A barstool literally covered in sackcloth, which goes really well with the naturalistic decor of the Troppo Cafe.
This week's challenge in Project SoulPancake is called Art at Arm's Reach. It goes a little something like this:
STEP ONE
Scavenge around your desk, barstool, couch cushions for anything handy. And we mean anything: paper clips, poker chips, fake eyelashes, junk mail, bullet casings.
STEP TWO
CREATE ART.
STEP THREE
Bask in your artistic brilliance.
Repeat as desired.
I can't even begin to tell you how therapeutic this was. As a kid, I always loved arts and crafts. In fact, there is still, to this day, a craft box in my parents' basement that's filled with all sorts of random odds and ends. Toilet paper rolls, toothpicks, cotton balls, q-tips, acorns, popsicle sticks, string, empty bandaid tins, glitter, glue, stickers...anything and everything my mom thought I could possibly want to use. And on rainy days or really any day where I was bored and looking for something to do, my mom would pull out the craft box and I'd make something. I'd forgotten how much fun it is. To just completely focus your attention and energy onto creating.
And really, I guess that's what my photography is to me these days. That tiny slice of my day devoted to nothing but me and whatever I can dream up and create. I think that's why I love it so much. It's my time to get away from whatever else is bothering me and channel my energy into something that is purely mine.
But after this little challenge, I think I may be putting aside some time to do crafts again too. Now I understand why Joel is getting so much out of his Made Project.
Special thanks to Shannon who gave me this tin of monkey mints. And to my favorite wine (Good Harbor Fishtown White) for providing me with the cork. :)

Here we are at the bar waiting for a vacant dining table.
I love restaurants that are thoughtful enough to make space for a bar in their establishment so that the early arrivals like Me for instance and my cohorts here can sit and survey what is going to be their domain for the next hour or two and get in a nice relaxed mood for some great dining.
I always arrive early and sit at the bar if I can, It's just my thing and that is mainly because I can sit up there on a high stool and drink in the ambiance surrounding me and if I am feeling sociable, which I always am I can talk to the barman, barmaids or other lone patrons which is always a nice way to begin the evening.
Carmines is a popular restaurant chain in the US which is based in New York I believe but they are all over the place.
As you can see the bar is stocked rather well and so are the seats. *lol*.

VERSE
No more music
No more songs
No more people
No more dance
Memories
Phantoms
Drunken fantasies
Beer and champagne
and emptiness
Alone again
Wandering up and down stairs
Lying on wood floors smelling of wax
and spilled lager
just before dawn
No one is coming
No one is going
Everyone is elsewhere
I am here
And I'm staring at a barstool
Remembering.
It's a small comfort
But it is of some help.
This very colorful house was quite close to the first flat we rented on Spengergasse in Vienna...
translated it would be something like; Lesbian and Gay(male) house!
I walked past it almost daily, but only ventured in once for a Krügel glass of nice Austrian Beer (perhaps I had two glasses can´t remember?) but the time I was there was rather boring, since it was only me and the barmaid, but I do remember that I looked out the window and saw this wonderful city in the middle of Europe and I started crying silently while drinking the beer, exactly where I aways wanted to live, only that I didn´t know that someone had created a city so much in my stile...
Peace and Noise!

Café Frequenters Episode 202
------------------------------------------
the night is humid, the foreigner walked down by the river, summer, in his hand a bottle of Ottakringer in his other hand a Winston cigarette....
Walking at random, no he was following the canal, on a hunt, on a hunt to find his place, he had walked past a few brothels, very easy to recognize, locked up behind doors, windows all covered up, often with glowing lights, often painted heart outside, just like in Copenhagen, he thought, if is probably the same design all over the world?
No the sign this character was looking for in the nights darkness was of a different sort, he was looking for a Logo, most of all he wanted to see a glowing logo of his favorite beer glowing in the night, that was Ottakringer, but really Gösser, Zwettler. Trumler, Morenbrau, Stiegl or Kaiser would do... even a foster sign would be great...
But then again Foster sign he only saw once, on the other side of town, Yes it was an Australian pub, Johnny didn´t like foster or that crock-beer, but still it was nice to talk english for once at the pub and any beer could be swallowed, wine, whiskey, gin, anything... anything with any containing alcohol.
He, laughed to him self when he thought ok One think I won´t drink again is that brown wine Mack had sold him in the park in Sweden, that tasted exactly as it looked, luke warm and in a plastic bottle, but then again it only cost him 10 Swedish Squids!
what was that up a head another glowing object, to far yet to tell if it was a bar brother or something else!
Yes! it is true, it is an Ottakriger beer sign, great this walk started getting rather long, I guess I am almost in Floridsdorf now, he thought to himself...
...he carefully tried to open the door, it had happened before that the door would be locked, that would be the worst, so close to the finishing line...
...as always he made a quick scanning of the place, mostly men, 50-65 three Women 45-55
Atmos: Friendly, laughing but a bit dull... ok great this place fits him... he goes over to the barmaid and says: Morgen, Herr-frau Ober "Een" Krügel vom fass und eine kleiner whiskey bitte!
people around the bar was laughing, Johnny knew that this wasn´t correct German, but it worked and often got some laughs...
...he started zipping the whiskey and drunk a quarter then he needed to empty the bladder and since the toilet was right next to the jukebox he put q Euro in it and pressed for some Abba and some Falco, that would always make things go a bit more party at in pubs in Vienna...
when he went to the sleazy loo he tried to listen to the voice outside, he could hear some words, like foreign, gay, amusing!
Great Johnny thought to himself...
When he came back a really heavy man and a thin older man had started to dance to the Abba music one miming to Agneta´s lines... Johnny wiggled his hips aa bit when walking to his barstool again...
when he came back he the fat man also sat down next to him then he asked in German:
Hello Young man, where are you from, are you a tourist or do you live here...
Johnny replied: Hello Older man, I come from Sweden...
The man said the standard phrase: But you are not blond and has blond hair...
Johnny who was rather tired to debate or explain to Austrians that not all Swedes are blond and blue-eyed just replied I am mixed, English and a tint of Jewish and more...
by then the jukebox had started the next tune, Falcos Jeanny Johnny Knew very well that this specific tunes was one that people often liked to debate and talk about, so now the thin older man joined their company...
He said: Falco, He was one sad man, I knew him, well I used to bump in to him on bars...
Now Johnny had all he wanted, Whiskey, beer, cigarettes, music, company and a conversation...
----
Jimmy Pulled the page out of his typewriter he loathed it, he spat at it then took a lighter and put it aflame... Why is it so hard to write a good story...
he took a new fresh white paper put it in the machine and started...
Johnny was walking down the river one quite humid and dark summer night....
He stopped, threw the paper in the bin, felt his chin, oh he started to have a beard, no good for an säpo ex-agent, he took his Whiskey bottle to his cramped tiny toilet and started shaving in stead....

