:09:00.000+09:00

Here's a few more pics as the night wore on...
The movie played, the booz flowed and the anticipation steadily built as the draw for a Kamui Season Pass grew closer. In the end, there could only be one winner, lucky Naoko will ride for free this season, much to the disappointment of a few faces. But booz continues to flow strong and soon all thoughts of what could've been were washed away in the warmth of the booz and good times!
Meantime, the snow just won't stop dumping here in Asahikawa. It came a little late, but after a few days on non-stop snowfall, endless shovelling from doorsteps and cars and ridiculously deep turns on a few of the open hills, it's suddenly like mid-winter up here, and Chico and the rest of the Krew are stoked!

Good Time In A Bottle Premiere pics

2006-12-04T10:10:00.000+09:00

A few tech. problems have delayed the posting of these pics, but better late than never. The BoozKrew were there in full, and lots of people came out to check-out the fruits of Reev's hours and hours spent in the editing room. Huge applause must go to that dude for taking production to another level and once again producing an awesome visual documentation of the lives and times of the BK.

The table is imported from Italy via Canada. Soon to come - foosball league, tournaments, and a chance to be the champion of the table.

Let's get it on!

2006-11-28T17:33:00.000+09:00

First screening is at 10 o'clock.

Friday Night - 10,000yen!! Saturday Night - free drinks for talent!!

2006-11-08T22:50:00.000+09:00

This year's edition of the Car Danchi series showcases some fantastic riding in some of the most unbelievable conditions and terrain all over Hokkaido, and Northern Honshu too, as well as documenting the great life these guys lead throughout the long winters up here.
Huge thanks go to Neil Hartmann for putting together such an amazing film, bringing such a cool crew of riders into the house and for supplying the night with loads of giveaways from Burton, Volcom, Blueblood & Spacecraft.
A bonus of the night was a sneak preview of this years BoozKrew movie, produced by Reev. The trailer is called SNIFTER and will be playing all thoughout October and November in Chico's for all to see in the lead-up to the world premier of the BoozKrew's lastest movie (title being finalised) at Chico's on November 25th.

1st Annual Chico's Chili Cook-Off

2006-10-03T18:03:00.000+09:00

Thanks to all those who came down to check out our first ever Chico's Chili Cook-Off last Saturday evening. Special thanks must go to the chefs - Min, Gabby, Dan, Reev in Niseko and Chico himself, for dishing up some tasty pots of good chili, some with a little more kick than some of the others.

A good hour or two of warm-up booz got everyone's tastebuds ready for the start of the tastings, and over the next hour, bowl upon bowl of each chili were emptied by all.

It was a good mix from the chefs, with each creation offering something different in their tastes, textures and levels of intensity.

However in the end, after the votes had been cast, Mr Chico Gonzalez took the title with his concoction of spicy, meaty goodness!

So Chico's is the place to be to fill your stomach as well as quench your thirst it seems. Next time you stop-by, be sure to try one of our tasty hot dogs, or a chili dog for something special!

Chico's Charity Invitational - More pics.

2006-09-21T13:51:00.000+09:00

Here's a few extra shots from the day... Unfortunately not a lot of the post-tournament party was caught on film, which is probably a good thing because there was so much booz flowing that it could've damaged the camera. Be there next year and you'll know what I mean...

1st Annual Chico's Charity Invitational results.

2006-09-21T11:47:00.000+09:00

Well it's all over for this year ~ The 1st Annual Chico's Charity Invitational, supporting the Kayokoma Youth Group (KYG), established by the NABUUR charity in Nairobi, Kenya.
An amazing warm autumn day greeted the players at Sunagawa Oasis Golf Club and after 18 holes, a few shots from the bottle of Cuevo Gold which kept showing up at random tees and greens, a few thrown clubs and more than a few cuss words, the results were as follows:

Champion Team - shooting 69 - Dale 'Reev' Riva (3rd year in a row and keeping the trophy in the house), Peter 'The Mad Scientist' Osbourne & Keala 'Hawaiian Punch' Fujimori.
2nd Place - shooting 71 - John Simon, Chris Lane, Logan & Neil ' Fearless' Edwards.
3rd Place - shooting 71 - Nate 'Dogg' Petkewich, Russ Lefko, Geoff Carr & Chris 'Snoochies' Hatch.
4th Place - shooting 73 - Kev 'Meef' Keith, Jamie ' Dirty Sanchez' Rumble, Hideki Nishio & Jess 'Gonz' Ripper.
5th Place and Most Honest Team - shooting 78 - Reid 'Red' McCord, Mark 'Bricktop' Weston & Jackie.

Other prizes:
Longest Drive - Hideki on #9 (270yds) & Reev on #17
Closest to the Pin - Logan on #3 & Keala on #11
Shortest Drive - Pete (how did Ripper lose this one??)
Best Costume - Hideki (intentional?) & Chris.
Longest Putt - Jackie.

A special thanks must go out to all the great prizes donated by the following companies;
- Chico's
- West Canada Homes
- The Niseko Company
- Eagle Range Golf Center
- Xebio Sports Kitami

Not to be forgotten, the cause of all this chaos was to support the KYG, and with donations from all the players, and of course Dogg's 50/50 draw and Meef's charity rounds of shooters in the bar, we managed to raise over 25,000 yen for our friends in Kenya!

An awesome day out, if you missed it this year, make sure you jump aboard and support a good cause with us again in September '07.

2006-08-22T20:16:00.000+09:00

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.

10 days of festivals...thanks to all who got involved!

2006-08-10T17:50:00.000+09:00

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?

Chico's presents San-Roku festival!

2006-08-02T20:51:00.000+09:00

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.

the Beer Garden is going off!!
