History of ChickenHeadLab |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
ChickenHeadLab I |
|
|
|
|
|
Here is where it all started. This place was great. It was, however, in a lowclass neighborhood filled with gangsters, street punks, construction workers and drunk old men. They didn't understand or appreciate our all-black interior, video, real drinks (not watered down beer and cocktails), etc. Through The American Scuba Club of Korea, some customers came down from Osan... which led to ChickenHeadLab III. |

ChickenHeadLab II |
|
|
|
There are no pictures of ChickenHeadLab II. It was an ugly wood remodel of ChickenHeadLab I with old scuba diving stuff all over the walls. Much of the black interior and furniture was used to make CHLIII. While CHLII was more comfortable for Korean customers, it was DULL to work in. After CHLIII opened, we had a nightmare trying to keep 2 ChickenHeadLabs going in 2 cities. After about 3 months, we were glad to close it down. |

ChickenHeadLab III |
|
|
|
On the suggestion of people who live at Osan, we opened ChickenHeadLab III. They claimed the bars around Osan were lame or contained annoying jucy girls. An American Style bar was needed. We have never had so much fun. If you were not at the Y2K party, you missed out! We opened 40 bottles of champagne, 100 poppers and 50 sparklers at midnight. We killed 2 TVs, had a fire, dumped buckets of vomit and saw our first Booty Shots (oh, and what a fine booty it was). It took 7 hours to clean up. CHLIII is gone (and replaced by a pink interior Korean coffeeshop/bar - and then replaced by Manhattan Deli - then a Thai resturaunt) but the memory lives on for us and all of our customers. |

ChickenHeadLab IV |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
After nights of screw guns and paint fumes, the former lame interior was modified to the point it was functional. |

The landlord of CHLIII lived above us and they couldn't sleep with our 2am parties. We tried everything to keep more quiet but the party just wouldn't die. He asked if we would move out if he could find a decent replacement building. Even though we were VERY happy there, the CHLIV building was too good to pass up. It solved many of the problems (space, stage, music volume, kitchen, toilets that wouldn't eat poop, etc.) of CHLIII. Even though the location was not on the main street, we hoped our loyal customers would walk the extra 50 steps or so to get there. And they did (so we love you all). Even though we used the lame existing interior (with a few mods) much of the great mood and feel of CHLIII has lived on. |

ChickenHeadLab V |
|
|
|
CHLV was a remodel of CHLIV. It was fixed up, repainted and made into a brighter and cleaner environment in keeping with the "New Air Force" desires to reduce partying and reduce scandal. It operated for exactly 365 days before being placed off-limits forever. Osan's town patrol and the Armed Forces Disciplinary Control Board started running a scam to get money from "normal" bars or they would be placed off-limits. Until this time, this had only been done with clubs running prostitutes to GIs. We refused to pay the bribe to the United States Air Force. As of 3/05, town patrol's Lt. Davis is in jail but Osan AFDCB (Col Downlin, Col WIllet) and Osan leadership (General Forsyth) is trying to cover up their involvement. Whatever the case, after 4 months of off-limits (before the corruption scandal even got noticed) we decided to close. |

ChickenHeadLab VI - The Lab |
|
|
|
|
|
Lots of Army guys and girls come up from Camp Humphreys to Osan Air Base/Songtan to party. Frequent requests to put a ChickenHead in front of their base were answered. |

ChickenHeadLab VII - The Real Lab |
|
|
|
|
|
ChickenHead Zero was a lab. ChickenHeadIV had a lab (ChickenHead4.5). Now, thanks to THE LAB webpage, ChickenHeadLab has been given a grant to expand. ChickenHeadLab VII should be completed in 02/04 with advanced machining capabilities, an electonic design center, a chemistry lab and the ability to test eveything from microwaves to pressure. |

There is no CHLV but if there was, it would be in a massive hanger. It would be painted black, filled with neon and bigscreen TVs, have a couple of hot tubs and a free internet terminal on every table. There would be a ring filled with Jell-o (or mud), a big glass tank with a couple of dolphins (plus babes with skimpy swimsuits) and live music playing from a platform hanging from the ceiling. In the middle would be a soundproof glass room filled with sofas and jazz music. The roof of this room would be the dance floor (great for looking up skirts). It would be heated with giant gas flames and cooled with a wind tunnel fan. |
