I am woman! Now buy me drink!

Last week while out on a Martini Tour with Josh Bender’s crew, at the final stop, AuBar, we enjoyed a few drinks and a little absurdity in the VIP section.

Here we are, sitting around having a good chat when from one of the attendees we hear, “I’m thirsty!”

After a few moments, again, “I’m thirsty!”, echoed the blonde girl.

We’re sitting in the VIP section, we have our very own server (the illustrious Wendie, pictured HERE), so I mention to blonde girl, that the service is pretty good, the bar is close by and since we’re in the VIP section, there’s no lineup.

She mentions to me, “No, you don’t get it.”

    Hey folks, it’s been a couple years but I spoke to the ‘lady’ mentioned in the above blog post – she clarified. I don’t have the recollection at the best of times but given she does (and still remembers the situation more than two years out) I’ll give her the benefit – she mentioned that there were some inconsistencies in my reporting. Most importantly about how things transpired, and quite frankly, she’s quite nice, so that said – I’m gonna retract what was said up top.

    Her clarification – all she said was, “we’re in VIP, who’s buying the drinks…” … quite different from what I’ve portrayed up above.

    So, to you readers… even Raj can be wrong from time to time. And as for my memory? Well, I guess with old age and alcohol, …
