First HH at the 'Tag: A Success!

At about 5:20 pm yesterday, I was ready to title this post "Reason #2 Why I Live in Misery: Nobody shows for happy hour." R went ahead so that one of us would be represented at the happy hour we planned at the 'Tag while I waited for Lu to wake up from her nap. She called at 5:20 to see if the kid was awake and whether we were on our way. Nobody, including those who RSVP'd on Facebook, had shown. I told R that I was coming no matter what and that we could have our own familial happy hour despite all the no-shows.

Then, something happened on my way to the 'Tag.

I called R to tell her I was turning onto Hitt Street so that she could grab Lu out of the car while I found a parking space. She said people had started to show. Happy hour was on.

For the next three or four hours, a steady stream of friends and acquaintances braved the cold for a drink or two at the 'Tag. The HH I organized on Facebook was a modest hit. And it sounds like the fun continued on through the night.

Now our goal is to make Happy Hour at the 'Tag a regular Friday thing. The idea is that not everyone has to show every Friday, but just to get a few people to stop by on Fridays as a regular thing would be great.

If you're reading this and live anywhere near COMO, be sure to stop in at the Ragtag some Friday between 5 pm and 1 am for happy hour(s). If you're on Facebook, join our group. If you're just passing through town on a Friday, stop by. I can't guarantee that I'll be there every week, but I will certainly try to make it as often as possible.

BTW-For those wondering what beer I sampled last night: I finished off the special for R, a Stag with a shot of rye, since she's no fan of beer. Then I nursed a Jewbilation 11 (on tap!!!) on a upset stomach.
