DAAAAA Bears!

Ok, another groggy Wednesday...but last night was WELL worth it!! Shout out to the folks from Chicago....some of the out of towners who stopped by Kelly's and stayed with us till the end!! They were so much fun and very complimentary - even drove the tip jar around for us! We had a really good time last night, great group of drinkers (like the afore mentioned Cub fans) and a really nice group of "bug" people from a company called Pest Defense. They were in town for a conference or meeting of some sort and were staying at the Hilton. Clearwater Beach...Great place for a business trip, huh? We also had a couple regulars out and about, KC and Chuck and of course Ralph was tending bar! Speaking of Ralph, he bent over to pick something up and the poor guy SPLIT his pants right down the left pocket! Thank God he was wearing a lovely pair of grey underwear - at least I'm assuming they were grey and not just a really dingy white! He was at a loss as to what to do cause it was pretty busy - hard to take a break and try to sew it up. So Sean yelled out, "Got any duct tape?" ...worked like a charm! We also had a young lady in a very tiny pink dress who was dancing ALL NIGHT! She was QUITE a trip and those of you who were there can back me up, she had the most interesting way of dancing - most unique I think I've ever seen. But she was having a good time and that was all we can ask for...after all, that's why we're there!! We played a few new tunes, Promises by Eric Clapton (one of my all time favorite songs), It's My Life by Talk Talk (or No Doubt, depending on how old you are!) and Much too Young by Garth Brooks. We also changed up our song order to keep things interesting for the bartenders - I'm sure they get sick of hearing the same songs in the same order!! A few changes can really help keep things fresh I guess, cause overall it was one of the best nights so far. Hope to see YOU there next Tuesday!!
