Shooters Soft Opening Party!

[Bruce Mangosteen]

Last night was the first night of our several-day soft opening. Things went remarkably smoothly considering how quickly the construction went, and considering the many derelicts who showed up and didn't break anything. Some pics:

 

 

Our mate, Secrets BM Erdinger, had the honor of being our first customer. Or is that, "we had the honor of having Erdinger as our first customer"? Whatever.

 

He also graced the lovely Yu with the first Shooters lady drink.

 

Our friend and partner Alan (far right) mixed it up with some friends.

 

 

Manfred was our first bell ringer. Of course, he put it on MY bill...

 

Jason from NLD1 stopped by specifically to make me jealous over his beautiful girlfriend. Bastard!

 

Brian and some mates stopped by to mix it up and grab some ass.

 

My good mate Stan double-fisted as usual. Stay out from under that bike, Stan!

 

Manfred chatters at the shooter bar.

 

The boys do the "Shooters sign". Don't forget it, there WILL be a quiz.

 

The posse from The Rockhouse stopped by for a tipple. Thanks, boys!

 

Our mate Mike came by to razz me.

 

My dear friend Andy came all the way from Bangkok just to prove that he can attract more beautiful women than I ever could.

 

Then things REALLY went to shit. We had a visit from Secrets board members Badtz, Terry Lee, DJS2700, mgc, welbeck and that lot.

 

Welbeck gets the Gate.

 

What a bar owner has to put up with!

 

Dan makes a wish.

 

I'm sure Andy will never be back after this...

 

Terry lost this one by a long shot. Bet he wishes it had "come to blows" for real...

 

Secrets mod mgc holding court. Wonder if he deleted anybody's thread over there?

 

My Thai brother Woot from TQ2 stopped in for a few.

 

 

A big THANK YOU to everybody who stopped by to hang. We're open now, so please come on down and hang at Shooters. We're looking forward to seeing you all!

Thanks, mate. It was a great night. I must say that my own place is rapidly becoming my favorite place!

Yup, nice seeing those guys. They're a great bunch of folks to be sure.

 

The back room is not quite complete yet, mate. Should be done before the 4th though.

They were variously chatting up customers and out front providing eye candy. We are on a recruiting drive, and will publish pics of our staff shortly.

Hey guys, for the next few nights we will have fumigators in after about 1:00AM. If you stop by after that you might find us closed. This is only temporary, and we will be open late starting this week. Sorry for any inconvenience.

We depend heavily on Gate. She is an integral part of our operation and we would be lost without her. See you soon mate.

We did not and will not intentionally copy anybody. We respect our friends at Secrets and do not want to have any impact at all on their business.

We were lucky that viurtually all of the Lennies staff accepted out invitation to stay on. It certainly has made the opening of Shooters that much easier!
