I'm a bartender. I love booze. Everything that goes along with booze. Even late nights in jail with four Mexicans and a half passed out college coed. It was like the begining to a really kick ass porn.
I'm not sure when it started but at some point in my childhood my father would sit me down and watch old movies. Mainly Charlie Chaplin and Marx Brothers stuff. From there is grew into Frank Sinatra and Rat pack stuff... then into the cocktail culture of the 50s and 60s... My 16th birthday cake was shaped like a martini.
My first job in a restuarant was short lived so I couldn't work my way to the bar. I bounced around from job to job for a few years till I got my dream job. I was bartending at a place in Denver called the Skylark Lounge. It's a kick-ass retro bar. Been around for 65yrs or so. All they play is old school country, rock-a-billy, blues and jazz. Right up my alley...
I've been doin' it ever since. Different bars and clubs. One day I'll have my own place. But I'm not in a hurry.
