Here’s a little history, care of Wikipedia.

Titled Washington’s Birthday, a federal holiday honoring George Washington was originally implemented by an Act of Congress in 1879 for government offices in the District of Columbia (20 Stat. 277) and expanded in 1885 to include all federal offices (23 Stat. 516). As the first federal holiday to honor an American citizen, the holiday was celebrated on Washington’s actual birthday, February 22.^[1] On January 1, 1971, the federal holiday was shifted to the third Monday in February by the Uniform Monday Holiday Act.^[2] This date places it between February 15 and 21, which makes the name “Washington’s Birthday” in some sense a misnomer, since it never lands on Washington’s actual birthday, February 22.

Due to a nationwide shortage of tuna, Bushido must forgo offering our Spicy Tuna Hand Roll Challenge to would-be Warriors and Legends in an abrupt manner that will unfortunately continue for an indefinite period of time starting Monday, January 30th, 2012.

But fear not, those of you who wish to achieve greatness through self sacrifice, “The Challenge” will return! As the old saying goes, “There are other fish in the sea,” and we are on a quest to find that special addition which will fuse taste and heat in the way we have since we began nearly 5 years ago.

During the month of February, we will be researching the best way to proceed in maintaining the integrity of The Challenge, which earned us a reputation that put us on the Travel Channel’s Man Vs. Food television show.

Therefore, we make the Bushido vow to provide the best quality to our brave participants, whose stomachs of steel have propelled The Challenge’s popularity.

In this, you deserve only the best!

Be prepared… something spicy this way comes!!! Beware the Ides of March? Why March 5th? It just seems like a good day to announce the new look of the BEASTLY new way Bushido’s fans will get to know… and FEAR us!!!!

Sorry about the last minute glitch… we just found out about this development on Friday!

Charleston resident, Mark Yampolsky, has released his debut album, Forty Mile Detour. The CD features four songs: Maybe Next Time, Nashville, Boots and Too Few Lucky Dice.

Yampolsky is a lifelong guitar player and music lover. Mark says;

I started playing guitar when I was 10 years old and formed my first band at 13. I’d always hoped for a career in music, but life took me down a different road. I’ve been practicing periodontics for over 20 years.

His day job, however, doesn’t stop Yampolsky from living his passion. On weekends, he plays guitar and performs original songs as well as popular cover tunes. He’ll be playing in West Ashley this Friday, Jan. 27, 2012 at Charleston’s Bushido Japanese Restaurant for the Midnight Sushi event.

The journey to producing “Forty Mile Detour” involved many talented people. Yampolsky wrote the music and lyrics for all the songs. He also played guitar on the project. Yampolsky’s wife, Ellen, a gifted photographer, took the photos for the CD cover and for the website. The finished product is a compilation of commitment, talent and time.

Since its introduction, Forty Mile Detour has received positive comments from several individuals in the music industry:

Great lyrics… this music needs to be heard – Dick Asher, former President and CEO of Columbia and Polygram Records

…high-brow musicianship and song-crafting. – Patrick Davis, Nashville Singer/Songwriter

Sure to be a hit… – Jay Clifford, Lead Singer with Jump Little Children

Yampolsky hopes to take the rave reviews, to build on them and to write more songs in the future;

I am passionate about guitar and songwriting and hope to promote my lyrics and music to other artists to perform. Perhaps a second career as a songwriter is my next Forty Mile Detour.

People interested in hearing songs from “Forty Mile Detour” can find them on www.fortymiledetourmusic.com

Or, you can come to Bushido and enjoy his music, LIVE! Oh, and don’t forget to try our drink feature to accompany 1/2 price sushi. It’s called Chamake… a tasty blend of champagne and sake that will come in assorted flavors, and be only 4$ a glass!
