as i write this, ronda & phil have been in merry old england for just a few days…

the friday before their departure, there was a gathering at sweet & vicious. a goodbye thang.

sweet & vicious has a nice-sized back “garden” area… thick wooden tables with benches to match. the “gathering” had the entire back wall — which was draped in a huge american flag. apparently, the area that we were in used to be a back bar that served only frozen drinks. the establishment itself is long and narrow — like many nyc bars. the bartender was pretty cool — she even searched high and low for a bottle of pims for me.

the gathering was a mix of friends and co-workers for both ronda and phil. everyone was quite cool and it was great to see so many folks turn out to say goodbye and good luck to ronda and phil.

sadly, i was quite ill on that day and i spent a fair amount of time drinking club soda and dreaming of eating saltines later in the evening.
