THEY'RE BAAAAAACK!!!

Wednesday is "D-Day" for soccer fans as we head into the Semi-Finals of EURO '08. The first match features heavily favored GERMANY and the cinderella-story team from TURKEY. Match begins at 2:30pm and if recent history is any indication, then I expect the bar to be filled to the rafters with hardcore Turkish fans, ready to cheer their team to an improbable victory. Part of me looks forward to the match, just to see the passion of the fans; The other part of me is anticipating a mild sense of chaos, as the Turkish fans can be a handful to deal with. Hopefully their band of hot female fans will show up, ready to go. Definitely pleasing to the eyes at the very least. And if you are truly my friend, then you'll show up in time for the match to help protect me from this zealous lot (just kidding.... somewhat).

TUESDAY NIGHT was a busy one for yours truly. The early part of my night was spent at dinner with my co-manager and our bosses, talking "shop" over a hearty meal at SMITH and WOLLENSKY'S, one of Manhattan's more popular steakhouses. Food was good (I had the salmon, as always), conversation was good; no complaints at all. Got a lot of work accomplished too.

Afterwards, we headed back to the bar so that I could check in on DOLLAR DRAFT MADNESS. The bar was teeming with suits and wannabe hipsters. Half of the suits were of the Intern variety, of course. My doorman was filling me in on how many underaged punks he turned away, many of them using fake id's or trying to use their big brother/sister's old driver's licenses. As a matter of fact, before heading out to dinner, I also had an opportunity to turn away a group of potential patrons because a few of them had fakes on them. What can I say? It's that time of year.





There were a lot of strange and bizarre folks hanging out for the cheap beers; I guess that's to be expected when you invite all of New York City to join us for dollar drafts. We ended up bouncing a few folks out for drunken behavior, but aside from that, most of the night went smoothly.