Some people collect coins, stamps, bottle caps, or even cameras. Siegfried collected barstools. Through a series of trades with other barstool aficianados, Siegfried;s collection became world reknown. Sadly, a warehouse fire in the ninth ward consumed most of his collection, and Siegfried had to start all over again.
“And so me and Murray and the boys is sittin’ around having a brewski. It’s been this loooong frickin’ day – what with that frickin’ census and all. You can hardly find yourself a barstool. I mean Bethlehem is frickin’ over-frickin’ run wit these freakin’ tourist types. Ain’t no vacancy anywhere. They’re sleeping in the parks. They’re sleeping in barns…in da alleys. Geez!
“Anyway in walk Scooter and Zippy. You know these guys? Those two shepherds? They come in all worked up – so freakin’ excited they can hardly talk.
“I says ‘Sit down. Relax, guys. You are agitated right now. You been spending too much time wit sheep.’
“And Zippy goes ‘You would not freaking believe what we just saw.’
“And I go ‘What?’
“And Scooter says ‘There we are. Looking at sheep like we always do. Same sheep. Different night. All of a sudden badda boom badda bing! The skies open up and (you are not gonna believe this…) but a whole bunch of freakin’ ANGELS come down. There’s light all over the place and music and all kinda crap-that-I-can’t-figure-out-what-it-is.’
“And I take a drink and go ‘Sure, Scooter, whatever you say.’
“And Zippy goes ‘No, man. It’s true! And they’re hollering stuff like ‘Do not be afraid’ which is not gonna freaking happen cause this scary stuff. Scooter beside me almost pees his freakin’ pants. (Which is a thing I can kinda relate to but ain’t gonna discuss any further.)
“Then the angel says ‘I bring you news of great joy which will be for all the people.’ And I go ‘What?’ and the angel goes ‘A saviour has been born to you. He is Christ, the Lord.’
“And I go ‘Uh huh, whatever.’
“And the angel goes ‘You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.’
“I go ‘You mean like in a BARN?’ Angel looks at me and goes “Yeah…”
“I look at Scooter and he nods. I look at Zippy and he nods too – like I’m gonna believe that. And then they go ‘We are gonna see if dis Saviour is in the barn down the street, wrapped wit cloth. You wanna come?’
“And I go ‘Yeah. Sure. Like the Saviour of the whole fricking planet is gonna be in a barn? Give your head a shake, pal. Have a brewski. Relax.’ (Now you know Zippy and Scooter like their beer.) But they both say ‘no’ and leave a perfectly good bar to go running outta there and off to da barn.
“You believe that?”

Last Friday 13th of May 2022 was a lucky day for me! I had a good time during a Zoom meeting with favorite girlfriends across the US & Canada. It started at 4 pm Alaska time. I excused myself after 2 hrs. to join a local trans group on Zoom, but that link didn't work. Suddenly I realized I was really hungry, I knew the kitchen would be open at the club so I hopped in my car and went there. There I had a special, ribs made in a fabulous guava juice mix, accompanied by smashed little potatoes, and ear of barbequed corn with a mayonnaise and cheese on it! OMG this was a fabulous meal! While there I got to introduce some details of Alaska to a gay couple from Fort Lauderdale (they had their winter coats LOL!) who had just flown into Anchorage to attend a wedding near a glacier the next day. Since I'll be traveling this week, I decided to reduce chances of picking up the latest covid virus and leave the club before the Friday night crowd arrived. Back home I as happy to find the US & Canadian girls kept the Zoom meeting going. A few of us continued for 3 more hours!

Pleae keep in mind if you want to teleport to the SLurl below, that the new round opens to public on February 4th, 2016.
A blind man enters a bar and finds his way to a barstool. After ordering a drink, and sitting there for a while, the blind guy yells to the bartender, "Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?"
The bar immediately becomes absolutely quiet. In a husky, deep voice, the woman next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, you should know something. The bartender is blond, the bouncer is blond and I'm a 6' tall, 200 pound blonde with a black belt in karate. What's more, the fella sitting next to me is blond and he's a weightlifter. The woman to your right is a blonde, and she's a pro wrestler. Think about it seriously, mister. You still wanna tell that blonde joke?"
The blind guy says, "Nah, not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times."
sorry folks.
Have a great Tuesday!
