Saying Goodbye To A Dear Friend...

As we all know, and if you don't, obviously, we're not as good of friends as you had originally hoped, which yes, sucks for you, I have been the original "Regular" at this establishment from the very day it opened... I was here for Burger nights every Wednesday night, and I was there LONG before there was ever a DJ in the basement, or a door you could use to go directly downstairs, and even before Santa Clause was working the door ID'ing those less fortunate. I really feel that I have lost a piece of my heart, because this weekend, I not only lost hope and the willingness to watch my Bengal's anymore, but I also lost my second home. For those of you that know me, and my natural order of things, you know every Friday that was the spot to chill in the basement and hit on married bartenders and check the floor for Ronies and Strange...

I'm not writing this because Brazenhead is closing or anything of that nature, it's simply come down to my favorite bartenders are leaving to work for a closer, newer Irish Pub on Union Center, which I guess in a way makes me happy, but at the same time, it's going to be hard not going back to a place that everyone, and yes, I mean everyone knows your name and what you drink without you even saying a word. They knew all of my friends by name, asked how I was doing, how the family was, and it really was a home away from home. Filled with good times of passing out in the bushes, puking in the bushes, and just those times you'll never forget that are sometimes hard to remember without your friends nearby... It's such a hard decision to leave a place that means so much to me, but more importantly, it's harder to lose bartenders that know you so well, and you pretty much suck it up and follow them wherever you go, and that's what I have to do... So, today, on this day, September 29th, 2008, I say to you Brazenhead, thank you for the good times, the great times, and the not so great times, you are truly that of something greater than great itself, and the time we have spent together (and the money) was all well worth it... But as an old English Proverb once said "all good things must come to an end" and thus we have arrived at that moment. So Thanks Again Brazenhead, you were there for me when I was up, and when I was down, like a good friend should be... I bid you farewell... We'll See Ya

-45 people just realized that I'm not going to Brazenhead anymore and are sadly disheartened by that fact after reading this...
