Haiku D'Etat

Even though this was a short trip, I had a riot. Thank you, Jim and Rocky, for being gracious hosts. The menu that I poured while I was there went over well. I tried to bring some fun to the bar and added an interactive game to the drink list. The menu had the Haiku on it so every time someone ordered the drink, we forced them to write one. It's funny to me how many people were dumbfounded and struggled at this request while others seemed to have a haiku ready before we even asked.
