All you lovely people and the rest of you at the back over there.
Hope you find this long awaited mail long enough to make all of you realise that all is well on my end and am still alive, kicking and drinking.
(cue background music)
Well as it is my inevitable endeavour, to meet people, make friends and then have a good bitch as well as discuss current affairs and also stuff that is just simply put as inane, I woke up one morning saying that I just don't do enough of this. Loneliness being my kryptonite, The Gonz had to make a decision and had to do it fast. So about a month ago on a hot summer day as I limped out of Welcare hospital (they could have offered me a wheel chair you know), I said that I had to change the world and save it from utter boredom. People needed to know that beer isn't a bad thing...People needed to experience a bit of Dubai and kinda live their life...It took me two days to come up with that objective line, but by then it was Wednesday and I took it as a sign, that this was the day when all people would know that the Gonz was also BEERMAN....Burrrrrrrrp....
(cut background music)
Well after the dramatics and all that background music, this is what we did and what we do. I and a few of us are on a mission to discover Dubai, discover things that people wouldn't have known, or some people just don't want to know. Discovery could be in a place, in a person, in conversation, in music, in interiors, in exteriors, in food, in drink, in a fart...but I tell you there is discovery...Since there was only one word that could define all the above mentioned, I call it Discover a Bar ...
clapclapclapclapclap... Thank You (bowing to the standing ovation). We do it every Wednesday, and trust me people are really look forward to it. It's the one place and one thing, where people get to be who they are, wear what they want, talk what they like and laugh like you just don't care...
So going back a few weeks, I was joined by Sangeet at the Belgian beer bar and cafe at the Crowne plaza at festival city. Joined later by my cousin Domnic and his room mate the fountain of knowledge and wikipedia master (Rajesh) Shetty. Sitting outside watching the dhows go by under the Business Bay, I said we had to do it again and so we ended up there again the following week, the same crowd with the addition of Royston and Yulrika (Sangeet still thinks she Brazilian...hahahahhaha). Royston ended up having one beer too many, and he is quite a sight with all the faces that he makes. The following week we ended up at the Seaman's Club. Yulrika didn't turn up because someone told her acting was her thing, so she was ended up standing in front of a mirror at home trying to be a Spanish. But Roy as there and so were the rest of the gang, and Augustine, the man with the membership at the Club. the following week we were at Somerset at the Movenpick hotel. We had a few new faces this time. My friend Amit, who is on holiday was present, Cyril and Leon came to the party, Roy (who could only have one beer because he couldn't lift his head because of a stiff neck...seriously
), Sangeet, and myself...
And now we come to today...in case you didn't realise, it's WEDNESDAY....woooohooooo... So here is a publicly personal invite and a recap to all of you to come and join us this evening and be a part of "Discover a Bar Nights". My dream here is to be able to able to swing enough of a crowd so that people realise that we who wear shorts, who have hairy legs and hate wearing shoes while sipping beers still warrant to be able to walk into any hotel, bar or restaurant and have our credit cards accepted for business (it really simple and logical, but then again this is Dubai, where logic is as rare as Gold Flake cigarettes). That way we will ensure that no one gets turned away, and that maybe down the line we could all be entitled to free beers one day...I want to be the most powerful beer-drinking man, Dubai has ever seen. I have a dream.....
Anyways...after my devious plan to take over the world of Dubai, here is what is happening and this is the most important paragraph of this mail. so pay good attention to detail here...Tonight the plan is to go to the Millennium Airport Hotel and walk into either Cactus Jack (recommended to me because of good drink offers, music and a DJ) or Biggles (read in Time Out Dubai that its reasonably priced and pub grub is good and it features flying memorabilia from World War II). So come one, come all, bring your wife or bring your partner, or bring both. Get the husband, get that hot chick you fancy, get the guy next door, your boss, your subordinate, your colleague, or that hot chick you fancy (being subtle is not my forte), your brother, your sister, your folks, parents, or that hot chick you fancy (yes...again...). Get just about anybody who enjoys beer, conversation and lots of laughs. Well we plan to get there by around 9 - 9:30 pm. There aren't going to be any reservations. Just walk in by your drink and enjoy the night...Will see you guys there.
Till then have an aweosme day people.
Cheers
Ryan a.ka. Mr G a.k.a the Gonz a.k.a Kabira a.k.a the future most powerful beer-drinking man in Dubai
PS - Bring cash and come...and spread the word...
