Meet Pleasure Island's Newest Bartender!!!
Ok, so really, I just started training last night. And it'll be a slow going process to get all my training, but I finally have behind the bar experience.
I was supposed to be the club host last night at Motion, but we had an extra magic hours guy and he was useless. In theory, this meant that I would have had a lot more work to do - but I couldn't stand to be around him, so Bruce told me to hide behind the bar.
Emi and I started talking about how I do want to bartend one day, and so she made me start making drinks. She gave me her number and let me ring on her register and tend beside her all night. Yay!
Along the way, met some cool kids and the night got interesting. A whole group of "regulars" were around and watching me, and then they started giving me pointers - and then I find out that two of them (perhaps 3, I'm not sure) work at HOB. Bubba, Sage, their hair dresser friend Liz, a couple tattoo artists - they're all standing at one end of my bar telling me exactly how to bartend. It was a lot of fun. Need to go visit them; but I may be going out to Motion tonight too. Not sure yet.
All in all, a fantastic night and I need to have it more often. I was so excited to actually be behind a bar and working in their territory - it means a lot to me that they let me back there.
What an awesome night. Dinner with Jess tonight; and then hopefully heading out for a bit to meet up with some kids.

Congrats on the BT gig. Yeah, I work Friday as mid manager. Should be done by 10-ish. We've got a sold-out The Academy Is . . . show and I might make an appearance. Emo. How amusing. You doing Flogging Molly next Friday? They're doing that instore at Virgin before their gig. May do both . . .
Give me a call tomorrow if you're so inclined to do so. I'm in at 4.
