I'm not dead, I feel fine! Lot's more to say, but it's just a sad loss, and a wasted opportunity. Truly. I was not surprised by the news, perhaps by the timing. The die was cast early for me and while it is sad Frisco has no Vic's I cannot say the loss is so great. We had some good times there, just not enough. My last visit during last year's Crawl was the most special as I enjoyed an entertaining and informative tour of the place by my favorite old Vic's bartender (after Lars, and sunshine Sonya...oh and Jim too, but other than them, my fave!). It's a melancholy feeling, more regret over what should have been than sorrow over the actual closing. To the future and make mine a China Clipper, or a Nui Ni....oh, a Jet Pilot! Support my local tiki bar, even if it's far...far away. midnite
