This was our first Zombie Crawl at St. James Infirmary. Oh it was not my first, and I am thankful to have the team that I do at the Infirmary. What a night!!!!
Things went like this.
While I was getting ready for the night, I kept telling myself, pace, pace yourself, it’s going to be a long night. I knew by the end I was going to feel like I had been consumed by zombies.
I was going to be a Zombie Killer for Halloween, but felt the urge to take it lighter. My energy lasts longer when I am BEEing Kind, and BEEhaving, so I decided to go with Queen Bee.
We filled our bellies with Sushi. I need something to last the night and soak up the shots that I knew were going to occur. It’s the perfect meal for a big shift.
I arrived at 7pm to an amazing, fully decorated bar thanks to Pete! He did such an amazing job on the place. It immediately transcended me into the vibe. I was thankful. I could tell, it was going to be an amazing evening.
I wish I had photos of all the costumes. Everybody got into it! Did you all see Crystal??
Her Black Swan Costume was the best. Jamie was our 1950’s Housewife, she looked so beautiful! Pete was Pee Wee Herman, Art, Adam and Zak were Zombie Killers. Jordan the MOST BAD ASS door guy to ever walk the planet was some kind of bad ass ninja shield carrying warrior.
And then it hit!
Wow!! Jamie and I took the service side, and Pete and Adam, joined later by Art, took the bar side. We were slinging drinks left and right. I don’t think I have ever gone through so many bottles of alcohol so quickly! It was Fun! Jamie and I were dancing, pouring drinks, dancing and pouring drinks, dancing and pouring drinks. Zak aka dj haircake was on the decks. He kept the music pumping all night long. Dance baby dance!
I saw so many loved ones that night. It felt so good to look up and see so many smiling faces sharing love with me. Really you guys, you were the wind beneath my wings! Not too mention my baby love. We are never far apart from each other. He keeps me going strong all night long! I love him so much. I’m so thankful to share every part of this journey and my life with him. It means everything to me.
So many random visuals keep popping up in my mind. Zombies, and Panda Bears, Vampires, Witches, Tiggers, Skeletons……….So many amazing costumes! It’s quite surreal to be so busy, and pouring so many drinks, to continually look up and see something so unexpected and always different! It sometimes takes me a second to remember where I am at!
I spy Ben, Jessica, Jamie, Laurel, Crystal, and Kyle has to be there somewhere! I love you guys!! I totally dig that Anonymous Mask towards the left. The room was packed all night long!
Dance party!!!!! Oh how I love our dance parties!! They are the funnest. dj Haircake is one of my favorites!!
Were you at St. James Infirmary this night? What did you think? Did you enjoy the crawl at our bar? Do you enjoy the lack of bar fights and drama that does not exist at St. James Infirmary =) We hope you will return again and again!
If you ordered a drink from me, I’m sure you heard my crazy voice. It’s getting better, but I admit, I wore it out that night. By 5:30 in the morning I was tired, but I was prepared to be there until 8am. Then Zak let me go and he finished up. He is such an incredible man. I’m thankful for the early out. I was starting to hit my wall, my natural energy drink I got from Whole Foods was wearing out, and all I could think about was a warm and quiet room.
I’ve been sleeping, recovering, and doing NOTHING for the past couple of days. I took Monday off from the internets, and must admit it felt amazing. My voice is still funky, but I feel so much better! It’s amazing what rest can do!
I’m back at it tonight. It’s Tuesday, and I hit the bar at 4pm. Reno’s Votes Best Trivia Night hosted by Brad Bynum is around 8pm(ish), if you are ready to rock your brains, come on down. We have the greatest trivia nights ever.
