With Christmas and New Year’s come and gone, it’s time to exchange all those horrible gifts you received and will never use… and of course the best way to do that is at a Stuff Swap! So the Post Christmas Stuff Swap will be happening on Saturday, January 10th, 2009 from 6:00 pm on, at Pedro’s Pizza. Bring in all of the things that you no longer want or use, and swap it for stuff that you will use… Brilliant! Just keep in mind that the stuff should be in good condition.

Well, it has grown so much over the years that on Christmas day this year (next week! holy crap!) there will be about 70 Sad Bastards in all experiencing our own special brand of Holiday Cheer. Good thing we renovated the bar this year and that the doorway now opens up completely…

Oh, and we now have Sea Kayaks for the exclusive use of our guests… Pedro’s Inn, the only Belize Hostel with the ammenities of a full service resort! What’s in store for 2009? Keep checking back to find out.

Here are some photos of Sad Bastard’s Christmas Past…

All the fun starts at around 6:00pm. Bring any old things that you have that you no longer need or use and swap it for something that someone else doesn’t use anymore. Things must be in good condition, and no undies please this time.

Games night this Saturday will feature a Trivial Pursuit tourny. Beer Pong has proven quite popular so it’s a good bet people will be playing that… and there will be a host of other games available to play.

Tonight (Friday) we celebrate Lorie’s birthday… sure to be a fun time with a fair bit of Jager thrown into the mix, so come on by and help us celebrate! A few photos of the birthday girl:

And San Pedro’s most photographed resident, Pizza Chef, Handyman and Glue that holds this whole place together, Walter celebrates his birthday with a Pool Party & BBQ starting at 5:00 pm tomorrow (Saturday October 11th). This is one of the ‘Can’t Miss’ events of the year and all we can say is… HOLY MOLY!!!

So, this is your official invitation to join us on Saturday September 27th at 5:00 pm (or earlier if it’s a hot afternoon!).

Stuff Swaps are really quite simple, you bring your old stuff that you don’t want or need anymore (must be in decent condition). Whatever you don’t use anymore… clothing, home stuff, books, DVDs, tools - whatever it is. We pile everything onto a table and you can take anything you want for free - it’s that easy… first come first serve of course.

Here are some photos of previous stuff swaps courtesy of tacogirl (and a couple of ‘frolicking in the new pool’ photos as well). Hope to see you on Saturday! And if you’d like to get on the party invitation list, just contact tacogirl from her blog.

We will be sure to keep you well informed on this national crisis as new developments occur, in the meantime, be sure to stop by the Pub for your emergency ration of Jager!
