Getting to "The Roots" of it...

Comments (0) |

Happy Thursday, loyal blog readers. I wanted to add a note to help you with the upcoming holiday and party-hosting season. Check out the basics of bartending on Colleen Graham's blog at cocktails.about.com. She covers everything from basic mixology to bartending techniques to adding herbs and spices to cocktails for the season. Enjoy!

Also, I have a quick bone to pick. Did any other nightlifers attend the Roots concert on Nov. 7? Let me ask if anyone else took the option on Ticketmaster.com for the "wet side" yet, when they arrived, did not find any "wet side" at all -- in fact, nothing wet whatsoever. It was, I discovered, a dry show. Nothing on the ticket said this, however. I'm for all-ages enjoyment, but I'm also for separating the 21-and-over crowd from the underage crowd by, oh, a rope to distinguish different sections, ID bracelets, etc. I highly commend UAA for bringing such a fantastic group (and for the amazing sound quality that made the show that much better). But come on. If it's a dry concert, broadcast it every possible place you can find. Especially if it's a dry concert starring THE ROOTS, people. OK, that's my two cents. What did you think?
