I'm ashamed to be an American sometimes
So, last weekend we went to a coffee, liquor and shoes expo in Centium City. It was a blast we mostly got really drunk and never saw any of the shoes. I will tell this story in reverse as blogger likes to post my pictures in reverse order and it is a real pain in my ass to copy and paste them the right way.
We ended up at this bar in Haeundae. I got destroyed in darts. I won in craps on the street corner outside. Weird. Never thought I'd roll into a craps game in Korea. It was all foreigners. A couple of Kiwis and a Welshman really pushing the gambling. We are really drunk at this point. Megan is pictured above with a friend of a friend, Melissa, from Austin, who is really cool, and some peeps of hers. This pic was taken during the impromptu dance party in the bar.
Previous to the bar we went and drank beer on the beach in Haeundae but I have no pictures of that escapade. It was nice though. I thought I wanted to jump in the ocean. But I'm glad I didn't. I would have been miserable for the rest of the night. There was a sweet skate demo happening on the beach and the two westerners (seemingly Americans) were really not showing up like we wanted them to. But we agreed we couldn't do any better, but one of the guys we met kept bragging about his aggressive blading skills. He was funny. I think he's leaving the country though. And I already forgot his name. The above picture I saw on a shop window next door to the best mexican food place in Busan, TACO AL PUEBLO.
After the beach we dined on beautiful burritos and margaritas at this fine establishment with these fine people. This is one of the weirdest pictures of me and megan.
The waiter we had was a theatre student in college. I got his number to be in my improv troupe, maybe I'll call him. It's still in my phone. The cooks were huge pimps. They are as close to Mexican as you can get here. Had to get my pictures taken with them.
Club Murp anyone?

Summer in Sarasota
This is a video of The Play format the Available Cupholders did for the Sarasota Improv Festival. The house was amazing. They knew improv and loved it. It was one of my favorite times on stage. Here it is in three parts. Thanks for posting Beard.

It's that Thuggish Ruggish Bone.
I was having fun with the kids at school today. Wednesday is my busiest day but I brought my camera along and took some pics. And some took pics of me. But this video is by far the best. Bone Thugs N' Harmony. Nuff said.
Then I busted this jack move. They thought I was taking a picture. But instead I was shooting video and saying words they haven't learned yet. The last image is priceless.
A coworker took this shot of me with one of my bosses in the background. She always covers her mouth when she speaks. She is nice. Her English name is Andie.
This is one of my favorite classes, but that doesn't mean the are well behaved. Far from it. A room of psychotic people. The best kind. Also, if you can't tell the peace sign is blowing up over here.
Jim Butterfield
Rehearsals are going well for "Busan Night Live." I'm in two sketches so far, but I'm also going to be in a video sketch and do some narration for two other video sketches. It's good to get some acting/comedy outlet for myself while I'm here. I'm excited about the show. I really like the venue. And apparently it was jam packed the last time they did it, about 8 months ago. It's good to meet some new people. Especially people interested in theatre and comedy. A couple I met in BSN from Colorado have experience in improv and they are down to join a group after this show is over. Can't wait to sink my teeth into that. Now I just gotta find some Koreans who wanna prov. Got any leads? Here's some pics from our last rehearsal for BSN. The Dating Game sketch. I am the host Jim Butterfield.
red bean paste
Just passed our one month point here in Pusan, and it's high time I posted something about the sweetness that is Galbi. I can't get too in depth because I don't know the language enough to order different styles and I think there is a variety. All I've had so far are seomgypsal and... no that's it I think, just seomgypsal... Basically galbi is bacon. But what I love about it is the way in which it is served and eaten.
They bring out a table top grill to your spot where you and usually 2 to 3 other friends will chow down. They supply you with tiny bowls of other assorted goodness to add to your galbi experience. garlic. kimchi. lettuce wraps. peppers. oil for dippin. and the incredible red bean paste. (my favorite) so you grill up your meat and throw on whatever else, season it up a little and chow down. It's the way to eat. It's communal. It's healthy. Maybe. It's a good time.
