Why Don’t You…?

Filed under:Bar Notes ♪,Misc — posted by JAWjaw on October 6, 2004 @ 5:12 am

I often get asked why I don’t let people bring their own beverages into the club. I really think that’s pretty self-explanatory. Inevitably I get someone who thinks they’re going islander and tries the “…but that’s not the local way!” on me. Well anyone who has been here long enough would know, the owner and/or manager of the facility decide which “system” is appropriate for that particular club. For some clubs that means “No Americans” for others it means somewhere around a one thousand yen cover charge. At Live Music Bar JET, it means no outside beverages allowed.

Another thing one hears over here is the “I have a brilliant idea” person(s). My question to them is: if that idea is so brilliant, why don’t you use your own funds, time, and energy and open that club yourself?

    Hello. I’m mayu, a student from Singapore. My friends and I are doing a project on Okinawa and Okinawa Music for our Japanese Studies module in University. Little information on Okinawa music can be found in our country and thus we are subscribing for as much help on the internet as possible. Our project is on whether Okinawan music has been identified as part of the cultural identity of Okinawan, how integrated music is with the lives of Okinawan people and what kind of music most Okinawan people enjoy. If it’s not a burden, we would really appreciate it if you, as a foreigner who has resided on Okinawa for more than 20 years, would spend a few minutes to just give us your thoughts and email me back at ‘mayu_pup@kinki-kids.com’.

    Much thanks and appreciation
    mayu
