St. Patrick's Day turned out to be a fun-filled affair, blessed with great weather and minimal problems (which is always good). Credit the Third and Long staff for a job well done, keeping the patrons refreshed with drink, pumping great tunes most of the night and most importantly, keeping everyone safe while letting them have a good time.
The only blemish/casualty from the day was the loss of my camera, which suffered an untimely death when it got knocked out of the hands of one of my friends as he was trying to take some pics for the blog. While I was able to get some pictures taken before the untimely fall, it looks like the end has come for the camera as it no longer works. So there will be no pics for awhile (until I get another camera). To see the few pics that were salvaged from St. Pat's day, check them out on our FACEBOOK page.
Some notable things from the day:
* Why is it that folks seem to always want to challenge you when you ask for their ID? Everyone knows you need one to get into a bar, so instead of being a drama queen, save the energy spent on the unnecessary drama for the drinking you could be doing once you get inside!
* To the dim-witted kid who got nailed trying to sneak in booze in a Pepsi bottle: If you were so intent on "dropping mad loot in our bar", why was it such a big deal to simply throw out your bottle of "Pepsi"?. Idiot.
*Then there was the young lady from Jersey who was the spitting image of the Bride of Chucky: Having a crusty looking whale-tail being your calling card is bad enough. But to have that AND no teeth.... deal breaker. Sorry.
*To our dear British friend, THAT DAY BARTENDER: It's probably not a good idea to pepper the cop's face with spittle when trying to befriend him. It IS however, a very good idea to walk away when the same cop insists that you just that. I'm just sayin'.
*Two years later and I still don't get the curvy-girl/tight leggings fascination. Don't they get the fact that it's just wrong?
*Tall hats in a bar should be outlawed during any holiday celebration (St. Patrick's Day, New Year's Eve, Purim, etc.).
*Thumbs up to the porta-potty outside the bar. It was my friend.
*Yes all of you big spenders out there, Dollar Drafts will be back next week. I promise.
Oh, and to the black chick I saw with the HUGE boobs and the "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" t-shirt.... Right On! If only my camera was still working....
TONIGHT: Wednesday Night Pub Trivia returns with a "March Madness" theme and a special guest host: Our own SCUBA STEVE, the Wednesday Night bartender! He's putting his money where his mouth is and hosting tonight's festivities. Don't forget, registration begins at 7pm, fun starts at 8! Great prizes to be won (t-shirts, promo crap and of course, Bar Tabs!) and fun to be had!
AFTERWARDS, we'll be conducting our draw for the Third and Long Hoops Madness Pool! Premise is simple: Select a team and if your NCAA team wins the tournament, you win a Bar Tab. How big is your tab? It all depends on how many times you watch your team at the bar! The more you catch your team at Third and Long, the more your free bar tab grows! FREE to enter (one selection per person)!
And speaking of MARCH MADNESS, you can catch EVERY game of the NCAA tournament at THIRD and LONG, home of hoops and NHL hockey!
See everyone tonight!
