"Why are you here so early?" Ryan Hahn's voice rang out across his
empty apartment as I dodged three eager waiters desperate to put a drink in my
hand before I even had a chance to dispatch my coat. This is what happens when
you show up at 9:05 for a very fancy holiday party that started at nine. Apparently,
Ryan and our mutual friend Brian Gianelli (aka the only other person I would know
at the party) had already decided Brian should come closer to eleven, when the party was in full swing. Information that would have been important to
know.
As it was, I happily unloaded my junk at the coat check and
grabbed a hot apple cider from the hot tasty bartender. I discovered the big-armed
bartender with the heterosexual hair (see below) and equally hot waiters were no mere
coincidence, but had been hired from Marc Levine, the owner of Model Bartenders. I came by this juicy secret from Marc himself who had come early to
make sure everything was going well, which might explain the aggressive
lords-a-leaping as I walked in the door.
