Uptown Friday Night

Heather and I

I went to Uptown Friday Night, last night, with a Group from Artistic Strands Hair Salon. We were what they call "Guest Servers". The Cedar Rapids Jaycees put on this event to raise money for local charities. Here is a link http://www.uptownfridaynights.com/about.php. It sounds easy but it's not. You get a pitcher of beer and you walk around the event and fill up glasses for a token or you sell the entire pitcher. Well, my first pitcher I am walking around, I fill one glass but I could of sold the shirt off my back 10 times by now. We had bright green shirts that said "Chemically Dependent" on the front and Artistic Strands on the back, get it our hair is chemically dependent. Anyway, I see other little green shirts running back for more pitchers and I can't even empty the first one. I finally empty it and I walk back and I asked "How long do I have to do this?" It had been like 20 minutes and I had a couple of hours to go. So, I get my second one and some guy says can I buy the pitcher, I said sure 4 tokens please......I was excited so I go to get my next one and I tell them I sold an entire pitcher for 4 tokens and come to find out they can get a pitcher for 3 tokens at the tent, so I guess that was a tip....I haven't waitressed for like 20yrs so what do you expect. It was a good time and I think I would do it again:)

More "Chemically Dependent" Guest Servers. I don't remember all the names but I told them to smile because I was putting them on my blog.

Heather and her Husband....I think she is trying to take a picture of me:)

Can you see how our shirts stood out in the crowd...
