A 'Beary' good time in Busan

‘A BEARY GOOD TIME’

On September 5th, the Groove Magazine and Moonbears.org team made the trek to Pusan for our much anticipated Bear Fundraiser, featuring the ultra-cool and creatively linguistic band ‘Hajimama’. The event was held at ‘The Basement’, a well-known local haunt that is small in size but well frequented. It’s the sort of place where “everybody knows your name” and owner Liam Cullivan probably knows your drink too. Expect a warm welcome and (if you're lucky), a drink on the house for being a new-comer.

A great time was had by all and Moonbears.org would like to extend their thanks to the immensely sexy staff of The Basement, and the members of both ‘Cosmic Cosmics band’ and featured band Hajimama, for channelling their ‘inner fashion model’ to help us sell our fab T-shirts. Liam was kind enough to throw in a free drink to buyers. All proceeds for shirt sales will go to Moonbears.org and the “Save Miracle the Bear Fund".

If you’re in Pusan, be sure to stop at the Basement, located conveniently near PNU and about 20 minutes from the KTX. Well worth the 3 hour train ride from Seoul and you can look forward to waking up to a morning at the beach if you hurry…the warm weather is waning! Be sure to have a shot of Sambuca with Liam before you head home and enjoy the complimentary munchies and good company. Think of 'Cheers meets Korea' and you've got the atmosphere of 'The Basement" down; it's got that homey feeling with a great lineup of entertainers and plenty of local gossip, advice and camaraderie. The crowd is about half expat, half Korean and 100% friendly.
