Wind, Blackout's, and Lola

Crazyness insued today at work. First of all, I Had a great time at Red Square Last night and then went throught the Fly Magazine release party, then the Tavern. It was windy and cold as hell last night, and had to run through sleet to get a cab home.

This morning at work, Lol was super slow and dragging. But as soon as they cut one busser it got busy, Murphy's Law. So the restaurant starts feeling up, at which point all of the sudden the lights go out.

The silence and complete dark was pretty strange, considering the building Lola is in, used to be a mortuary. And it didn't just flash off and then turn back on in couple seconds. The lights went out at about 1:20pm and I left at 3:00 and they still weren't on.

The timing was odd too, it was like everyone already had ordered and most were already paying. But we couldnt see anything at first. The dish pit got over filled with dishes and we closed the kitchen. But that don't stop a drinker,LOL people were still coming into the bar, and they had cash. Lola is such a chill place that the manager let every employee get a couple drinks too.

I hear that it blacked out from the middle of 16th st mall and all the way into the lower Highlands. They didn't estimate it to get back on till at least 5. I hear.
Pretty wierd day I would say.
