we were a bit early, also most of the Filipino band were on a visa run, so just one guy on the organ and two lady singers,
the two girls gave a really good performance and a an added bonus were both in time with the music,
Mike and Riza,
Diana and myself,
whilst sitting there this lady brought around one of those dancing novelty toys,
then one of the singers Maricel called over to say hi,
and Bong the musician,
and Angel the other singer called over,
then back on stage for the next number,
Mike's camera went in to sleep mode for a time,
it must have been because Elvis was in the building!
although still early everyone was in party mode, there are mainly Filipinos with their boyfriends in the bar but everyone was made very welcome, we are looking forward to seeing the whole band next week when the visa run is over,
Mike then had a phone call, it was Willie's birthday, so a quick decamp to Margeritavile, it is in the same soi as the gold bank opposite the telephone exchange on Pattaya Tai, just look for the parrot outside,
birthday boy Willie,
the parrot, not easy to miss,
and of course the birthday cake,
Jean was in real party mode,
as we all were, there was plenty of food laid on and of course by now everyone had more than a few drinks,
Willie of course was the center of attention,
but everyone seemed in party mode,

All my old friends! Stan: It was through all those people that I got to know you... and you got to know Mike and Riza.
About 7 years ago, I had a girlfriend, Diaw, who knew some girl who worked next door to Rick's bar... which was also Gene's and Willie's bar at the time.
So first I met Rick, Willie, and Gene. Then, I met Mike and Riza... and Bob whose first restaurant location ever was down the street from Rick's bar. Through Bob, I then met Steve B. Then through Steve, I met you. Then through me, you met Mike and Riza... and now the rest of my old friends too.
Dear Jil, yes it is strange how everybody meets friends, all of the 'old' crowd still go there plus a few new faces, best regards, Stan and Diana.
