fun sisters friday
just got home from a nice friday night. boilin’ oil played LSE and people love boilin’ oil. the picture here is some crazy women folk i chatted with at the end of the night. 3 sisters here, and one daughter, and there’s more sisters that aren’t in the picture. i said, “where are the men?” and this woman was telling me they were all in the trunk. the one in white there, that’s her new one month old baby and his (i think it was a he??) first trip out was to satchel’s… nice. anyway, that woman was telling me she wanted to get the satchel’s in the trunk bumper sticker but i told her we never had a sticker like that. she swears she saw it and i think she’s crazy. anyway, they were having a good time even though one lady had a few too many beers and kept asking me for a free pitcher and i’m thinkin’, “this lady needs a pitcher of water!” no, i’m just teasing them now… one of them said she reads the blog so i’m giving them a hard time.
i got to walk through the dining room a few times and talk to a few customers tonight. i am always so impressed with all the great folks who come and wait and enjoy themselves despite the long waits. everyone seems so happy, like the guy from virginia, who said he left virginia this morning and called up to reserve a deep dish and then hit 95 south at 100 miles an hour to get here. his deep dish looked awful good… or the woman from hawaii who can’t have wheat and was moving to gainesville and searching online for where she could get a gluten free pizza and said when she got off the plane she went straight to satchel’s… or the girl who was showing photos to her friends on the computer, of her trip to spain and morocco… i ended up telling them some about my travels abroad and then one girl in the group, was it anna? busted out that she had just found out her sister was pregnant and then she tells the 6 of us…”she wasn’t supposed to tell anyone.” there was the party with 2 birthdays who gave me the leftovers from their giant chocolate chip cookie, and the leftovers we got of the ice cream cake. it was just a good time and the pies were looking perfect and there was only one minor mistake. it was totally the opposite of last saturday when everything went wrong and i nearly checked myself into the crazy house and took all day sunday to recover…
we are going to have some late night shows coming up soon. there are two planned for august and one for september and one in october. keep a lookout for the posters when you’re up there and come out for some interesting music. the next show is august 16th and it’s a benefit for a new publication called the fine print. the show will start at 10pm with 3 bands.
thanks to all who came out this week and for all the great customers.
