Since we've been regular patrons of the Ebar since pretty much their opening day, we thought it would be a nice gesture to do for the Ebar staff what they've been doing to us for the past several years: get everyone sloppy drunk.

We've been lobbying for this opportunity for over a year.  Once we got the go-ahead, we underwent massive preparation for our role.  We went to the Ebar every chance we could to learn to pour drinks and to take notes on effective bartending.  We sampled the various liquors and beers...some more than others.  We watched "Cocktail", "Coyote Ugly" and re-runs of "Cheers" for inspiration.  We slapped Simon around until he told us his bartending secrets. 

Finally, on a cold, windy December night, Kayak Steve, Backdoor Steve and Kenny bartended the Bookshelf staff Christmas party.  We got to see what life was like behind the bar for a change...except everybody hit us up for fancy drinks we've never heard of, instead of just beer and rum & cokes like WE normally do (dirty rat bastards).  Unfortunately, things were so busy, I didn't get to take pictures for the Guelph Party Archives until the very end of the evening...at 4am.  Literally two hours later than they normally kick OUR asses to the door.  As we had planned, all the staff left drunk and hopefully woke up hungover.  A nice switch from the usual.

If anyone would like our services (as bartenders or otherwise), we are available for parties, weddings, and bar mitzvahs.
