Thanks again to everyone for offering suggestions on Team Hustle's plan of attack while in L.A. We descend tomorrow evening and I'm still not sure whether to bring my digital camera or my video camera; it all boils down to a space issue. Janelle requested that I bring my fancy ionic hairdryer, but she did offer to pack it with her things if I was short on room. Decisions, decisions.
Steve Marsh is also in L.A. this weekend and next week, so we'll be attempting to meet up. Steve's rock star quotient is so much higher than mine; if I hang with him just one night, I might run into Winona Rider. I have a lot of questions for her.
Sadly, I have a new event for you to add to your busy calendar next weekend. Sunday, April 9th, will be Jerry the Bartender's last night working at Stasiu's, so come down and wish him well. I don't have a lot to say about that, except that I feel like I'll be homeless in a way until Jerry starts working somewhere else. And I can cross my fingers all I want, but that somewhere else probably won't be 8 blocks from my house anymore.
That's all for me until next week. If Janelle brings her laptop, maybe I can put up a couple of photo posts.
Oh, don't forget I'm on the radio tomorrow. My segment will be at 1:40 instead of the usual 2:40 to accommodate my schedule (have I "made it"?). I'll be super antsy, and sometimes when I get antsy, I speak in spoonerisms, so be sure to tune in.
Well, that is teh suck. Now I have to drink at home seven nights a week.

Why is he leaving, problems with the new management?

What is Stasius without Jerry?
What is Nordeast coming to? Jerry was Stasius! The change from old to new is awful. Wheres the peanuts, popcorn and pictures on the wall of the greats! Old bartenders and customers that made Stasius great! Made Nordeast great! All gone! No jukebox? This bar called Stasius WILL NOT LAST!! Myself and a great deal of others will not be back!
Good luck Jerry, we all love you and wish you well!
Alexis, please post where Jerry will be working, we all will follow him!

I likely won't be back much, if at all, either.
As I understand it (from the man himself) he likely won't be tending bar anymore. I suppose if a good deal comes along, he might, but it sounded like he was looking into other things. He will still be occasionally covering a shift here and there, and still running some of the events that Stasiu's does regularly, like buses to Twins games and such.

He's giving up bartending? Jerry? I remember when I turned 21, I had such a great time there. He made me a drink and named it after me. He named a lot of drinks after people/girls he knew. He would never tell what was in it, that way I could only get it there. I am going to have to stop in this weekend and thank him and wish him well. I can't believe he'd give up bartending!

Bexley, do you know his email address?
Posted by: Tari | April 05, 2006 at 11:51 PM
No, but I imagine Alexis does. He also occasionally stops by here.

When do you and Alexis come in?
Posted by: Tari | April 06, 2006 at 10:24 AM
Tari, is that your real name? I don't have a Tari drink? Your not the Lost Virginity girl are you?
Posted by: Jerry | April 06, 2006 at 04:04 PM
Thats me! Would you mind giving out that recipe now?
Posted by: Tari | April 06, 2006 at 08:04 PM
