I had more fun than I should have this weekend.
I stepped back behind the bar at Lava Vodka Lounge on Friday night for the first time since early January. It's not a regular gig; I was just covering a shift due to the busy-ness of the Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival.
I was rusty, but had a lot of fun. Especially since we had an extension on the liquor license, allowing us to be open until 4AM (normal closing time is 2AM).
On Saturday, I was on the opposite side of the bar at Lava, but once again took advantage of the 4AM extension (or maybe the 4AM extension took advantage of me & my wallet). Ross Neilsen & the Sufferin' Bastards were rawkin' the stage in the pub on the other side of the bar, so it was all good.
Not to be done in by 4AM bar closings, a bunch of us rolled over to the rugby club to cheer on our friend/former teammate Jebb Sinclair in the game against France in the Rugby World Cup.
More than 40 people showed up to the clubhouse to watch the game. About half of us pulled the all-nighter, while the other (more sensible?) half of the crowd went to bed early, work up early, and walked in with coffee.
The result in the game wasn't what we hoped, but the Canadian boys played a spirited match & we were all very proud of them. The final score definitely did not reflect the tightness of the game, with almost 1/3 of France's points being scored in the final 7-8 minutes.
My Saturday night finally came to a close at about 8AM. I had foresight with regards to that, however; as shown by the following conversation from 9PM the night before:
Fergus: Are you going to watch the game at club later?
Me: Heck yeah. I even packed sunglasses in my pocket for the morning.
Fergus: That's a veteran move.
So yeah. Foresight.
And more fun than one person should be allowed to have.

In fishy news, yes, I have been fishing. Not with the results of last week, however. But I've been fishing. More on that later this week.

Here's some music. It's different. It's catchy.
