I THOUGHT I SAW THE DEVIL...
Yesterday brought about some hellified weather as the temps soared to about 90 degrees, complete with a shitload of humidity, the combination that I dread the most when living in the Big Apple. Going into last night, I had a big fear that with DOLLAR DRAFT MADNESS approaching (always a busy night), our AC unit would be severely tested. And sure enough, I got the dreaded call at about 10 pm. "AC is dead!".
Crap.
As it turns out, the AC unit wasn't dead, per se; just overwhelmed by the sheer masses of people crowding into a small space to enjoy cheap beer. Every time the crowd thinned out a bit, the AC would breathe some life into the bar... but when the place filled up again... back to the Sahara. I'm amazed at what some folks will put up with, all for the sake of a cold mug of cheap beer. It looks like we had a good night regardless of the cooling issues that took place.
In the meantime, I will assess the situation in the morning and see if I need to bring in the professionals to handle things. Hopefully just in time for PUB TRIVIA.
ON A SIDE NOTE: The last couple of days I've been talking about the achievements of MATT LONG in the Lake Placid Triathlon. I also feel the need to note that we had a couple of other friends of the bar who participated (and completed) triathlons over the weekend. Congrats to: T-BILL (3:26:04) and MATT COHEN (2:52:58), friends of Third and Long on a job well done in Sunday's NAUTICA NYC TRIATHLON! Anyone that could achieve what these guys did over the weekend gets the thumbs up in my book!

I drank about 60 beers over the weekend, that should be worth mentioning.
No, not really. Not really worth mentioning.
But I did do 60.
Hats off to those triatheletes!
B to the...
