Big Weekend

HUGE weekend starting tonight.

We have two parties coming to Riley's tonight. The first being just a small art group that will come for drinks and appetizers. They will only be there until 7pm.

After 7pm we have a 120 person rehearsal dinner party. This marks our first 'large' event since upgrading the bar. The wedding will be down the road at the Roycroft Inn, which is a very nice historic landmark in the heart of East Aurora, NY.

The party tonight will consist of a full catered buffet by Homestyle Catering. They are the catering company that runs out of our kitchen and takes care of all the food service for us at the bar. The rehearsal dinner party should be eating, drinking, socializing and having a good time all night long. Hopefully everything goes smoothly without any hangups. I'm expecting that it will be busy to the point where I end up being the 'guest' bartender. I do this on occasion when it gets really busy.

Tomorrow we are having our St. Patty's day parties at both Bars. Complete with live bands and green stuff. One thing about St. Patricks day, is that no matter what you find, as long as it's green you can claim that it is either an irish decoration or costume. For example, I am looking at a green sharpie right now... clearly designed specifically for this holiday. I might even use it to write all over the face of drunken victims... or maybe not.

At the Grill on Saturday we are having this band called the Schnells.

They are a local band to the area, and friends of some sort to just about everyone from the town. I've found that whenever we bring in people to play at the bars who are from the area and friends with some of the patrons, the places automatically get packed for the night. This Saturday will be no exception as I have heard everyone and their mothers are coming out for the show.

Should be a lot of fun, but hopefully there wont be any problems... unfortunately though, there always are.

I'll let you know how things go.

ps.

BB King concert earlier in the night on Saturday, very exciting times. But very stressful as well as I'm going to have to hurry out of the concert when it's over and head right to the Grill. The BB King concert is at 8pm and the Schnells start at 10pm.
