Their facebook photos look like they have some small tables with bar stools around them.

I'm still iffy. The wife is fickle on these things and can't decide if she wants to go or not with the kid, and if she doesn't whether she wants me to go or not :p

Haha, it has a load of stools and high tables rather sit down chairs and tables. As SMS said, take a look at the Facebook page.

According to the preamble, I believe the original concept bar in Ju'ban, Tokyo does not have any chairs/stools and it's just that, a standing concept. At least the way Saint originally told it.

Somebody will eventually come up with "Juban Lounge" or "Juban Sit-Stand-Crouch-or-whatever-it's-cool-with-us."

I read the site (the one SMS posted) and I assumed that this was a standing place. Sounds like it could be a go'er though.

Anyway, for Friday - I definitely cannot make it, but, I have confirmed that Michelle will be in the Phad Thai and will make sure that everyone is looked after in the usual manner.

Well, we are looking at somewhere between 10-14 I reckon. With some new faces and some old faces not seen for a while. Good mix I reckon and for the gals who always think we are short of gals, it looks like you will be well represented this time! :cool:
