I don’t think this is the sort of #twentytwentyblue cocktail that @zsapato was imagining. (It’s not Covid, but it has turned into an exquisitely painful sinus infection.) Well, Marvel gets to live on in first place for a while longer as I’m stuck home with a bout of respiratory crud. Just had Covid two months ago so it’s probably just due to travel/stress/weather but doing a test to treat visit just to be safe. (Home tests have been negative.) I was updating the bar log after our trip to Australia and noticed that we have hit the moment we knew was closing in. Our top spot has been @marvelbar pretty much since I started keeping track in 2018. Now it’s tied with @spoonandstable which means that when we have our next outing to Spoon (almost certainly this Sunday), Marvel will drop to second place for the first time in four years, despite being closed for two of those. It’s pretty freaking awesome to sit at a bar in Sydney while watching a @worldclassus live feed of your friend and regular bartender compete in the @worldclass finals on the other side of town. Especially when even some of the locals are rooting for her! Seven year old me is freaking out right now - I got to pet and feed a koala!! I’m usually hesitant to do animal encounters because so many are done unethically, but I think we chose well. Their fur is exactly as soft as it looks! We were a bit too far away from @meteor_mpls so we celebrated Mezcal Monday with @cantina.ok instead. (Then I didn’t get pictures of the mezcals @_cmikk had, just my drinks, oops!) The Queen on Sydney Opera House - taken from the window of our room @shangrilasydney We will be in Sydney at the same time that @jessipollak is competing in @worldclass and while we won’t be able to see any of the official events, we are excited about all the pop-ups and other events going on around town!
