Funny, Redongdo, everytime i offered you a drink you ordered warm milk. You drinking beer now? :)

By Redongdo on Friday, February 01, 2002 - 09:27 am:  Edit

Traveller!

Dude, what rock have you been hiding under?

Mucho tiempo amigo...I remember your attempts at translating for me....the chica would say something in Espanol, then you turned to me and said the same exact thing...only slowly and overly enunciated..in Espanol! Then vicey-versey I'd say something in Ingles and sure enough you turned to the chica and said what I said..in Ingles only slower and overly enunciated....wasn't warm milk you were drinking!

HAH!

By Traveller on Friday, February 01, 2002 - 10:39 am:  Edit

Redongdo, oh i've been hiding under a bunch of rocks, even some mexican rocks, just none in tj. I need to shoot down there sometime and see what's changed. Glad to see you're still around. I'll let you know if i head that way.

Bay Area Mongers

Being that a couple of key-note speakers were "otherwise occupide" we've had to rescedule Bay Area mongers convention.

With seven confirmations the convention is going on this month "Hell or Highwater". The date and time have been set. If you didn't get your invitation and would like to participate, send an e-mail to me at:

lowang@samerica.com

Key-note speakers, ha ha ha, ha ha ha!
Crazy pinoy would like to RSVP, he wants to know, if you mind him bringing his photo album.

We, in fact, insist that Crazy Pinoy brings his photo album. You too... and Valentino also!

I'm going to bring a cool little "keepsake" from the last trip that I'm sure some of you will recognize recognize.

I will bring what I got as well...in digital form!

Jesse,

Just wanted to thank you for being a fine tour guide last weekend. Thought I had posted my thanks earlier in the week, but apparently it did not make it up on the board. Must be going senile.

Thanks,

Abunker

By Jesse on Thursday, February 07, 2002 - 09:08 pm:  Edit

Abunker,

Actually I didn't feel like I was much help. For someone without much experience in TJ you seemed to know your way around pretty well. Hell, you've done Aracelli on two different trips and I'm still trying to figure out who she is. Not to mention the other monger paradises you've lived in.

Anyway, what time did you get out of CC that night? It looked like it was going to take forever for them to search everyone and turn us loose so I saw an opening and went for it. I saw someone approach the guys guarding the door and thought he wasn't going to get anywhere but next thing I knew they took him in the hall, searched him and let him go. I figured he must've paid them off but I didn't care, just wanted out of there, so I followed suit. To my surprise they didn't ask for money, just searched me and I was next door eating tacos in no time.

Hope the rest of your trip went well. This sunday afternoon will be my last time for a while.

Hey Elvis,

Are you still checking here? I notice that Feb. 9th hasn't come, and I could try to help you out if you still need it.

CHL

By Coolhandluke on Friday, February 08, 2002 - 02:36 am:  Edit

Hey Dickjohnson!!

When are we going to hook up again? Pecs, Milk and I lost you that one time at Pulgies. Hopefully we can meet up again. I'll e-mail you.

My e-mail is gkennedy619@hotmail.com

Talk to you soon, hopefully,
CHL

By Dickjohnson on Friday, February 08, 2002 - 04:09 pm:  Edit

Hey, CHL!

Yeah had a good, tho brief, time with you, Milky and Pecs at Pulgies. Heck if I live in S D I'd go down TJ a lot more often. Been there 5-6 times in the last 5 months. It was becoming a habit lol.

I went to a massage place but saved my bullet for a CG. This CG came to spend the night with me, lol, I got lucky. Paid her only for 30 min. Did you guys score lol?

Dude, I'm heading down to Asia in 20 days. Bali first. Phuket, China etc. If you guys can make it I strongly recommend it. I've been asking Pecs to go but he's afraid he wouldn't come back.

I'll keep you all posted.

Mongers,

Have previously done tj alone (6-8 times) Am flying in afternoon 2/11 and out 2/12. Anyone down for a beer late evening of 11th, say Adelitas or CC? Never met fellow monger, I could probably learn a thing or two for a beer or two.

