Re: Basjoe
I sort of hope that James took the cup with him....meant something to him and he was a LARGE part of why Basjoes won the cup.

Re: Basjoe
Fuck
I'm happy for James, and sad I missed a chance for a final goodbye. I wish him only the best, and hope we cross paths again in the future.
Mrs TC said it best, without James, there is no Basjoe.

Re: Basjoe
Well that explains something.
Went in there on Saturday and bought something from this short haired fuck behind the counter for 15. Gave him a 50 and my change was 15. WTF? His excuse was that his mind wandered and he confused my change for what I paid him. James was still there and that was the only reason I did not pull his scrawny ass into my fist.

Re: Basjoe
actually I heard he was selling it not long after his brother died. I was just taken by surprise that we didnt know when it sold.

Re: Basjoe
Although Basjoe could never be the same without James, I am curious to see if the "business connections" were passed along. we'll know quick enough based on the menu.

Re: Basjoe
I'm curious too- please, everyone, keep us updated. Also, if you happen to recognize some of it turning up elsewhere. I imagine it will find an outlet somewhere...TwoCanucks wrote:Although Basjoe could never be the same without James, I am curious to see if the "business connections" were passed along. we'll know quick enough based on the menu.
I'm with you- I knew he had had plans to sell it, but with the boys around I had just sort of assumed those plans had changed. I suspect keeping the sale quiet was in the best interest of the deal.cattales1960 wrote:actually I heard he was selling it not long after his brother died.

Marco, what did you buy? How was it?
I agree with ES, that we should try, in grand Amsterdam style, to throw more of a wake than a funeral. In that spirit, I'm going to share some stories on my last travelogue. Feel free to come by and add your own

Re: Basjoe
It's nice to have had a small taste of original formula before things changed. Have some nice memories of an unexpected birthday t&t to savor. Glad I got my fist bumps in when I did. May your happy thoughts flicker on like the warm red table lights.

Re: Basjoe
I'm in the camp that as cool as james and leo were, basjoe wasnt one of my 'must go places', I dont think think ive even been in for a few years, everyone look on the brightside the new basjoe (or wotever they choose to name it) could be even better than it was, with a brand new formula! could be anothee voyagers!
