With Memorial Day Weekend come and gone, this is the downside of having a holiday weekend. The "Hangover" as I like to call it. I've written about this phenomenon time and time again on how the entertainment business experiences a drop after a long, holiday weekend. That's usually due to the fact that most folks are either physically wiped out from partying hard all weekend or broke from doing said thing. And on top of that, it's the beginning of June, which means rent's due; folks are moving in/out of new apartments, so funds are a bit tight. So if the foot traffic is a bit light on the 3rd Avenue strip this week, that's probably the reason why. It's the nature of
things in this business; it is what it is.
By the end of the week, things will be back to normal. It always does. In the meantime, we still continue to bring the fun to the people, starting with PUB TRIVIA tonight, where you and your friends compete against other teams for cool prizes such as bar tabs, drinks and cool bar swag! It's free to play and always a great time.
It's also Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Will Philadelphia answer the bell after falling behind 2-0 in the series? Stay tuned. Game starts at 8pm.
$15 Miller High Life buckets and $4 Mixed Well Drinks (for ladies) should help quench the thirst while competing for top honors in Trivia! Hope to see everyone there!
AND FINALLY: A quick story from the weekend. After Game 2 on Monday night, the bar cleared out, sans a group of Canadians playing beer games in the back of the bar, a group of drinkers in the front end of the bar, and our resident visitor from Wales hanging out by himself in the middle of the bar.
This short blonde female strolled in and I stop her just as she's about to sit at the bar. She was cute, put together very well in the right places, but had an attitude that would make milk curdle. I asked for her ID and you would have thought I'd asked her to leave the country. She wasn't very happy about me doing my job but gave me her ID anyway. After proofing her (she was from South Africa, from all places), she sat down at the bar and placed her bag between herself and our friend from Wales; clearly giving the signal that she wanted no part of him (or anyone for that matter).
Within minutes however, these two went from not having anything to do with one another, to slowly breaking the ice, to full-blown making out at the bar. It was surreal to say the least and when she jumped in our friend's lap and began whispering/chewing his ear, we were in shock. We've never seen our friend from Wales hook up with anything but beer; and now he was about to slay some serious dragons! Sure enough, within minutes, she was dragging him out of the bar and began to make out with him outside before dragging him into a cab and driving off. We all were dumbfounded at the strange turn of events. The whole sequence lasted all of about fifteen minutes. I shit you not.
You can't make this stuff up, I tell ya. You simply can't.
That's It. That's All I Got.
