July 7, 2009 looks like a dry day

[MM 6,562]

No word yet from the police, but the television news is saying that July 7, 2009 will be alcohol-free in honor of a Buddhist holiday. July 8, the entry into Buddhist "Lent" is potentially dry, but that's not clear either.

 

So, from what I know right now, July 7 will be dry (maybe bars open but no music and no obvious alcohol sales), and July 8 might be a closure as well.

 

The hard line religious types seem to be carrying the day this year. With the government so tenuously holding power, they don't want to piss off any strongly committed groups...and religious fanatics are the most strongly committed of all.

this is good news, I can delay my move until then & still be able to attend some 4th of July events with some Yank friends this weekend

Wonder why you are moving?

I've got a friend who does smoked meats & he needs a helping hand, after that I will probably get on a plane back to B.C. & see about some contracts working abroad

 

 

any bar owners out there have the notification for closure yet ?
