Aside from the lovely little ditty I described in the previous post, here are some highlights from the rest of this weekend.
Saturday night started slowly as the neighborhood seemed rather quiet, most likely due to the strange placing of 4th of July. Because the 4th falls on a Wednesday this year, folks are either taking this weekend to be part of their "long holiday weekend" (Sat-Thurs) or next weekend (Wed-Sun). In any case, it makes for a weird time for the city's bars and clubs, and a slow time for the city in general.
Things picked up a bit after midnight when a slew of groups came strolling in. One group in particular included a rather large bachelorette party; this party wasn't your typical lame party with girls wearing cheezy tee-shirts. Oh no, no, no.... This group came in, maybe eight deep, all hot, slim and tanned, yelling and screaming and blowing horns. They immediately strolled to the back of the bar and sat near the "Champagne Room" and began to do erotic lap dances on the Bride-to-Be, much to the chagrin of every red-blooded male in the bar.
By the time they finished entertaining the crowd, the place was buzzing. Things got interesting again later in the evening when another patron came in. This time, this was a solo fly-by but just as intriguing. So intriguing that I have to list it as a "Blind Item"....
So this woman shows up to the bar. Age range: 40+. Slightly inebriated (okay, pretty drunk). Not too bad looking for her age. The typical Cougar. Begins asking for a specific male. Asked if I'd seen this person. Said that she met him prior and they ended up hooking up. Called it the "Best sex she'd had in years". Wanted to hook up again. Was very disappointed when she realized he wasn't there. I told her she looked like she was blushing- she blamed it on post-menstrual syndrome. WTF? Totally stunned by who "he" was.....
Then there were the wannabe gangster kids. A group of about ten Long-Island gel-heads showed up at the bar, looking to come in and chill out. Problem was that they all had the spiky Gotti-boys look; peppered with gold chains and striped shirts. Out of the ten, eight got in; they tried very hard to lobby for the other two to get in- but when you're born 8-9-88, then chances aren't very good for you to get into this bar. On top of that, if you are going to use "Jacob the Jeweler" as the name you're trying to drop to impress me (I think he said he was his cousin), then you need to get your ass beat, just on principle alone. WTF?
FUNNIEST LINE OVERHEARD AT THE BAR: "Damn, I'm harder than Chinese Arithmetic"...
I spent part of Sunday with two of my favorite girls, BABY GIRL and REDSKINS GIRL, as we took in brunch at the ol' BANC CAFE. Once again, the meal was great, the atmosphere was very relaxing and best of all, brunch for three cost me less than 40 bucks. Giddy-up!
I then checked out LIVE FREE or DIE HARD with BRUCE WILLIS. It was REDSKINS GIRL'S choice and she had a lot of making up to do after the last movie she selected (the widely panned DE JA VU, with DENZEL WASHINGTON).
Now if you are a fan of the DIE HARD movies, then you'll truly enjoy this one as it is probably the most entertaining of the previous three (maybe except for the first one). If you are going in expecting a realistic portrayal of police activity, you'll be disappointed as this movie rates a "2" for believability. However, for sheer edge-of-your-seat entertainment, I'd give this movie a "9" easily. It's a bit long, but overall, a fun movie to watch. Perfect for a summer day.
Spent the rest of the weekend working on bar-related stuff and planning for the upcoming week. And by the way, FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS is simply hilarious.
*RULE CHANGE ON COMMENTS: I am now instituting a new rule as it pertains to comments. I will no longer allow for anonymous comments on the board. While I have no problem with people posting comments in general (positive or negative), and I encourage you to continue to do so, you will now have to put your name behind your comments. No more hiding behind the "anonymous" tag. As they say in the big leagues, "Man-up"!
DOLLAR DRAFT MADNESS is back! $1.00 Bud/Bud Light mugs, beginning at 4pm. Look for new drink specials in the next few days!
No post on Monday as I am working the day shift. Have a great week!

It's kind of amateur-ish to not allow anonymous posts. You write a public blog which is great and you get public feedback. What's next, you have to "approve" comments.
The one cool thing about this blog is the impromptu comments, don't be so serious, as your charm is about rolling with it. Remember when the subjects got upset with your post, how about following your advice to said patron.

I don't think there's any harm in simply asking you to put a name behind any comments you make, negative or positive. You can still be as impromptu as you want to be.
Besides, with a name like "Harry Ballstein", who knows how creative one could be... ;)
Oh this will limit my commenting during work time. I try not to log in at work if I can help it. Last thing I want to be fired for is reading blogs all day long.
