How I met rob.

The most adorable rock star ever. He’s played at the club I bartend at twice since I’ve worked there. :)

Why I admire Hunter S. Thompson

Unfortately I was a bit too late for this one. I wanted to meet him at the Wood Creek Tavern and have a shot of good whiskey with him. I think he would have liked me. He’s influenced me so much in the most unexpected ways. I finally got to the Tavern about four months after his death to pay homeage and have that shot.

Who is the happier man, he who has braved the storm of life and lived, or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed? -Hunter S. Thompson

A story about Dean Ween

I served Dean Ween in my bar! Just after he played a show with the Moistboyz. He had a Guinness and a shot of Jameson.

I met Eric Burdon at a bar in Sylva, North Carolina when I was 20! Insane times.
