Before my time? Not too many people claim that.

Indeed. T-Bird works for the Tigers now, so he may join us for a few. Plus Boom Boom, if you know him.

yeah, i am an old fricker. Worked there for years back with crazy arse Brian, Anne, Rose, Sarge, etc.....when it was really nuts.

Good ol' Matt (now at the Destrahan store), T-Bird, etc came aboard when i was still there. Ran into him at JazzFest and hung with him all day.

you prob worked with my cousin, he came on as i was leaving.

eta: yeah, T-Bird is good people. Don't know Boom Boom.

My first night working there, was calzone night when they were only 2.99 or 3.99. Any way, I show up, and Mitch tells me to get in the kitchen. Needless to say I never made a damn pie in my life.

Pretty fun working with Brian and having a few drinks while we discussed some of the deeper things in life outside of Rotolos.

Boom = Cespiva (Rugby Bouncer)

When I first started the bartenders were Rose, Jess, Terry, Anne, Mitch's sister-in-law (can't remeber her name)...

Kitchen was Chad, Brian, myself, Matt, Pat K., etc

yep, par for the course.

yeah, Brian was an interesting dude. Were you working there when he flipped his car upside down and it landed against the trees in Fountainhead apts across the street from circle K?

he never had a car when i knew him. i used to love when Mitch would come around and try to collect on everyone's tabs. Brian was always up there, and Mitch would prevent him from drinking until he paid a litte off.

Got you. I ran into the Big bearded Jason that worked that door at that time as well at Phil Brady's last time I was in BR. He was another good guy - along with Jeremy.

gotcha. well hope the dog is cool, dropped a shite ton of cash on mine for heartworm treatment.

assinclass, i have 2 extra tix to UW in the LSU section if your crew needs them. Not looking to make money, they can have them on the cheap.

Appreciate it, we have all ours taken care of. Not sure where we'll be tailgating, just follow the obnoxious people. We have a guy from Seattle who swam for LSU setting us up.
