So we’re more than halfway through this NaBloPoMo thing I signed up for last month and hopefully all five of you have enjoyed reading something new each and every day. If I make it to the end of the month I might win a prize! Yippee!
The Sandbar is a member of the Beer Lover’s Group on the NaBloPoMo site. {Yes, I know I don’t drink beer, in fact I despise beer, but I really wanted to join a group and that was the only group that I could find that the Sandbar sort of fit into, because this isn’t a mommy blog or a knitting blog and I thought perhaps I could find some new beers for those of you who do like beer}.
Jill from the beer group tagged me with this meme. I’ve never done this before, at least on the blog, so I thought it might be fun to play.
The Rules:
- Link to the person who tagged you and post the rules on your blog.
- Share 7 random and/or wierd things about yourself.
- Tag 7 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.
- Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
Seems simple enough.
- The Sandbar is haunted by a real ghost. The story will be told in an upcoming post that I’ve been too lazy to write thus far.
- The Sandbar has keg root beer on tap. Yes, root beer. Pity the poor
foolbeer sales rep who lost a tap to root beer. - Our front windows are rigged to open on a garage door opener.
- We have a beach upstairs complete with a beach-scene mural and actual sand.
- The legal capacity of The Sandbar is 49 people. We have never, and I repeat never, had more than 49 people in the bar at one time.
- The Pitch awarded us "Best Bizarre Bar Show" for our indoor hurricane attraction. They probably made up the category so they could give us a prize. We also won "Best Drink Trinket" this year.
- Peter Mayer, Jimmy Buffett’s guitarist, has played a couple of live concerts in The Sandbar. See #5 to understand just how cool this was.
There you have it. I can hear some of you already (Pants, Pat, "Anonymous")- "Those aren’t random or wierd facts! Everybody knows that stuff!"
To which I say, yes, our regulars know this stuff as do the five of you who read this blog. But in the hopes that someone new might stumble upon this blog, I bet they don’t know those seven random facts.
I don’t have time right now to find seven other random blogs to tag, {Fringes, you want to play?} so I’m going to change the rules a little bit. You, dear readers, can join in the fun even if you don’t have your own blog. Leave a comment and either tell us seven random things about yourself, or you can add seven more random facts about The Sandbar.
I am allergic to memes.
7 random facts about me:
7. I once won a free throw shooting contest- and I shot it granny style.
6. I cried the day Dave took Woodchuck off tap.
5. I have webbed toes on one foot.
4. I was a KU Cheerleader for one semester.
3. Like Pat, I’ve seen KISS in concert- twice.
2. My dream job would be to perform with Cirque Du Soleil as an acrobat twirling from a ribbon/rope.
1. I got pregnant after a evening of drinks and darts at the Sandbar- many, many years ago.
That sounds like Jen Jordan Brinker Heimer Schmidt…..
True- and I hold whoever was bartending during the summer of 95 responsible for helping bring about Miss Marly.
What the hell is a meme?
Seven Randy Fact about the Sandbar:
1. The ghost is gay.
2. Pattoo was also a KU cheerleader (at least I caught him wearing the outfit once… MY outfit!)
3. There’s, like, 3,000 dollar bills taped to the walls and ceiling.
4. I think the bar is made of old doors.
5. Everyone has had sex in or on the Sandbar at least once.
6. Everyone but me, of course.
7. I am your father, Luke.
Jen Jordon Brinker Heimer Schmidt, her name is my name, too!
