Today is July 1 and it feels like summer is flying by yet I don't feel as if we have anything to show for it. Maybe it's because of all of the rain we've gotten in June- it has definitely robbed us of some good weekends. Oh well, I guess it means that we (or at least I) have to make up for it by having a stellar July/August. Hmmmm... What can I do to achieve that? As I let the hamster wheel turn on that one I can say that I had the pleasure of getting visits from a couple "Blasts from the Past" yesterday. First on the list was ANGEL, one of our original SUNDAY BREW CREW members. She moved away back in April and has been traveling/studying in Europe for the last few months. She's in town for the holiday weekend and she looked very tan and great! It was great listening to her adventures during her stay there and she's still as funny as ever.
Later in the evening, in the midst of a crowded and sweaty bar who emerges from the crowd, looking like Billy Dee Williams (without the hair), cool as a cucumber? None other than GOLDIE, another original member of the SUNDAY BREW CREW! Turns out he's in town on business and decided to pop in with a client. He's looking well and fatherhood has treated him well. He has a beautiful baby daughter and she's the light of his life. Good stuff.
Speaking of the evening, I was worried about the prospects of our evening due to the nice little rainstorm we received right around rush hour (surprise, surprise). However, the rain gods let up and the bar soon filled up with thirsty interns and tourists and it turned out to be a good night after all. Earlier in the day I had the AC unit cleaned out and thank god I did because it came in handy as the bar reached capacity.
Here's an interesting observation: I often hang out near the stairwell, usually to observe the happenings of the bar but also to make sure no one takes a tumble down the stairs as they go to the bathroom. While we have signs posted letting folks know to watch their step, I like to make sure to tell folks to be careful anyway. Every so often when I say to someone "Be careful when going down the stairs", I'll get a frown or a smart comment from that patron. And sure enough, more often than not that same person ends up on their ass. Interesting how that works out.
Another observation: More and more, I'm starting to notice more fashion trends skewing towards to 80's retro look and I gotta be honest, I'm not liking it one bit. Some trends need to be left in the past.
PUB TRIVIA is in effect tonight with this week's theme being USA, in honor of upcoming 4th of July holiday weekend. Registration starts at 7pm, fun starts at 8 and as always, it's free to play with great prizes to be had! Winning team also qualifies for the upcoming Tournament of Champions in August!
