My Mama is not going to like this.....

I'm reluctant to blog about this because my Mama gets really jealous when it comes to other women being in my life. I don't know why. You'll have to get that explanation from her. I went out on another date with the girl I brought to my Dad's lame birthday party. Oh, I found out why strawberry margaritas were not on the invitation. There were no invitations! That would be a good way to get people to a party. Anyway, a few days before his party I met a lady kitty named Reba at a get together a mutual friend of our's had. She lives with a redneck couple a block or so down the way. Darrell and Mabeleene. Since we were both named after musicians we got to talking and kind of hit it off. After the birthday party debacle we kept talking but we didn't have a 2nd date till Saturday. I took her to the Peter Frampton concert. It went really well. Since she endoured the party and the concert of my choice, so I thought I would do something nice for her. With her being a country girl I took her to Toby Keith's I love this Bar&Grill at Harrah's. Some people think this is a total sell out by Toby, but I don't. Just refer to my last blog for my thoughts on celebrity commercialism. Also he needs as many sources of income as possible to keep up with Exxon, Halliburton, Blackwater and Iran as the entities that have benefited the most from 9/11 and subsiquent wars. On walls of the restraunt they run a video of Toby's song "Love this Bar". Go here for the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q85rPq1u9sc . I've got to tell you this place does not resemble the bar in the video at all. When we got there, Reba wanted to sit at the bar. We sat down and the "bartender" was I guess making drinks. It was kind of hard to tell. He was back there juggling the bottles around, flipping glasses, throwing an ice scoop ten feet in the air. Basically doing everthing but making a drink. It took me about 10 miniutes to finally get Lance Burton's attention. I ordered a Bud Light, Reba ordered an Appletini. Bozo the Clown immidatley went into his act. In the middle of his routine I asked if he could just hand me my beer. I'll open it myself. No need for theatrics, thank you. This would never take place in Toby's video bar. In fact if the bartender tried something like this in a redneck bar like in the video, I'm pretty sure this bartenter would get the shit kicked out of him. Also they have sirens go off every now and then, I have no idea why. Then the bartenders start running around the bar blowing whistles. All this did was scare the living shit out of us about every five minetes. Also, there were a few Blacks and Mexicans in the place. With the Confederate flag hanging behind Toby in the video I doubt any of them would have been welcome in the bar. We'll toward the begining of the video there is a fat Mexican guy that kind of looks like New Mexico governor Bill Richardson, so I might be wrong. I doubt the video bar has $6 beers also. Does Toby know they charge six bucks for beers? The food was pretty good though.... All this got me thinking, all this bottle juggling got started back in the late 80's when the movie Cocktail came out. It's actully one of my favorite bar movies. So in the next day or two I'll be back with my list of Best Bar Movies and Songs.
