I'm having fun using Squarespace to completely reinvent ChrisTheBartender. It'll likely be another week before I'm up and running.
In the meantime, check out my new bar supply store. Pretty happy about that. Get your flair practice bottles and tins there so you can stop breaking glass and start annoying your downstairs neighbors.
I said I'd be back in May. And I am a man of my word. Even if those words occasionally come out slurred by an Old Fashioned.
I'm still about a week away from totally pulling back the curtain, but I'm really excited with how things are looking. Total site redesign. Chris The Bartender will be a lot more user friendly and have all kinds of new crazy content coming. You can learn about wine, beer, new drinks, more flair moves, and even shop around a store to buy flair gear and bartending goodies. And dare I say a DVD in the works? Am I writing checks my butt can't cash? A bartender would never lie to you, would he?
So, like any good bartender, I'm whetting your appetite. Before I get you sauced. On information. Here's two new videos to keep you busy until next week. Enjoy, and as always, practice practice!
Hello, dear reader. You may have noticed I've missed the last couple Filthy Fridays and Monday's Flair moves. I noticed, too. Truth is, I'm taking a break. Just a hiatus. I really want to make the site better, add some new features, overhaul the design, and get back to talking a little more about bartending, drinks, customers, etc. So, I'm taking a vacation. For about 2 months. I hope not to lose your readership - I've been surprised lately how much readership has actually grown. But, like I said, I want to make ChrisTheBartender.com even better.
If you want an email "heads up" for when ChrisTheBartender returns in full force, shoot me an email to barspecials at gmail dot com and write "Chris The Bartender" in the subject line.
And if you're a fan of the flair videos, you can still see them (and new ones) on YouTube. Just search for "Flair Bartending Basics" or "Flair Bartending Lessons." You'll find me.
Love you, readers! Thank you for your patronage. See you again in May!
Sincerely,
Chris The Bartender
So this has nothing to do with bartending. However, as a flair bartender, I've got mad respect for other entertainers who absolutely nail their craft, however bizarre that craft might be. I stumbled across this unicyclist on YouTube. I can watch her over and over again. Around 1:25, she just takes off. Ridiculous. Time for me to take my unicycle out of storage - got something to work for now.
And then there's the pizza tossers.
Thanks to Kevin for sending me an article about Bar2D2, a robotic bartender. It looks pretty schnazzy. So now on top of competing for jobs with 19 year-old girls with fake boobs, I've got robots to worry about. Here's to hoping personality goes a long way...
