Time to sling....
Hey there.. Today was another long day of all things bar related. Started with some work at a research company downtown. I was asked to take part in a study put on by a vodka company. They brought in three of us bartenders from around San Diego for a 90 minute discussion on the current trends of vodka sales and drinkers. The other two bartenders where from establishments that are nearly polar opposites of Searsucker. A gay bar in Pt.Loma and a lesbian bar in Hillcrest. Talk about different perspectives! Bartending is a broad field that encompasses many different types of people. The moderator compared us to Anthropologists. Not quite sure if that sticks or not, but after hearing these other two bartenders talk simply about the different trends they see in their places made me realize that what is true for me might not be true just across town. Good lessons learned!
Then it was on to the restaurant two hours early for meetings. A lengthy tasting for some potential new product at Burlap and then a sit down with my boss. All before my shift! Finally home around 3:30 am, and now at 4:30, it's time for bed! Big day tomorrow...so until then...
Cheers!
