If not for the friendly visits we've been getting, I think we'd all have gone crazy. From Colin, to Jon B., to everyone's favorite DJ; it's all been great.
Today was no different- I think we got about 100423985235 visitors today, none of which I knew were coming. Those are definitely the best. Here's a recap.
The day started with this view.
Tunes were provided by these tapes we bought from a pawn shop. From Elvis Costello to Wayne's World, I think we've got variety covered. Oh, and yes, we have a tape player. We're fogies.
Just outside the pawn shop was this. Not so sure how I feel about it.
Rule Number One: If you're going to visit us, make sure you don't make a left turn when it says not. This guy did, and paid the price.
Visitor One: Tom! Doctor cleared him today as fit to drive, and naturally his first course of action was to hang out with us. Why do we miss Tom? Because he comes up with new nicknames for people. Bryan was formerly Bryan the Miner. And now, according to Tom, he's Bryan the Minor. You can't write this stuff people.
Visitor Two (and Three and Four): Ace (Josh and Mary not pictured)! All the way out from L.A. Beat that.
"So if you want to kill a zombie.."
Somehow, I think these will be seen everywhere soon.
I think Mary was pissed that we put her to work. Sorry Mary, but you gotta work to play. :)
Yeah, I totally double taked that sweater, too.
If you didn't know, The Mason Jar has officially waged war on the deadly black widows that lurk in our warehouse. Tonight, we cornered one of the beasts and attempted to split the monster in two, but it escaped to it's dark home. We need to hire better skilled scissor cutters. Apply within.
OK, greatest story of the week. Here's the backstory you need:
-we were hungry, so we decided on Togo's.
-there were 30 listed sandwiches, and obviously endless creations if you decided you wanted a custom order.
-it was "Flash Back Wednesday," which profiled one sandwich each week to be $1.99. We saw this AFTER we ordered. The special for today was Turkey and Avocado.
-Bryan is the unluckiest guy ever, ever since he shaved that beard.
Said Sign.
I'm sure you can guess what happened next. Here's the dialogue...
Me: "Oh man, look what we missed! We could have had five sandwiches for the price we payed."
Tony: "Why didn't you say anything earlier?"
Me: "I didn't see it, it's hidden back here." [the sign was literally hidden; one-sided (viewable from the inside only) and towards the back of the restaurant, away from the only entrance/exit]
Tony: "Oh well."
Me: "Wait. [I start to chuckle] I think Bryan got that sandwich."
Tony: "No way, I thought he hated avocado."
Me: "Hey Bry, what sandwich did you get?"
Bryan [who couldn't hear what we were talking about because he was still at the counter with Tom]: "Turkey on avocado. Why?"
I think all of us (except for Bryan) lost it after that. Out of a possible 30 (probably more) sandwiches, Bryan picks the one that's on sale on that specific day- after he paid! The odds are astronomical, and why the staff didn't mention anything beats me. Danny Hearts- gimme some odds on that one.
Bryan's reaction.
Upon arriving back to The Cannery, Natalie and Amelia (Visitors Five and Six) joined in on the fun. Sneak peak of the promo shirt we're giving on Sunday on Bryan's apron. Spot it.
Did I mention Amelia brought us some of these? Your heart would melt too if you saw somebody walk into your office with a cupcake caddy full of delicious cupcakes.
The Mason Jar/Alan Thomas, watercooler talk. Your typical day will find me rummaging through the fridge, Bryan smiling at inanimate objects, and Tony and Tom discussing business during their breaks. Total dweebs.
Pretty much.
Tom, ever the person with the grandest exits. Too bad this picture didn't convey the fog and fanfare that left with him. Over Bryan's shoulder, you can see our tally mark against the black widows. How many skateboards do you see in the picture? Winner gets a sweet tote bag!
Boo Yeah!
