BACK TO THE OLD GRIND....

It's just after midnight on Monday and after a slow start, Dollar Draft Madness is kicking into full swing. The bar, once filled with diehard Detroit Red Wings fans, have since been replaced by college kids and gypsies. The college kids are your typical fratniks, who must have just gotten home for the summer and are meeting up with friends on the cheap.

On the other hand, the gypsies are gathered together like a pack of hounds, trying to impress the ladies in the bar by wearing knock-off designer duds and donning sunglasses in the dark. One guy in particular, is trying to raise his "street cred" by making announcements to the whole bar about getting a big promotion at work and buying everyone a round of drinks.

(Keep in mind that this is dollar draft night)

This could get funny. What an idiot.

On another note, just met the most interesting woman. Her name is Hillary Atkin, and she's in the entertainment industry. She happened to be walking by and stopped in for a drink. We started talking and as it turns out, she's a pretty cool and down-to-earth young woman. She saw me writing on the blog and offered to share her blog with me and I have to say, I was pretty impressed. Check it out and tell me what you think: THE ATKIN REPORT. I'm always amazed at the people we meet here.

Overall, the bar is churning along nicely. At least for Memorial Day.


UPDATE: Remember the Gypsy Boys I spoke about earlier? After spending most of the evening trying to play the role of "Big Ballers", it came time to pay the bill. And when the bill arrived, all of a sudden, the "Big Ballers" weren't so big after all. After much bickering between the Boys and the staff and the Boys among themselves, they finally paid their bill.

Wankers.


Tomorrow: Back to the old grind.


Nuff said.
