Last night the lovely Clare set up a benefit for everyone's favorite Zeitgeist bartender Steve, and boy did people step up to the plate! The simple, yet poignant flyers read "Drink for Steve!" and all monies taken in by the 500 Club from 6pm-9pm went to help him pay some hefty medical bills.
People were spilling out of taxis continuously. It was a perfect example of true alcoholic solidarity, I mean I actually saw people who don't drink on Sundays going for it with gusto. Throwing back pint after pint, shot after shot and ya know, the really cool kids were drinking the PBR.
In true Mission community style, it was jovial, plenty of dogs bounding around, low key and with just a few groups of overly happy folks leaving the bathroom in pairs and heading to the photo booth. Thankfully, even though the 500 has rid themselves of the pool table and video games, they know the booth is an essential playground for the establishment.
If you aren't familiar with Steve, he's a real hoot, a one of a kind genuine soul. He's also a highly talented karaoke singer, as evidenced here:

You can give to Steve's cause at Bender's on May 16 or at Annie's on May 17th, there will be more rock in those two days than you can handle!
