In the afternoon I started to pray for rain (to shut down our celebrity competitor who was holding his event outside) but then I decided I was being vindictive and so I prayed for ease and blessing for the benefit of all sentient beings. Who knows – maybe it worked.
In the end it did pour, and people did come to us – 450 in total. Maybe we’ve stumbled onto something – the bartenders? (see the first few photos), the music?, the spot?, the vibe? We’ll see again next month.
P.s. – you can see me walk by in photo 10 if you look hard enough.
