UNION gallery and CARTER

on friday night, i packed the car with three boxes and few bottles of alcohol and liqueurs and fruit and glassware, picked up some bourbon and grenadine on the way, ordered some ice, as i had stopped on a red light and carried it all two flights of stairs to set the bar up in a beautiful and spacious loft in east london's teesdale street, above the union gallery.


it was for art. carter gallery around the corner hosted my friend sarah baker's show le fan fan and whose idea was to have cocktail in the finishing party and as i always like to be involved in interesting and alternative happenings, i naturally said yes!


from my previous experience with bright light bright light event, i decided not to go overboard with stock and use my existing, as i am getting the hang of it and have plenty left; business woman, innit? more like little money, plenty of brains! ha!


the list contained gin daiquiri, which, as i have said before, an exquisite drink and a total joy to make, ginger mai tai, with ginger sirop i wanted to get rid of, giving it a delicious kick for the sweet tooth and perfect manhattan, because i knew a lot of folk, sarah included, were bourbon drinkers!


i did not expect to be as busy as i was and since i was on my own, i had total control , everyone got served as quickly as possible and i had compliments, made a new contact, less stock and money in the till!


i was listening to bittersweet symphony for the second time as i was clearing up, which put a smile in my face, for reasons all mine to relish...


preparing the winterball soiree with abundant passion and excitement; let the new challenge begin...
