Oh yeah, we headed over to Minnie's for a nightcap New Years' eve around 10:30. We're upstairs at a table, there's 10 of us. It's just a few tables, a dance floor and a bar with about 7 lounging barflies. The bartender can see that we're havin' a good time so he says,"If you folks have somethin' you wanna hear, just let me know" I feel this is a very nice gesture, so I sashay up to the bar and pull out The Astroglides cd from my pocket. My friend says, "Hey, I can't believe you gotta cd in your pocket"..."If you have a boiled egg I'll give you 50 dollars." HAHA! So anyway I give the cd to the bartender and the first song comes on and plays about 30 seconds and he turns it off. I walk back up to the bar and says,"Hey what the hell? Is Minnie's not tiki? Is that not a surfboard I see hangin' on the wall over there?" The bartender says, "yup Minnie's is tiki" I says "okay then put it back in!" Meanwhile one of the lady barflies says "Hey give the guy a chansh, givem a braek will ya'" So he puts it back in and plays 2 tracks then takes it out again. What the F%$^K? So I just went over and took it back. Some guys just don't get it. They want to hear the sameoldfamiliarshit...livin'inthepast crap. But at least I had the lady barfly on my side.
Here's to you Ran!! For kickasssurfguitar music! :drink: :drink:
