RE: Happy Birthday Haley Elizabeth (all week long)
^ Captain Dinkens, nice tribute...you've perfected the yell, but singing in the shower is your thing!
Hey...at the 2:30 mark of the above video is Michelle, blonde lady to Haley's left with the sunglasses on top of her head. When she arrived at the party she came to the backyard by herself alongside the garage where the karaoke was set-up. Four of us Halien guys were standing there and I shouted out to her, "I know you...I saw you on Idol". I'm sure her first thought was, wow, what have I gotten myself into here.
Michelle, high school classmate of Patti's (they claim the class of '92  ), was in the crowd on Top 6 results night of Season 10 Idol. The night Casey went home. The night Jimmy Iovine said Haley didn't know who she was as a singer. The night Haley slipped in a comment about Jimmy's critique that was bleeped out on TV  Anyway, when Haley walks to center stage to be critiqued on the previous night's performance, the camera goes to the audience and shows Michelle and Patti sitting next to each other. Michelle raises her right arm (somewhat like THF video position) and shouts, "Come on Haley"...and Patti looks at Michelle with the biggest, warmest smile she could give. I think I won the Trivia contest with that one...Yanni was impressed. However, I think Michelle called for security after that.
Happy Birthday Haley!

RE: Happy Birthday Haley Elizabeth (all week long)
Quote:Prohibition-Era Spirits at Ebanos Crossing
Imagine a time during the ‘20s and ‘30s when premium spirits like tequila, mezcal, rum, and whiskey were forbidden, withheld, and sacred; accessible only to the adventurous and unlawful by way of secretive expeditions from Mexico to the United States, through South-central Texas. Ebanos Crossing, the brand-new “cocktail-dining” concept which soft-opened in Downtown LA in early August but will be hosting formal grand openings in September, recalls the mystery, intrigue, and flavors of this stimulating journey through an award-winning cocktail program by mixologist and beverage director Philip Ward.
Named after the Los Ebanos Ford—a floating bridge along the Rio Grande that transported bootleg liquor smugglers from Mexico to Texas—Ebanos Crossing marks a marriage between Urban America and Luminosity Entertainment. The two leading hospitality groups give rise to a transporting enclave, evident from the moment patrons cross into the 5,500-square-foot den of antiquity, laden with old-world furnishings, lavish chandeliers, brick walls, and rich leather sofas, occupying two adjoining spaces.

Small-batch labels of once-illicit spirits like Del Maguey Single Village Mezcal and Laird’s 12-year-old Apple Brandy serve as the cornerstones of cocktail creations designed by Ward, co-owner of Mayahuel in New York. His drinks menu is divided into three categories inspired by geographic routes: El Norte pays tribute to the Northern trails with rum and whiskey drinks; El Sur emphasizes mezcal and tequila from the Mexican border, like the Angel’s Flight with Del Maguey Vida, pamplemousse, aperol, and lime juice; and Ebanos Crossing is the where the northern and southern routes meet.
