Austin bartenders are off the hook!
This bartender at the Consumating/Adaptive Path/Odeo party was something to behold. To order a drink you literally needed to bark it out like a marine commando, and then he’d begin flipping bottles and oscillating wildly like Tom Cruise in Cocktail. Alas, he didn’t always catch the bottles he flung through the air. A classic SxSW moment.

I was actually more of a fan of the other bartender - she didn’t do tricks with the bottles though, just with my heart.

I’m such a primate–I saw a hyperactive figure jumping up and down, spinning objects and grunting and I couldn’t rip my eyes away.
You’re the future of the species my friend.

I am not sure that my motivations are all that much more evolved than yours in this case.
Oh! This reminds me (somehow) - I’m already checking out the ol’ long-range forecast for a weekend amenable to motorcycle jaunts northward, and now Micki’s making noise re: borrowing someone else’s bike and chasing me.
