no lite beer

When A squirrel goes to the Joynt and sees the sign...this is what happens.




I think that this little f'er must be Foamy. THE ONLY SQUIRREL my sister and I even tolerate. Yes, Foamy would be at the bar...ranting as usual.
AND DON'T EVEN THINK OF ORDERING A LITE BEER

MY fave bartender



This pic was posted to myspace...the Joynt. I don't quite know who it is that has that space, but I think I do know...
But a girl I know posted this photo with the caption
The best bartender.

Well...he's my favorite bartender too.

I need say no more.

People I Know...


OK...Left to right
Manas, Wes, Suzy, (girl bartender I forgot), Chris (in blue) Ted, don't know guy behind ted with mustache, Craig (with black tie), Mike (half hidden by Craig), Pat in white, Bill Nolte - bar keep extraordinare and Mike's wife( I think)

That's them. That's the gang behind the bar.
To Read about the bar itself...here's the first chapter excerpt from Toby Ceccini's book COSMOPOLITAN
