I came across this today, of Amy Sedaris as a bartender. Reminds me of my favorite bartenders for one reason: her potty mouth. It is outtakes from a movie called Full Grown Men, which I never heard of and is probably for rent by now.
If you know me, you know the one thing I hate is flair bartenders. I mean the bottle tossing monkeys, the trick glass tosses, the behind the back bottle move. Please. Give me my fucking drink. Now. I do not need to see a bottle jump in the air, you will not be getting a better tip. Thank God this is not that common in New York, but apparently is huge in other cities (which is why we don't live anyplace else). Now there is a whole TV series that follows these jerks around the globe, edited together like this is Awesome And You Have To See These People In Action. Nope, not me. Give me a bartender who remembers my drink (my name would be nice) and keeps them coming. Check this out:
Sheesh. That TV network wasted good money producing this crap? I won't watch. Why would you WATCH a show about drinking? Wouldn't that 60 minutes be better spent actually drinking, in a bar?
Alexis and I need some video on NYCBP. I wanted to see some bartender video, and I had to look all the way to damn Ft. Lauderdale for it. Yes, hot girls, pole dancers, lots of cleavage. Oh well.
Now why can't we get some video clips from NYC bars contributed? How hard would that be? It would be pretty easy, right? This is a pretty decent clip with a hot bartender from the Stone Rose. However, it is a straight interview:
Please people, send me some video. What else are you doing? Visiting the new NYCBP advertiser, the dating club with hot girls? Sheesh!
I admit the only Russian words I know are brands of vodka. One of them is Smirnoff, which as we know mixes well with... everything. I just found out the company is doing a Youtube contest that runs another 10 days. The winner gets a trip around the world or something. Probably a lot of vodka. Ten winners will "spend a year traveling the world searching for the best original nightlife," the company says.
So I watched a lot of the video entries people around the world sent in. Most suck. But one really struck me. So you should vote for Chante. Why? She is from Harlem. She is a photographer. She is gorgeous. She loves bars. She speaks French.
Her video (and above) is just a short sample. If you look at Chante's web site you'll see more samples of her work. Lots of good photos to see of New York.
I realize this is another stupid marketing campaign, but it did bring Chante to my attention. I hope this chick wins.
So this is the first video clip I am attempting to shoot, edit, and post myself. I got a Nikon S7 a few months ago. I am still learning how to use it, and iMovie, on my Mac. So far, this is the result. Nothing is more fun than drinking with Megan on a Thursday at The Patriot. So for Superhero Night I tried this 90-second movie. Let me know your reviews. And forward the clip around too. Thanks!
I have not posted in ages about Coyote Ugly Saloon. So since I haven't actually been inside the bar, here is a video clip from a German tourist who was there. I can't identify any of the bartenders, can you?
If you want to do something funny, search on YouTube for Coyote Ugly, and see all the fake Coyote dancers around the world. Funny shit.
