Closing Time

"Well, it was a sad weekend for the owners of Oliver Campbells Bar in Middletown, CT. Tracy and Bill Campbell were two of the best bar owners I have worked for- and are completely SALT OF THE EARTH people. It was a tearful and sad goodbye for these owners who had to deal with more BS in the two years that they had this bar then most owners of any company deal with in a lifetime."

"Cristina...I will miss our Coyote Ugly Nights and dancing on the bar on Saturday night was the height of absolute craziness....
No more hip hop peeps slamming down drinks, pounding on the bar, slapping my arms, yelling at bartenders, and the list goes on and on ... too many stories to tell in one email ..." ---> Ditto Sarah

"It sure was an entertaining evening! Cristina, thanks for watching my back with the guy who politely asked, "Sarah, what is your drug of choice?" ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Whatever! If I learned anything, it is that the less clothing, the more tips! And that guys always notice when you get your hair done ....
Right, Cristina? Hey, if my genetics can improve my financial future, then why not do it up!!! LOL!" Sarah - I cannot believe the same "drug of choice" dude said he wanted to hit my apple bottom. Yah and Friday night w/ Digital 12 Entertainment guy trying to get up in my stuff when we were Coyote Ugly - if he only knew.

"Anyhow, Bill and Tracy Campbell really had an affect on us...so much so that they want Cristina and I to move to Arizona with them....so, the contemplating begins right now .....
I love bartending and if I could do that for my full time job, I probably would. It was a tearful goodbye as we have all bonded like a family and have endured some really tough nights together...much of which cannot be explained unless you were there. Saturday night was surreal .... everything that could have gone bad went bad and if any of you have ever seen me mad, kick it up 10 notches (and then the "Bearded Wonder" pisses me off which if you know me, you know that it takes a LOT to piss me off like that - I could have taken him, at least I was mad enough that I thought I could have) because of the "Bearded Wonder...." (That is Bill's name for him at least!)."

"One last call for alcohol
So finish your whiskey or beer
...
You don't have to go home
But you can't stay here
...
So gather up your jackets
Move it to the exits
I hope you have found a friend"


I have found new friends in this experience with Tracy & Bill and "the crew" - gotta love me some Mary and thank Bill and Tracy for this wonderful experience and opportunity. I love you guys.
