My Birthday

My birthday is days away. I know all of you are racking your brains silly with what it is I want. Well, I thought I would write a little wishlist here, as a quick check of the tower logs inform me the Amazon.com button has only been clicked a few times. Here it goes:

1. Toyota FJ Cruiser

2. Anything on the Amazon.com wishlist. See how easy I am? I’m easy like Sunday morning.


Bar Build 022: Bar Gear

I wanted to take the time out to share my “Things for the Bar” Wish List I have been compiling with you. This is a different list than the one I have at kegworks.com(link on the right colum). Positive and negative comments are more than welcome, as this is the time for changes. You can leave links to items in the comments section if you so desire. Bash or praise the following stuff. I included the links to the items so if you felt like purchasing anything off the list, please feel free! In addition to my enduring gratitude, you will drink for free for life. On second thought, that is not much of an incentive as everyone else will be drinking for free too. Anyone that contributes will forever be emblazoned on a plaque hung behind the bar.

 

Here is the little list I compiled:

 

Neighborhood Pub Tavern/Pub Sign 49.99

 Bar Sign

 

It is available at Renee’s Perfect Gifts. (Item# TS111) Border Color: Green

The personalization would be:

 The O’Shea’s Neighborhood Pub. Est.2010. Welcome. Pull Up A Stool. Good Times, Cold Drinks & Great Friends. Brian and Laurie O’Shea- Proprietors.

 

The sign above has matching coasters:

Personalized Set of 4 Ceramic Bar Coasters With Wood and Iron Holder… $32.95 

coasters:

 bar_coaster

 

They are also available at Renee’s Perfect Gifts. (Item# TC111) Border Color: Green

The personalization would be:

  The O’Shea’s Neighborhood Pub. Established 2010. Welcome. Brian & Laurie O’Shea-Proprietors.

 

Cool right? I know!  Here is another idea:

 

CR56-BK Black 1950′s Classic Pay Phone Replica $85.00

 old Phone

CR56-BK Black 1950′s Classic Pay Phone Replica $85.00

This old phone is available here: Cool Stuff Cheap

 

This working phone would look pretty cool behind the bar. It is a 1950’s design, but I think it will fit in nicely.  

 

Map of Ireland 29.99 (146 framed)

 Map of Ireland

Found at Posters.com. Frame: Mahogany Top Mat: Black

 

How cool would that Map of Ireland look on the wall?

 

This next one I believe I may be pushing my luck a little. Ok a lot. But seriously, Laurie really really wants it. See how I do that? Shift the focus right to Laurie. She is rolling her eyes at me right now. But at the same, curiously not ordering me to stop posting this:

 

NAMCO Ms. Pacman / Galaga Home Cocktail Table $3,700

 It is available here: Teamstore.com. You buy this for us, you get your very own plaque above the bar with your name emblazoned in bronze glory. Oh,  and a reserved seat at the bar with your name embroidered on it. That way, no one can say: ”This is your seat? Well, I don’t see your name on it!” At that point, you can just laugh and point at your name while they walk away sheepishly.

 

Even better after the fourth beer

 

These next two signs I really like, hopefully you do too.

Razzle Dazzle Martini Framed Print 126.00

NewAir AI-100BK Portable Icemaker In Black With 28 Pound Daily Ice Making Capacity 189.00

 Ice Maker

 

Restaurants and bars often look to commercial icemakers as a way to produce frosty beverages for their customers but unfortunately, these types of units can cost thousands of dollars. Thankfully, if you simply want to enjoy icy drinks in the comfort of your own home or if you like the idea of being able to produce ice cubes instantaneously with the push of a button, the NewAir AI-100BK compact portable icemaker will do the job.

Housed in a sleek, black body and sporting a compact design, this amazing portable ice cube maker produces enough ice cubes to supply a crowd within 15 minutes. Also perfect for parties, barbecues, or hot summer days, the AI-100BK has the ability to make up to 28 pounds of ice per day, and it even gives you the choice of three ice cube sizes. Installation is also a breeze: because this portable ice maker does not require a water source or drainage line connection, simple plug it in into a standard household outlet, fill it with tap or bottled water, and start enjoying ice wherever you might need

There you have it,a small sampling of items that will be found in and hanging around the bar. What do ya think? Once again, positive and negative comments welcome!

 


Wish List

As many of you may know, my birthday is fast approaching. Ok, it is in August, but still one can never plan far enough in advance. To avoid the sleepless nights tossing and turning about what to get yours truly, I created a carefully selected wishlist.  CLICK HERE TO SEE THE LIST.  The wishlist should come up.  If not you could use the old standby…..telephone. Just call and ask. Why so picky about presents for my bar build? I do not want it to become a hodge podge of items thrown together. That’s right wikipedia baby.

Hodge-podge-A group of often dissimilar objects brought together with no apparent order. A jumble.

It is going to be a classy joint, not something one would find in a frat house with leftover kitchen appliances and glass some kid stole from mom the night they left for college. I have already obtained from awesome brotha’ Keith and supa dupa sista’ Caroline of the Rhode Island Contingent (Thanks homies!) a blender and collection of glasses that will give the bar some character.  By the way…where are all the comments you guys promised? Slackers.

I have now become the easiest person to buy for, just check the list.  Price ranges from 2.50 to 500.
