Re: Snowy's gone
I've never been to a better bar in my whole life. Period. Double Period. I took the ferry almost daily at 6:00 to have a sundowner drink for several years. I knew Ian well and helped him mount his 1st art exhibition at the Le Royal years ago.
He was a sincere and warm bloke. He liked his drink and was a wonderful teller of stories. His personal scrapbook from the early 90's was amazing! As I write this, framed elaborately above my bed, is what I considered his best artwork ever. I loved him and his artwork and his bar...and his daughter Maxine was tres cool as well...thankfully I documented him and that bar with many photographs...the memory of that bar and Ian himself shall live on!

Re: Snowy's gone
Yes heard the sad news as well.
Apparently he passed away last Friday in Australia following a surgery.
RIP Snow and I hope you set up another nice little underground bar with live events for us to come and visit you when the time comes.

Re: Snowy's gone
Fuck.
RIP Snow.
You ran the best bar in Phnom Penh. When I first arrived Maxine's was a must go every Friday night. Snow was a top guy and we would sit and listen to music and talk for hours.
Whenever I had friends and family in town Snow's was always a must see and everyone wanted to go back time and time again.
The world has lost one of the good guys and Phnom Penh has lost a legend.
You will never be forgotten.

Re: Snowy's gone
Damn shame. I never went to the Green Resort (or whatever it's called), his bar's reincarnation in Kampot, but I heard it was doing well.
