Their Summer, Our Storyline

Whereas winter is simply endured, summer is enjoyed with storylines. Summer may appear as bunnies and bunny chasers consuming outdoor drinks… The storyline is the venue competition… Summer may appear as a crush of people relishing one spectacular event after another… The storyline is the power which is gained and lost as the events commence and conclude…

Ostensibly, Martini and a Makeover was this evening’s subject… The event was respectable… Yes, the heifers outweighed (pun intended) the bunnies and the atmosphere was subdued… However, Lodge Bar once again showcased their promotional genius… No venue in this city concocts more unique events and no venue is better at emphasizing the spirit of those events via decor… Tonight’s balloons and pink martini glasses and tablecloths were simply exquisite…

Tonight’s crowd was excrement… It wasn’t simply the sparse bunny population; it was the complete randomness of those occupying conversations and tables… The movie moron, who actually wore a Ray Finkel t-shirt (yes, that would be from the Ace Ventura movie)… The blitzed bunny, who ultimately performed lewd acts with a piece of furniture… And the plus size, no plus is kind, the gargantuan heifer who was wearing a dress that made me ask one question… Who shot the curtains? The crowd was among the worst I have seen in this city (not in numbers, simply in texture)…

Among the very best of anything I have seen in this city was Lodge Bar Promotions Superstar and bartender Jen Bunny, who stole the evening with her scrumptious curled hair and pink and white striped candy cane clothing ensemble… I know I discuss Crown Princess Kadi frequently and I wouldn’t if she didn’t deserve it… But, Jen Bunny is the category of candy who is worth one’s moments… She is more intricately wrapped… Yet, infinitely sweeter…

While Jen was the preeminent evening visual, the preeminent conversation was Lodge Bar General Manager Pat West… Our chat covered upcoming events, reality stars, why venues act as they act, why venue executives act as they… I’ve said this before, but it absolutely cannot be said enough… Pat is one of the most intelligent people I deal with…

As I walked Vine Street at the conclusion of my evening, I observed the clutches of bunnies and bunny chasers scattered across the sidewalks… What drinks did they consume and what venue profited the most? What events did they hear about and mentally mark on their calendar and who will accrue power as a result?
