| - The Rusty Spur Update 2008:
Of course our first stop in Scottsdale after dropping our bags off at the hotel was to the Rusty Spur. The bar is still fun, but poo-poo on them for the new Arizona no-smoking law. We had a hilarious female performer on our first day there who kept calling my friends out by making them sing and dance. That's so friggin cool of her. (I'll update this when I double-check what her name is.) Our ever-familiar bartenders were no longer working there. Sadly, our favorite bartender, Thelma, quit working there five months ago. She was one of the folks who would take care of our loud, rowdy, alcoholic crew. At any rate, still a fun place, but -1* for no more Thelma and no more smoking. This place is still going to remain an annual destination even without those things, but what a shame to have them gone.

I can't wait to go back to Scottsdale for Spring Training and hit up our hole, the Rusty Spur. I'm heading out there and I look forward to the bartenders and live band for my fourth year. The bartenders are awesome and remember my name from year to year. That's pretty cool, since we're only there for six days every year in March. Enjoy the chill vibe inside. This will be updated again upon my return this year.
