SUMMER LOVING – Sun, Fun and a Buzz

Updated: June 1, 2005

I love this time of year. The weather is near perfect, girls are wearing less and drinks taste that much better. It’s time to relax and enjoy life. It’s your turn to visit the other side of the bar and be served.

One of the best places to do this is down at Holiday Isle during “Bartenders Bash“. This is were bartenders from all over gather together to toast the end of the season and the start of new friendships and yes, Mark Schultz finally made it back to the party.

You have to stop and take some time out for yourself. Enjoy life. You have a great job. Don’t forget to have a great life as well. All work and no play makes any bartender a dull boy or girl.

Go on vacation. Travel somewhere you haven’t seen before. Experience new environments, people, passions and positions

This brings us to someone who is all about having fun, letting loose and being yourself. Chris Fetter opens up to us on our ‘Interviews’ page and talks to us about his many wardrobes, capes and speedos.

After that the Vice President of the USBG (United States Bartenders Guild) Nevada Chapter, Bobby G., is ‘In The Mix’ as he shares with us some fun with Rum.

While we are sharing (sharing is good) I decided to join the ranks of our ‘Masterclass’ and teach one of my two tins and one bottle working Flair sequences. My mom really liked it! Then again, my mom likes everything I do? Except that one time…

Sharing his thoughts from a place that’s generally pretty cold. Josh Carpenter covers The Loose Moose, Madd Skillz competition. This month’s ‘Competition Review‘ brought to you by Canada, the 51st American state. (My apologies if I offended any Canadians, but Josh started it.)

Every time I see this page I am impressed. Francesco Lafranconi creates some cool cocktails to cool down your hot bodies on our ‘Flavors’ page. Flavoring the world one drink at a time.

From starting one of the worlds biggest Flair competitions till today. Tug and Andy give us a not so brief history on the Roadhouse competition. Check it out on our ‘Articles‘ page. Who knew history could be so much fun?

Then you can check out our new and improved super duper ‘Reader Contest’ and have a chance to win a slew of prizes!

All of this plus our regular features, ‘Cut Off‘ by Toby Ellis, more ‘Upcoming comps’ more ‘Barware’, more pages, and more Flair than you can shake a BarWars V DVD at.
