I recently discovered another Sandbar love match.
A few weeks ago, I got an email through the website from Shellie at Iowa State, who wanted to order a t-shirt. She explained that she and her boyfriend had met at The Sandbar one year ago, when they were both in Lawrence for a Big 12 conference. They're still together, and they planned to celebrate their anniversary with a trip to Lawrence and The Sandbar.
Tonight was the big night- the one year anniversary of the day they met. I was so excited to get an online order for Sandbar merchandise that instead of just giving them the t-shirt in it's standard ziploc bag, I packaged it in a cute little flip-flop gift bag, complete with leis, beads, sharks, and duck toys. They were thrilled.
A few Shark Attacks, Dirty Bananas, and Pink Flamingos later and I think they were having a good time.
If you and your significant other met at The Sandbar, send me an email. We'd love to hear your story.
Dammit! Shellie WAS my significant other! I shall never love again…
Oh Wait! Iowa State? I meant Shellie from Ohio State. My bad.
