Since I publicly committed to blogging daily here during January, and since I've kind of run out of things to write about (for now), I put out a plea to the staff. I sent them a list of random questions and begged them to answer them so I could profile them here.
Danny was the first (and so far the only) one to answer me.
Way back in 2007, we profiled Danny for the first time. A lot of things change in three years...and some things don't.
How long you have you worked here? Since May 2005
What's your favorite drink to drink? Jameson+rocks
What's your favorite drink to make? I think I make a mean margarita. (He does. And I would know.)
Most unusual drink request? Calimocho...red wine and cola equal parts...shockingly enough I already knew how to make it because of a guy I met in the climbing club at KU who was from Spain. The lady that ordered it was equally shocked that I didn't need any clarification.
Favorite memory at the bar: I worked a SLOW Tuesday and Bill Self made an appearance. While he was there he bought 2 bottles of Miller Lite and tipped me $20 for each one. If only everyone tipped that way!
Tell us a funny story from the bar: Sandbar Christmas party 2009...Hayley gave me a wedgie, and when I feigned that I was going to retaliate, she yelled for help...Joe, who was behind the bar, quickly responded by spraying me in the face.....with Sprite. I was still sticky when I woke up the next morning. Good times.
Other things Danny does when not working at the Sandbar: Nursing school, running, fundraising like a bat out of hell for MS (http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR?px=3998975&fr_id=16072&pg=personal), pretend musician for $ellout!
What's your favorite jukebox song? Van Morrison - Cleanin' Windows
What's the song you never want to hear again? Disney, Save a Horse...
Thanks Danny! And here's a picture from the aforementioned 2009 Christmas party:
What staff member do you want to learn about next?
