I reckon it’s time to once again accommodate Thirsty’s request for regular dart league updates. Last night my team (The Dillinger’s Dartitis Quarintine) played the boys from Friends Bar. This bar is not my favorite venue by a long shot. I wrote a review of the joint way back in 2009 and suffice to say things have not improved. It’s dirty, dark, and dank. And they don’t serve draft beer. So I settled for large bottles of OB at W5000 a pop. To be fair though, the boards were in excellent condition and the lighting of said boards was also better than I remember. And the bartender was friendly, efficient, and well-decorated.
Our team suffered another ass-kicking, which makes us 0-3 on the season. I’m playing in the “A” division, but I am not throwing “A” division darts. I went 0-3 in singles, 2-1 and 1-2 in doubles. I just can’t seem to hang with the big boys these days, which is frustrating. Ah well, nothing to do but keep throwing and hope for better results.
On Sunday I attended a surprise birthday party for my buddy Matt (and potential future boss) at Shenanigans. It actually was a surprise for me because I showed up by chance without an invite. I felt a little weird about that, but the next day I noticed that I had been sent a message asking me to come. Anyway, we did an impromptu tourney and I drew Matt as my partner. We managed a second place finish, but had I thrown even marginally better we could (and should) have won the damn thing. I couldn’t help but feel I let the birthday boy down. Ah well.
Friday night at Dolce Vita I fared a little better, taking a first place with my partner YS.
And other than that I guess all I can report is that I’ve been feeling a little moody lately. In fact, this pretty much sums up my state of mind:
Just gonna roll with the flow for now and see what tomorrow brings.
In my list of “How the hell does that place stay open?” Friends bar was right at the top, and that was before the surge in the number of bars in Itaewon.
It is indeed inexplicable…