Mayoboy

By Boxscott on Monday, February 11, 2002 - 06:00 am:  Edit

Gonna be down there on Friday the 15th through Saturday the 16th. Any recommendations for a good overnight hotel? I'd like to stay in the vicinity of AB & CC is possible.

Also, how closely do the border people check walk-throughs nowadays? It's been a while.

By Abunker on Monday, February 11, 2002 - 05:49 pm:  Edit

Jesse,

Went to bed after I cleared security, probably around 1AM. Briefly stopped by the previous club before going to bed alone.

I probably won't make it back down until March either, but enjoyed drinking with you all the same. Interestingly enough, I think I worked off a few pounds, "the Monger diet / excercise plan."

Boxscott - walked through twice the weekend before last between 11AM and 1PM Sat & Sun respectively, and never waited longer than an hour to cross. The walk through line looks a lot worse than it is. There are bicycles you can rent for about $5 if you need to fly through, and they pick them up on the other end. The line to get a bycycle appeared to be about 5-20 minutes. Saw people riding through with backpacks but did not try.

Abunker

By Jesse on Monday, February 11, 2002 - 08:38 pm:  Edit

Boxscott,

I pass thru the pedestrian line about 2x per month, usually with a backpack. Typically they just ask what's in the backpack but yesterday the agent actually looked thru it himself. He didn't search it thoroughly but I would still be uneasy transporting anything I wasn't supposed to. They've never searched my person or asked me to empty my pockets.

By Nanapong on Monday, February 11, 2002 - 09:11 pm:  Edit

Box,

Maybe we can meet up and have a few. I will be staying at the Cascade Hotel (Thursday night). My first time there. Will be at the La Villa Z Friday - Monday

Nanapong

By Duessel on Thursday, February 14, 2002 - 09:36 am:  Edit

Hi Mongers in San Diego,
I am going down to ZN today around 11 or so. Anybody need a ride to the linea, let me know; will come back around 5PM. Guy with blue cap and black jeans, sand colour blazer.

By Boxscott on Thursday, February 14, 2002 - 12:59 pm:  Edit

Nanapong & other mongers...

We'll (friend & I) be there (AB & CC) night of 2/15 & maybe 2/16! Just look for the 2 newbie-looking gringos. :)

Can anyone say needle in a fucking haystack! Why don't you try to give a slightly better description of yourself, boxscott, if you actually want someone to find you.

By Bosco on Monday, February 18, 2002 - 11:29 pm:  Edit

Are any of the Thursday semi-regulars going to show on the 21st? CHL/Daytimer/DoginHeat/cf/etc. Let's keep an eye out for each other...Bosco

By Duessel on Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 03:45 pm:  Edit

I'll be in Zona Norte between noon and 5PM; hang around AB and Miami. Guy with glasses, blue
"Madonna Cap", and black jeans. Maybe I'll see you

Duessel

By Bosco on Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 04:18 pm:  Edit

Duessel...I'll look for you, though I probably won't arrive until around 4:00-5:00pm. We may miss each other. Why don't you stay a bit longer and watch the variedad at AB which starts around 5:30-6:00pm? I usually wear a blue baseball cap with gold UCSD lettering (for easy identification). DoginHeat posted a query on the discussion board, as well. Check the messages on this thread as well as on the discussion board up until the time you leave home, and see who all is planning to show up...Bosco

By Markymark on Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 05:28 pm:  Edit

BOSCO,duessel or anyone, planning on going down tuesday afternoon and staying maybe till midnight or so? anyone going down? marky

By Bosco on Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 11:20 pm:  Edit

Markymark...you mentioned "Tuesday", did you mean tomorrow, Thursday, 2/21? If so, look for Duessel, DoginHeat (see his post on the discussion board) and/or me. Dog posted that he will post again just before he departs for TJ. Likewise, I will re-post tomorrow in the early afternoon with details of my expected arrival time. Look for my blue baseball cap with gold UCSD lettering...Bosco

By Doginheat on Thursday, February 21, 2002 - 03:11 pm:  Edit

Bosco & Duessel,

I leaving for TJ now so I should be at AB around 5:30pm.

By Markymark on Friday, February 22, 2002 - 04:55 am:  Edit

no , tuesday meant tuesday lol, can anyone make it? marky

By Oldsailor on Friday, February 22, 2002 - 10:45 am:  Edit

Dog-in-Heat...

Haven't been in AB on a Thursday in awhile. Playing the FAV thing every Monday at El Parador. How is the selection now?

Oldsailor

By Duessel on Friday, February 22, 2002 - 02:07 pm:  Edit

Hi Bosco & Dogiheat
Sorry I missed you yesterday at AB/HongKong; But i had to bail out at 4:30PM to be in San Diego at 6PM (just made it in time - 1.5 hrs wait in pedest. line). Hope next time better luck and timing.

Duessel

By Doginheat on Friday, February 22, 2002 - 08:43 pm:  Edit

Hey Duessel,

Sorry we missed you. I think I meet Bosco at AB around 5:45pm and I didn't leave until 10:30. There was absolutely no line getting across.

Hey Oldsailor,

Selection was good but not as good as two weeks ago. I was outstanding then. There were a few new girls that were really hot. Next time you think about showing up on a Thursday, give me a shout and we'll have a few beers.

Dog

By Bosco on Friday, February 22, 2002 - 10:11 pm:  Edit

Dog...your timing is impeccable! Last night after we parted company I took one more lap around the stage at AB. As you and Michelle worked your way toward the door the chica with white short-shorts had just returned and taken a position at the southwest corner of the stage. You walked right by her, but your back was to her as you slid by...one more for the 'to do' list.

See you soon...Bosco

By Doginheat on Saturday, February 23, 2002 - 11:26 am:  Edit

Damn! I wanted the girl baaaad! Murphy's law - if you can screw up you will. That girl is a definte "to do." Thanks for the heads up. Take care.

By Bosco on Wednesday, February 27, 2002 - 12:59 am:  Edit

DoginHeat, CHL, Duessel, Daytimer, Xkansan, everyone!!...I am planning a Thursday trip 2/28. I typically arrive around 4:30-5:30pm. I peek into AB to look for familiar faces, and then take a lap or two around the alley to kill time until the variedad starts at AB. It can start anytime between 5-6pm, so I play it by ear.

Is anyone interested in hooking up? For those who don't know me, I try to wear something easily identifiable. So look for a navy blue San Diego Chargers sweatshirt, and a blue baseball cap with gold UCSD lettering...Bosco

By Milkman on Wednesday, February 27, 2002 - 01:05 am:  Edit

Too many Boscos !!!
I will be around as i might look for my future wife again

I will be sleeping over my current novias Wed night and might solicit my body around Constitution in the afternoon looking for new hot chicas ;o)!!

During my day trips I do not wear Milkster approved clothing but rather vato wear.
I will peak my head into Adelitas around that time and look for you.

Do you have a better timeframe than 1 hour ?
I am a stickler for timing !!
Anyone else gonna be around at this time ?

Take care
Too many milkies

By Pecs on Wednesday, February 27, 2002 - 08:30 am:  Edit

Hey Milky,

I'll be around Thursday sometime during early afternoon. Staying at Cascadas and roam around Revo and Plaza Rio. Maybe hookup at Pulgies at night.

Pecs

By Milkman on Wednesday, February 27, 2002 - 01:16 pm:  Edit

Hey i am leaving soon for tj
meet me tommorow at adelitas at 5 pm
I will be looking for too many Boscos.
Your girlfriend keeps asking about you so we will hit her bar later on
take care

By Spectre on Wednesday, February 27, 2002 - 05:38 pm:  Edit

Hi all,

I will be down at AD tonight around 7:30. If you want to introduce yourself, I will be wearing a long sleeve dark blue shirt with collar, blue jeans, and white & grey running shoes. I am 38, brown hair, wear glasses. You may see Tanya or Candy hanging on me.

Spectre

By Daytimer on Wednesday, February 27, 2002 - 07:45 pm:  Edit

Bosco.....I will be going to MX tomorrow for sure. But I am so fucked up on a couple of chicas in Ensenada that I am seriously considering going back tomorrow, even though I was there just last week.

I have not made up my mind yet and may decide to just stay in Happyland. So if I do stay in TJ I will look for you and Milky.

dt

By Bosco on Wednesday, February 27, 2002 - 09:53 pm:  Edit

Milkman...tomorrow my plans are less certain than usual because I have a dentist appointment in the early afternoon (north of the border) and will probably head down as soon as I am through. I am uncertain as to when I will be done. I may arrive anytime from 3:30 onwards. I will look for you at AB periodically after my arrival and will make a point of being there at 5pm.

Daytimer...hope to see you tomorrow. Someday I want you to act as tour guide for me to Ensenada. But Fridays are tough for me nowadays so my schedule is not amenable. If I remember correctly, you typically arrive mid-afternoon so I will be on the lookout for you as soon as I arrive. I'll peek into BT and some of the other smaller bars, as well.

DoginHeat...hope you saw my response to your threaded board post. Look for me and whoever else at the AB variedad whenever you happen to arrive. If you are going to arrive much later or earlier than your usual time let us all know.

By Doginheat on Thursday, February 28, 2002 - 03:24 pm:  Edit

Hey Bosco,

I just responded to your message. It's not looking good right now for me because I just got out of unexpected meeting about 10 mins ago (it's about 3:25pm) and I have to follow up with some people here because of the meeting. I think if everything goes well I might be able to get out of here by 4:30 to 5pm (I'm still in downtown LA) and probably be down at the zona by about 7 to 8pm. If I can't get out by 5pm, I'm not going to able to go down this time. Either way, I'll post you a message a little later to let you know.

Hello hombres,

I live in Singapore and have been posting a lot on Asia under K2climbed2. Hope some of you found it useful.

Well be in Tijuana on the 9th and 10th of March as a first time-er. Was planing on staying at the Grand (unless other recommendations are better)

Anybody in Tijuana on the 9th and 10th of March???

Anyone up for a trip to TJ from LA Friday, 15 Mar. Plan to leave South Bay area around 9-10 a.m

K2climbed2 -

Hi - read your report on Phnom Penh - left you a question in the Cambodia > Phnom Penh > Phnom Penh discussion area...it concerned the name of the hotel you stayed at near the Japanese Bridge.

I spend 3 months a year in PNH, too bad I'm booked this Saturday and Sunday or I'd try to hook up with you in TJ. It's no SEA, and there sure aren't any $3-$5 short-times to be had!

On the other hand, I may be busting up with my stateside GF, it's getting very slippery, so I might be free this weekend, or part of it, after all...check ClubHombre for news (in this thread).

I'd be interested in your impressions...give us a report, eh?. I'm so spoiled by SEA that I can hardly go down to TJ any more, even though it's only 20 minutes from my place in San Diego.

Soam lia seun, as they say in Khmer (chau anh!).

By Koro on Tuesday, March 05, 2002 - 02:28 pm:  Edit

K2climbed2:

It's a day later...overnight I thought - maybe not such a cool idea to see you in TJ. I've become so soured on the place that it would be unfair to you to possibly put a damper on your time there. You need to be in the company of someone who's really enthusiastic about the place.

Fact is that I generally go down to TJ only if I've got something else to do there - like pick up prescription meds. I then make a night of it, checking out all the known places (AB, CC, Las Chavelas, Miami etc)and as many out- of-the-way spots as I can fit in. I either swing through the smaller clubs 'looking for a friend', or sit down, drink an inch of beer or coke, case out the girls, then split, inevitably disappointed. As I say, SEA has spoiled me completely.

I've been going to TJ for 20 years, know my way around pretty well, had plenty of great times, but the down-trend these days has become significant. In my last 6 trips to TJ, I've come back celibate each time - and that was certainly not my intent!...when I *do* go with a girl, it's with 75-100 mg of Viagra to help out, not the 25 I usually use. And even then...But plenty of guys here at CH are infatuated with the place. Better you spend time with one of them. I thought we might have fun comapring notes on PNH, but that's surely not your main agenda.

Still interested in an answer to my question in the Asia > Cambodia > Phnom Penh discussion area, re the hotel name - and also whether the girls at the hotel were predominantly K or VN.

Drop a line if you like via mail, or post here. And good luck on your visit to good old TJ. (It *was* good in the old days!)
