I led off at happy hour at Blind Bear last night, with new bartender Mary. She’s been trained by Colin, she’s been trained by Jeannette, she’s been trained by B-RAD… now it was time for the regulars to train her, to tell her about the cast of characters she’s going to encounter at her bar. Fellow regular Nate and I took on that responsibility last night. “You’re going to have an Indian guy named Rahul come in here,” Nate told her. “He likes fruit in his drinks. You have to go to Memphis Farmers Market and buy fruit for Rahul on Saturday mornings, or he’ll get all pouty.”
Jeannette took over night bar at 7. “I knew your blog was powerful, but I didn’t realize it had THAT much power,” she told me. “In one weekend’s time you totally brought duck farts back.” Apparently the Bear sold a massive amount of duck farts over the weekend. I thought it would take an entire month, at least. Sounds like my work is already done.
The USA women’s team plays Nigeria tonight. Weather permitting for my walk down there and back, Max’s Sports Bar sounds like an ideal place to watch the match. I like being in there on Tuesdays because Max himself usually bartends and it is good to catch up with what has been going on in his world. I should be down there by 6 if anyone wants to meet up.
Possibly a second post after work, so check back.
