Our lounge usually doesn’t attract a large crowd on game nights, but I thought I’d try my hand at packing it up for game 6- Celtics vs. Lakers game. It started with posting a “Beat LA…Again” sign on the front door, and revamping our sidewalk stand with the phrase “Celtics vs. LA tonight 9pm!!”
The bar was fairly busy until about 9:04PM when people on the street began trickling in. By 9:10PM, we had a fairly decent crowd in the lounge. The barback amped up the volume, while I poured the Sam’s Summer and served Coronas. It was a perfect way to begin the night…that is, until the Celtics started losing in the first quarter. It was painful to watch them lose ball after ball while the lakers almost never missed a shot.
It was a horrible night, except for one thing. Time flew by! The crowd in the bar kept me fairly busy that before I knew it, it was 11:45-time for Last Call. Was I disappointed?? Yes! But will I be back on Thursday night to cheer for my home team? You betcha! This time, I’ll be sitting on the other side of the bar, but I’ll still be rooting for the Celtics to take home the glory!
