We spent St. Patrick's Day with friends listening to live blues. St. Patricks Day doesn't really have the same (or any for that matter) atmosphere here, but we got together with some other foreigners to create our own.
We went to a great spot in Sapporo called Buddy Buddy With the Door. It is the sister pub to our favorite hang out, the Famous Door. Both spots serve good food, have plenty of international beer and are styled in New Orleans fasion.
The stage that the band plays from is on the second floor, on what is designed to look like a small second story balcony that could have been plucked right out of Bourbon street. It is all set in an old building that has loose floorboards that shift your chair when the staff walks behind you, adding to the ambiance. The band was a bunch of local musicians and they lit the place up for 3 long sets before turning in their instruments for a plate of gumbo and settling in at a table with other local folks.
Here is a photo of Shawn chatting with an American friend while the band plays above. It was a nice night with good company and good music. We will definately visit this place again when they have live music again.
