sufu seoul meet up 2009?!!!

[Ahlvahroe]

im pissed about teh thursday thing, i have to be at work, but i do not have any actual work, the kids are in midterms so us english teachers only have to teach 4 classes all week, and zero on thursday, so i am gonna be missing this for absolutely no reason. fucking school

[dismalfuture]

yeah, Seoul Sufu meetup '09, for a good cause. ALvahroe, we're sorry you have to miss it. We'll tip a margarita for the fallen homies.

You guys who are coming, come out of Shinchon exit #4, headed towards Edae, walk straight up that sidewalk about 100-150m til you see the Coffee Bean on the left (next to the big Samsung cell phone showroom) and I'll be out front at 7 or a little before. More the merrier, we gonna get drunk. Then go hit baseballs all fucked up, you get to see my homerun steez, I'm like Carlton Fisk in game 6.

[ken shinoda]

damn just got here from a 11pm flight, reach here around 6am and meeting up till 6pm.

anyways, went to the uni place with a bunch of people from work. and went to the ho bar or somethin... theres a converse store there although its closed. might check it out if its decent enough.

[mrchariybrown]

I hope there's a seoul sufu meetup '09 pt. II sometime in july

[dizzhizz]

there should definitely be more meetups in the near future, and of course alcohol will always be involved in the mix.

[ken shinoda]

guys, where can i check out stuffs like dior, nn etc or local designer stuffs?

and any must go shops here in seoul? went to dongik uni last nite but there wasnt anything that interests me.

and is it safe to say that if i go to myeong dong, then i'd have just about everything covered?

damn, i need a fuckin local to bring me around :/

[dismalfuture]

myongdong doesn't have much for clothes that you'd like. Myongdong is just for walking up and down, really quickly.

Clothes are all in apkujung, in and around the Galleria Dept Store and that area. There's tons of shops within a few blocks.

[dismalfuture]

Scais, you comin tonight?

[shimshimhae]

dismal i wish i had your liver function.

i got fucked up last night :/. i will still be coming out to get shitfaced though

[dismalfuture]

I just hope they don't card you tonight, lol

[shimshimhae]

yeah, true. I went to myongdong and dongdaemun today (doota) fake branded goods. Although I have to say its pretty nicely made. Didnt get anything, just some uniqlo stuffs.

Wheres apkujung at btw?

Gonna check out the casino tomorrow at hilton:D

[dismalfuture]

apkujung is on the orange line, first stop south of the river.

[ken shinoda]

been to the shittest club here, so I'm all ears from ya'll.

is this list still any good or does it need an update?

Sorry for the late response...just got back skiing from Kangwon Land - High One Resort - which to my surprise was quite nice with a decent amount of slopes for Korean standards. Despite the influx of clusterfuck snowboarders, newbies at that, it was a good weekend.

And now, my list of clubs:

Kangnam

1. Mass - the most recent addition to the Kangnam clubs located in Kangnam station. Apparently, its the same owners as M2 with deep house spinning on the 1&2s. Kids there are a bit younger, with a lot of model kids running around wearing fake Dior and pleather jackets. The mood and ambience is fun and tends to get packed at 2am. Definitely a good place to check out and hit on little girls and buy them watered down tequila and get your groove on.

2. Answer - like the previous poster mentioned, its the former Club Veil across from the Prima Hotel and at given nights, has the best looking chics. Usually a lot of sool jib girls can be found here in addition to the mix of model chics with a lot of hard-techy house being spinned. Prices here are exorbitant for Seoul standards, but on a good night you will be impressed to see some good looking girls. Ambience is snoby and the boys like to wear them jeans sufu tight, so look sharp because a lot of fucking gold diggers be up in here. Trendy as fuck so put on your A-game.

3. Air - former Garden located across from the California gym in Apkujung. I haven't been there as of recent, but the best times are for launching parties with industry whores sipping their cosmos and what not. Not a consistent venue in terms of popularity, but might be worth checking out if going for free.

4. Cirlce - is now dead. Once the hotspot and heavily promoted by Miggi during its peak, this spot was the shizznit and the girl to guy ratio was unbelievable as they had proffessional go-go dancers shooting up gelo shots and abundant supply of girls ranging from professionals to students to models to room salong type chics. Not anymore. Don't wast your time here. Your better off checking out the clubs listed above. Wednesdays are high class hip hop nights (whatever the fuck that means) while weekends are mostly house and techno.

5. NB - hip hop 24-7. Full of young college kids trying to get their pimp game by grinding and getting wasted on cheap tequila. Music tends to be a bit more east coast oriented, so baggy pants, jerseys and bad hair-dos are the norm. You'll easily find young college girls looking for fun in groups of 4-8, so get your freak on but once you realize they're 22 and still a virgin, you might want to either run away or find something sluttier. As for the guys in there, try not to laugh at them. They look tough but really are just pussies in disguise. Genuine vaginas.

6. Harlem. Literally right next door to NB in Kangnam station. They have recently linked up with NB and thus one entrance fee will get you into both clubs. Not so packed as NB, but you'll still find the same type of peeps as you did in NB but since they have poles, it can make for good entertainment and observation.

7. JJ's in the Hyatt Hotel basement - as of recent, this place has been getting seriously packed with your mix of financial expats, Engrish speaking chics who work in foreign based companies, and younger working professionals. Bar prices are scary but the danceroom is small and thus its easier to meet and bump into some decent girls who will look at what type of shoes and watch your wearing. A bit more of an older crowd and the polar opposite in what you would find in NB, but might make for an interesting night. Be sure to get drunk first and then grab a spot by the bar immediately facing the dancefloor for best results.

I haven't been to Hongdae in a while, but its known for its numerous clubs and cheap drinks. As Dismal mentioned, Club Day takes place on the last Friday of every month, so its best to check out all the clubs for one entrance fee. Clubs worth checking out are M2, the original NB, Underlounge, Q-Vo, and just too many other dinky little clubs to explore and get silly.

Hope this helps.

i just took the most epic shit this morning.

next week OTB for sure.

[greasypeanut]

hey does anyone know of a place where i can buy some soap/detergent similar to dr.bronners or woolite dark in korea?

[dismalfuture]

They sell Dr Bronners at Watson's drug stores, a few of them at least. Also, the basement supermarkets of Hyundai Dept Store have it too, not in the main section but in the side vendors. I actually use Dr Bronner's everyday here in the shower, haha.
