I normally do not go out on Thursday nights, but my friend is going out of town for the weekend so we decided to go have a few beers after work. We went to the usual bar that we like to hang out at, The Social Club. If you follow me, you may have seen my post about the shot called Captain on Acid (pictured above) and how awesome it tastes! Well last night I had a super cool experience, something that hasn't ever really happened to me at a bar.
My, my dad @pipertomcat and Curry @ccolvin20 were all sitting at the bar. We were standing around talking to our friend Edgar, who is the bartender. He always takes care of us at the bar and we have become pretty good friends. We were actually standing there talking about Steemit and I was saying how cool it would be to make a video showing the making of a cool drink or shot and post it on here. Almost immediately after I said that, a man walked up to us.
The bar was dead so I had already noticed the man shooting pool with his wife and son. He and his wife looked to be in their late 50's and their son was probably in is early 30's. He walked about and asked us a question about pool. He was being funny because his wife had just beaten him so he was trying to pretend she had won by cheating haha. We all laughed about it and not thinking I continued discussing Steemit and what shot we were doing. I could tell the man was curious so i briefly described to him what Steemit is and how it works. He was fascinated. Then out of no where he said can i buy you guys a shot? We all looked at each other and smiled and said yeah sure if you take one with us! He agreed and looked at me and said "what's the best shot?" I knew the answer to that instantly, Captain on Acid.
I was so caught up in the moment that I completely forgot to film the shots being made and us taking them! Immediately after taking the shot the older gentleman said "WOW, that was amazing!" I started laughing and I said "I told you it was great, it's the best shot you can get." He waved his wife and son over and said you guys have got to try this! He looked at us and said could we do one more? I thought to myself, damn this dude is cool! I said of course we can! To my surprise he goes, "You should film it this time and put it on that website you were talking about." I was so glad he reminded me. I took out my phone and I filmed the shots being made and us taking them. Check out the video below! That's me @jpiper20 filming, my dad @pipertomcat sitting in the camera view, the famous bartender, Edgar and I'm sure you can tell which one is Curry @ccolvin20. (Please excuse Curry, he was a little drunk and was just being funny, he loves Steemit)
After we took the second round of shots, the man thanked us and we of course said thanks to him for buying us drinks. He was a really nice guy. As the night ended and we were getting ready to leave, we asked Edgar to close out our tabs. He smiled and said,"I was supposed to keep it a secret, but the man from earlier paid for all three of your tabs, you're all good." Man, what an awesomely nice person he was. He had already left so we didn't get to thank him. Last night just proved to me how great life is and how creating positive energy around yourself will bring positive people around you. I always try my best to spread love and positivity on Steemit and in life in general. The man and his family were probably tourists and I will never see them again, but he sure made our night and it is something I will always remember.
Last night showed me that giving out good karma will bring in good karma. To top everything off, Edgar said something that truly made me feel like I am succeeding at spreading the love. He looked at me, my dad and Curry as we were about to leave and said " Ya know I love to see stuff like this happen. You don't know how many rich assholes I see come in here and blow their money on snobby girls or drunk douchbags that buy each other shots." He said, " I never see a group of actually nice and chill guys get a free round of drinks bought for them and tonight I finally got to see that. You guys make this job so much more awesome than it already is." Boy that Edgar sure knows how to get a sweet tip left for him haha. Thanks for reading guys and don't forget to follow!
