So Sad-Kathy Kendall

Sad news, one of downtowns best is gone. . . former Piper Pub manager Tim Kendall posted this news. . . Not sure what the best way to get a hold of you, hope this works. Kathy Kendall, A bartender during the time the Piper Pub was a very special place passed away March 16th. She won over all of the regulars, at that time, and was determined to make everyone have fun. I know quite a few people who read this daily either worked or knew Kathy. Your site is great and is fun to read. She did pour you a few! The cause of her death was due to a very wicked infection in her blood that caused, among other things, complete renal failure. There will be a memorial web site - www.kathykendall.net set up in the next few days. Thanks! Tim

Tim was kind enought to send along these wonderful pictures of Kathy.

Thanks Tim, our thoughts are with you. Kathleen Kendall.jpg Honduras.jpg

Angell's for St. Pats

The amazing duo of Jeff Tauge and John Faulkner are at Angell's for what has become a St. Patrick's tradition. Just be careful asking for a green beer from the day bartender!!!

Bucket o' Brew to Close

This is an FYI from Don O. . . Dear friends -- Bucket o' Brew will be closing its doors on Sat, March 10th. As some of you know, I work full-time at Hewlett-Packard, in addition to owning this business. I've enjoyed it and I've learned a ton, but I can't keep up the pace anymore. Starting Tues, everything goes on sale. Tuesday we'll start discounting items just for our e-newsletter customers, so you'll get first choice on the inventory. 30% off beer, buckets, and perishable items. Wed will start the public sale - 20% off, Thurs & Fri - 30% off and Sat - well, trust me, it'll be priced to move. Everything goes - need some gorilla shelves? Work tables? Come on down. Please help me move this inventory. I'm still hoping to sell the name, trademark and processes so that someone else can open the same concept, but at this point in time, I can't wait for it to happen. It breaks my heart, but I AM looking forward to reading a book that doesn't have anything to do with business! Feel free to call with questions. Thanks for all of your loyal support.

Cheers, Kris Query, Owner Bucket o' Brew, LLC

Blue Monday-Thomas Paul

As a bartender Thomas Paul, makes a great singer! Thomas has been escaping the depths of 10th Street Station to play and sing. If you haven’t had a chance to hear him, his style is worth seeking out. Thomas Paul-0229.jpg

Still on vacation!

The girl and I made it out of Nevada with a couple of Nickels left. Since I missed Photo Friday, how about a different take on one of my favorite subjects.SF Grate-93091.jpg
