Follow the daily interactions of an affable bar manager of pretty cool and not-so-typical watering hole in NYC, in a not-so-typical neighborhood, Murray Hill. There may be some blurbs overheard at the bar, stimulating observations and random thoughts on random things. So be careful, you never know what might end up here....Enjoy and welcome to my world!

BOOZE and BOARD GAMES
This was the first Sunday without football and what better way to get through the break between the Championship games and the Super Bowl? Have a BOOZE and BOARD GAME day. So I put the word out to the Brew Crew to show up with games and we'd make the best of an otherwise slow day.
The Crew began to trickle in at around 2:30pm, led by AFRIKA BAMBATTA, MR. CHIPS and T-BILL. Slowly but surely, the rest of the gang began to arrive and next thing you know, everyone was up for playing SCATTERGORIES. DIRTY SANCHEZ showed up with his Nintendo Wii game system and we hooked it up in the back of the bar. Next thing you know, everyone's playing baseball, bowling, tennis, golf; we even got MR. CHIPS to do what he's been harping on doing for months: box someone (in this case, it was an imaginary person on the video game- MR. CHIPS lost, btw).
Back to the board games for a moment; Leave it to NAPOLEON DYNAMITE to find a way to make a board game a way to make some money. He somehow got the BREW CREW to compete with each other in a game of Scattergories with cash on the line. The game got loud and heated very quickly (these guys are very competitive) and it got to the point where we eventually had to disband the game so that no one would get a heart attack.

An afternoon of games wouldn't be complete without some hot chicks....
All in all, it was a very successful afternoon. A good time had by all.
MR.CHIPS- the walking billboard...
"Haaaaaaay!"

You seem to like to write the blog, it hasn't lost anything.
I thought for sure I would get the award for "drop dead sexiest" brew crew member, but I guess you can't give it to me EVERY year. I will proudly take wine and cheese award instead....

Priceless!
