FRIDAY PHOTO OPS....

Last night was a disappointing night... if you were a MET fan. Most people were expecting a victory and came to the bar pumped up for a big game. And for the most part, victory was in their grasp. But fate would rear its ugly head and as a result, the fans were disappointed as ST. LOUIS pulled out an improbable 9-6 victory. In the meantime, we had our share of vintage photo ops; nothing like Thursday, mind you, but still comical nevertheless.

MET faithful pumped up for action...

Confidence growing as the METS storm out to a lead...

Shock and disbelief as their team is on their way to defeat...

During the game I happened to walk outside and noticed someone sitting on the stoop on the side of the building. No big deal... or so I thought. I walk closer to the stoop and notice that this individual is sprawled out on the steps. "Oh great" I thought. Some crackhead or homeless person is using the stoop as a rest stop.


I get closer and realize that this isn't a homeless person or crackhead (then again who knows), but some young chick, passed out drunk.



So I say to her "OY! You'll have to move along! You can't sleep here!" She looks up at me, sleepy like and nods off. I repeated myself, at which she finally begins to move about, fixing her pants in the process. By this time, I notice a trail of wetness going away from where she's sitting. As she struggles to get up, I realize what's happening: She decided to use the stoop as her own private toilet! WTF!




Now I've been the bar business for quite a few years and I've yet to understand how people allow themselves to get to this point. I like to enjoy a good pint or two, just like anyone else; however, I usually know when to say I've had enough. Time and time again, I come across situations where people are drunk to the point where they are clearly not doing sensible things (like taking a squat on someone's stoop). I just don't get it...

So she finally gets up and begins to make her way back up the block towards 3rd Ave. Her friend finds her and she's frantically upset, what about, I don't know. As they go to hug each other, they bang heads and both fall to the ground. Apparently the friend had a beef with security from another bar and they were thrown out.


Somehow the cops get involved and eventually they get arrested for public drunkenness or something strange like that. Shocker! And this is early in the evening! Not even 10pm! I guess someone enjoyed a very happy hour. You can't make this stuff up.



BABY GIRL stopped by the bar with her brother to kick off her birthday weekend. I get this strange feeling that she's going to be a mess. Her birthday celebration tend to last for days... Should be fun!

And finally, file this under DO NOT SHARE TEXT MESSAGES WITH STRANGERS WHEN YOU'RE DRUNK file:


Some drunk person (whom shall remain nameless)decided to share this text message with me. This person thought it was hilarious. Kinda made me say "Hmmmmmm... TMI"
