end of an era

Apparently Drew is not working at Churchill's anymore. You may remember him as the best bartender in Atlanta. From the stories I've heard his reasons were noble and I wish him the best of luck. Apparently he's bartending at Ciao Bello now. Drew has been working at Churchill's as long as I've been going there. Which would date back to around the spring of 2001 when I was still using an awful fake idea and we could only go in on weeknights because they had a bouncer on the weekends. Anyway Drew did exactly what you ask of a bartender. He remembered his regulars and gave them excellent service. The other guys working at Churchill's still seem to be good guys but I could already notice a dropoff just from hanging out Saturday night. That difference was the music selection. On the pub side of the bar the music is controlled by a multi disc cd player behind the bar that the bartenders control. Over the years we've been delighted with some glam rock, Ride the WInd was always special, and some other palatable rock. However on Friday around 2am we were assaulted with some Linkin Park or some shit that I hate. So my point is I guess, a little bit of the Deer God died when Drew went on his way. I guess I'll have to step it up and occasionally go get a fine meal right up the street at Ciao Bello.
