Ok we gat our first delivery of hard liquors in. We have a limited service. Al though I have been told that we should be up to normal supply by Groundhog day. (not including specialty drinks).

 

[BRIGHTWELL]

Jack-o-attack

This morning we got our shipment of Jack Daniels. I see no reason not to start moving on our plan to intergrate hard liquor into our service area.

At this point I think it would be a good idea to remind all my time traveling patrons of the 100 year rule. Now there seems to be some debate about when Mr. Jack Daniels was born. None the less it is clear that he took control to the distilling trade as a teenager. So with come comfort I mark 1865 as the resonable date of earlist production.

So with this in mind sales of Jack Daniels will be limited to those patrons from 1765 and after.

Ground Hog Day Special Today and Tomarrow

A Ground Hog
Sweet vermouth
Lemon wedge

Fill a double old-fashioned cocktail glass with ice. Pour the vermouth, stir and twist lemon over the glass. Serve with the lemon twist as garnish.




All time travelers, Regarding Lounge 100 year rule: See historic note below and please abide by it.

Historical note:The name "vermouth" is the French pronunciation of the German word Wermut for wormwood that has been used as an ingredient in the drink over its history. Fortified wines containing wormwood as a principal ingredient existed in Germany around the 16th century. At about this time an Italian merchant named D'Alessio began producing a similar product in Piedmont as a "wormwood wine". By the mid-17th century, the drink was popular in England under the name "vermouth" which has been the common name for the beverage until the present day.( taken from Wiki)

Saint Colette Day

We must faithfully keep what we have promised.

May the Father of all mercy, the Son by his holy passion, and the Holy Spirit, source of peace, sweetness and love, fill us with their consolation. Amen."

The back story of the Red Dragon Tavern. Long ago there was a writers thread called Ancient Sites. it started about 1996 and died about 2000. Now there is no hint of it on the web at this time. There are refugee writers that can be found here and there. I have mentioned it time to time when I write about my pirate character Andrew Sinclair Brightwell. Any way, the tavern was owned by the prime character Franko Hodgers. He was the CEO of FGS. And The Red Dragon on the Water was part of his Neiw Amsterdam business empire. So that is where the name comes from, the old FGS empire.

Since moving here back in 2006 and later starting this thread, I thought that since many of my characters were spread all over time. I needed a place for time travelers to come and rest.


As for the painting you refer too. Well that is Claud Mc Fee he shot the lion with a laser rifle and was arrested by the time police for illegal weapon usage in a time warping. A bad business.

 

[rasberry]

Hmmmmmmm not one for mindless violence.I enjoy more of what makes a girl desirable,
Take this place filled with wayfarers of all kinds from noble folk to down and out nefarious
the world has become reckless endanger of turning toxic good food, great company and no threats a perfect night for dancing, romancing and fun.

(stands adjusting her corset takes the hosts hand leads him to the dance floor)

This is living a girl a guy and some music (kisses him on the lips slow and gentle)

(MUSIC BEGINS)

 

[BRIGHTWELL]

(Music)
(Slow dancing cheek to cheek)
Since I write in so many worlds and story lines its a challenge to be a nasty MF one minute and then a nice guy the next. But for you, yeah I can do it!
(dancing slowly)

Oh and my food is not toxic, sweetie. Filling, some times fattening yes, never toxic.

Did you see the tavern rules? If not I'll redisplay them.

[BRIGHTWELL]

in case I disgrace myself

There is no disgrace in a time shifter tavern. You can get as shit faced as you like or stay as sober as a judge. Either way, I'll be happy to escort you up to room 902 when your ready. I could stay or go, what ever you desire.
