Had some folks in Buzzy’s Country Store yesterday who were here visiting for a reunion. One of the visitors told me about his restaurant The Black Wolf Supper Club in Eugene Oregon. He then showed a video on his phone of some folks at The Black Wolf bar doing Shotski’s. The following is not the Black Wolf video but another one I found on YouTube. It will give you some idea of what Shotski’s are all about.
Proving once again that I need to get out more, this was my first encounter with the Shotski phenomena. As I noodled around however, I learned that Shotski’s have been around for some time now (click here.) One vendor even markets his Shotski’s with the motto – “Friends don’t let friends drink alone.”
If I thought that I could implement something like that at Buzzy’s I would try doing so. However, it looks like Shotski’s involve a little too much organization and coordination to make it a go at Buzzy’s where folks like their shots straightforward, quick and no b.s. I think I’ll hold off for now trying Shotski’s at Buzzy’s.
And speaking of drinking alone, have you gotten your tickets to see George at the Calvert Museum in a couple weeks?
