Happy Hour

Andrea and I did happy hour last night. It actually was a happy FEW hours! We went to this classy bar in West Haven. What?!? You don't think that there ARE any classy bars in West Haven? Well, let me prove you wrong!

The place we met at had ambiance. And a cool bartender. Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl... Wait, I am thinking of someone else. Her name was Chachi. She was cool and joined us in downing a couple of grape crush shots (I have only one thing to say about those -- Y U M M Y ! ! !). She was quite skilled in the preparation of this concoction.

Now, Andrea and I chose to sit on the veranda. This veranda had an eclectic array of furnishings. The thing you notice first upon entering the area is the huge garbage can. It had an actual use as well, for garbage!!

The next interesting piece of furniture was the table. There were about 6 or 7 round, wooden tables. They were wobbly, which added a bit of excitement to the evening. Will my drink fall off? Will I be able to balance it? Now to the color of the tables. They were mostly red. It appeared to me that they were first painted yellow, and then painted red. It seems the purpose of this arrangement of paint was to allow patrons to scrape their name (or various expletives) into the table and they will appear bright yellow in contrast to the red.

Now, one might think that this was enough design for the tables; but noooooo! There are also random brush-strokes of yellow all around the edges. At first I thought they were just cleaning the yellow off their brushes using the table I was at to do so; but then I realized it was on all of the tables. THIS WAS INTENTIONAL!

Well, who am I to question the brave designers? The beer was cold, the shots were great, and the company was perfect! I had a great night.
