oh my goodness. i am quite the lucky person. i work and live on the same street in the same barrio. bartending five shifts in four days, in two completely different atmospheres. so many regulars to remember; what they drink, what they do for a living, if they're married, where they live...their disposition.
one thing's for sure-thank god im a talker. people really like/need someone to chat with and vent. and almost always there's something you can connect or bond with them about. it amazes me. and truly...you absolutely canNOT judge people by the way they look. they will surprise you. i actually feel bad if i havent chatted with everyone at the bar. or if im talking to one person too much; im afraid im making the other patrons feel abandoned. hilarious.
Aurora Restaurant: you crazy italian saturated place. holy shit, i love being a part of your world. all my ridiculous bosses and coworkers, who say the most inappropriate and hilarious things constantly. that i leave work with cheek cramps. the food is seductive, authentic and makes you understand why italians are all about the senses.
Redd's Tavern: your visitors are regular people, who work hard and just need a moment to chill and come down from a hard day. all of them friendly, loquacious and sweet. i do my damndest to remember your drink, in hopes that makes you smile. i love watching groups of friends drinking beers, playing skeeball and just having a good time. if only life could always feel like that.
is it grand on grand street...absolutely.
