Dear Trevor…

Dear Trevor
You talk a good game, but when it comes to actually supporting your talk you seem to disappear…?
 
Sad to see you have cancelled your upcoming Hong Kong show. HK is a wonderfully safe city. There’s lots to see and do and it’s easy to avoid any of the protests.
 
The protestors are friendly polite HongKongers of all ages frustrated at their incompetent leaders. If you come across them you’ll invariably find them helpful, intelligent and friendly.
 
If you get a lung full of tear gas or a face full of pepper-spray from our aggressive overzealous police – that’s today’s reality for Hongkongers old and young. But it’s a tale to tell in your shows and on TV.
 
And the only way that’s likely to happen is if you actively want it to. The actions are slow-moving and not hard to avoid.
 
I would though avoid wearing a white t-shirt on the streets, unless of course you enjoy sloppy group kisses from tattooed men holding small dildos.
 
There are occasional transport delays, but nothing that’ll affect your visit significantly. And if your flights delayed our friendly bar owners will be happy to serve you cold expensive beer all night while you wait.
 
Again sad to see you’re not coming, the daily fabrications from Carrie Lam and the HK Police are stronger than most building foundations in China and would give you material for multiple three hour shows.

New Makati 30th Anniversary – 17 May, 2019

New Makati hosted a party for regulars and friends on the 17 May, 2019 to celebrate its Thirtieth Anniversary. And a great time was had by one and all!

While it may not strictly be the bar’s 30th birthday (a previous owner didn’t life 4s, so the 4th, 14th and 24th anniversaries were skipped) New Makati / Makati is one of the oldest bars in Wanchai and if walls had ears the tales it might tell…

Congratulations to Joe and his team of hard working staff.
