Tonight I worked my first concession stand at Conseco. Holy cow was it intense at times!! (Mostly because we had a lot of set-backs ... we ran out of cups and beer regularly!)
It was some FANTASTIC people watching. I also learned how to correctly pour a beer from the tap! I knew to tilt the cup ... but I didn't know you should let the tap run for about 2 seconds before you put your cup underneath. Oops. Some of my first pours had a lot of head on them. Oh well! I got muuuch better by the end of the night!
I also got to steal a glimpse of the concert. I love Gaga, but I have to say, I heard a lot of complaints from some big fans while working! They said her show was amateur: she didn't play enough songs people knew, those that were popular she saved for the very end and she only had one angle on the jumbo-tron, so it was often difficult to really see. *Interesting!*
Thanks to everyone who helped me navigate the concession stand tonight!! And a huge shout out to anyone who went to Lenny's tonight!! I'm going to call tomorrow to find out how well I did!
It was a lot of fun. There is a lot more to a good beer pour than one might think. You learned well, grasshopper. People watching at that show was certainly an event unto itself.
