I found myself up earlier than usual this morning so I decided to go out and knock out as many things on my to-do list as possible. I have a busy night lined up at the bar so if I could get as much I can done early enough, that would give me a couple of hours to myself before tackling the activities of the night.
As I made my way around the borough, ticking off my to-do list, I couldn't help but to notice all of the stressed out faces all around me. At first I couldn't figure out why I was getting the stink eye from practically everyone who passed me. Finally, after overhearing a frantic phone call, it dawned on me: April 15th..... Tax Day.
This is the day that most Americans dread. Time to file with Uncle Sam. Most of us put off this task until the last minute and as a result, when that dreaded day comes, everyone is running around frantic, trying to get all of the paperwork together and sent out by the midnight deadline. I don't understand why we create such drama for ourselves. We all know when this stuff is due, and we have plenty of time to get it done. Yet we still procrastinate and procrastinate until the last minute, then make that mad dash to the accountant's office or the post office, trying to beat the deadline, as if we're trying to defuse a bomb with :03 seconds left on the clock. Crazy stuff. Well, here's hoping that everyone gets their taxes done on time and more importantly, that you get some moolah back from Uncle Sammy.
Last night's edition of Pub Trivia was a well-attended affair, with plenty of new faces. Many of the new faces were there to support our new bartender, Elisha and it was a good night for everyone as a result.
FIRE MARSHALL ED, newbie Elisha, SCUBA STEVE and DOOLEY DO-RIGHT getting their game plan together before Pub Trivia.
ON ANOTHER NOTE: One of our friends of the bar just got nominated for a "Webby Award" for a video he did on Matt Long's journey to run in a marathon. Support him by voting for his video (click on "Webby Award" link and vote for "26.2 or Die" in the Sports category)
TONIGHT: "Thirsty Thursdays", featuring $4 domestic drafts (5-10pm). There is also a BROOKLYN PENNANT ALE Promotion tonight (8pm-10pm), featuring samples of the famous PENNANT ALE, giveaways, etc. Sponsored by Brooklyn Brewery!
More importantly, NHL PLAYOFFS continues tonight with three big matchups: MONTREAL vs WASHINGTON, BOSTON vs BUFFALO (7pm), and VANCOUVER vs LOS ANGELES (10pm)! $4 Molson Canadian drafts and Molson Golden/Labatt Blue bottles during ALL NHL PLAYOFF telecasts! I expect to see a strong showing from my fellow HABS fans!
That's It. That's All I Got.
