Were you in a bar last night? Did you notice piles of dirty glasses and cocktails with no ice? Was your bartender unusually cranky? Well, you can blame 111 Minna and Fernet! Last night they coaxed the brightest, best, sexiest and swiftest of barbacks out for the 1st Annual Barback Olympics.
We cheered on the barbacks from such illustrious watering holes as Benders, The Homestead, Annie's Social Club, John Colins and that place with the outdoor patio. They performed magnificent and rigorous feats of wonder such as
Fruit cutting
An ice bucket race which incorporated tire maneuvering skills
Beer stocking race
Keg changing
There was plenty of flesh on display and the open bar kept the good times rolling!

I heard there was some food and Blasthaus DJ action but all I saw was the bottom of a Fernet glass.
Who won, who knows? They all did a stellar job, my money was really riding on the gal from Homestead though!
