...well, maybe not. But I did have some fun a couple of weeks ago when my Greek friend, Kimon, asked me to join him one evening at the Buddha Bar. He was friends with the DJ (of course) and was trying to recruit the bartender to come consult for him at his hotel in Thessaloníki. 
Given that we weren't supposed to get there until around 10PM, I was a tad reluctant (since we did have class the next morning), but Kimon is Greek! No problem! We never go out before 10PM! We always work the next morning!Perhaps if I had accepted a little more training from the inimitable Stephan W., I would have been better prepared. You see, when I go out to dinner or grab a drink back home, it's one glass of wine - or if I'm going crazy, maybe two. Going to the Buddha Bar with Kimon, it's a glass of wine, followed by a Long Island Ice Tea (that
Kimon so thoughtfully ordered for me), followed by a 
vanilla vodka shot (that Kimon so considerately arranged for us w/his new bartender friend), followed by a rhubarb shot (quite delicious and graciously called for by...ummm...what's his name?), followed by the cucumber shot (lovely and soft and...no...wait...it's Kimon, right?), and some other something or other thing I...uh...what was I saying?
