Azteca (Elvis Heaven) Needs Our Help! - Page 3

Sohrshah · 01-28-2009, 04:25 PM

Being that I have been busy with full time work and school, plus a very serious and still new romantic relationship, I haven't been on the LoT much lately and I was honestly unaware of what had ocurred that evening. I was just getting to the party as Kevy and Gus Gus were leaving and I didn't realize anything was wrong. I'm very sorry to hear of your injury and bad experience!

That said, this thread was written to encourage assistance for Azteca. Now, it looks as though more harm than good has been done for them. Perhaps the thread should be removed, please?

In any case, I plan to be there between 9:30 and 10 PM this coming Saturday, 1/31/09 to get a drink and watch the karaoke crowd. I hope others will join too.

I expressed my own opinions of the place, but my views are obviously slanted. For those who enjoy and appreciate the joint, I say go. It does have a fun atmosphere (though Karaoke is not my thing). Don't stay away on my accord.

Ok, I'll chime in ... I thought the place provided a wonderful good time. Of course, the company was great. But the decor all around, the happy staff, and especially the tongue in cheek (and other places) decor of the restrooms make the place legendary to me.

That said - and based on my one-time, personal experience only - the food was so-so and the margaritas were meh. I'd still come down Saturday night if I am able, but I have prior plans.

And frankly, I don't see how a week without a liquor licence is going to sink the place. If they are that close to going under, I don't think a week without booze sales is going to save them in the long run. On the other hand, they are an inexpensive restaurant that might have a better niche in the Great Depression II.

But if not, I can't get too worked up about this restaurant closing when 70,000 people lost their jobs THIS WEEK ALONE in the U.S.

I know people are fond of the place, though. And I hope it survives. In solidarity with those friends of mine who are friends of Azteca, I will head down there Saturday night if my iffy plans go south. Azteca is unique and it deserves a reprieve.

We generally don't remove threads on LoT.

Not even a fuschia thread on a black sweater?

It's all good.

You really need to stop leaving your panties on people's sweaters.

Ahhhhh! My brain! Of course, all I could think was that rockabilly fuschia mightn't look so bad on a black sweater....
