Friday September 25 · Mount Pleasant

Thank you.
That was a very good night.

A line-up of drinks that had never been poured anywhere, a shelf of bottles nobody had seen, and a room that stayed full until we ran out of reasons to stop. Here’s the night.

On film · the drinks

What was in the cups.

Three taps, a shelf of bottles, one very large tin of olives and more citrus than anyone planned for. The film came back from the lab this week.

The night

What it looked like.

Drag, swipe or use the arrows. The film frames come first, then ours off a phone: bottles, hands, and the bit of the evening where the music won. Every photo has a save link under it.

Your turn

You took better photos than we did.

Add them here and we’ll put the good ones into the slider above. Anything you send gets a look from us before it goes up, so nothing lands on the page by surprise.

Photos, up to 6 at a time. Your phone’s originals are fine — they get resized here in the browser before they send, so nothing times out on mobile data. Video is too big for this form: email clips to [email protected] and we’ll add them. By uploading you’re happy for us to use the shot on this page and on Sprizzini and Rough Works social.

The free website

We said nine.
It was not nine.

In fairness to us, we spent a week building a line-up of drinks engineered specifically to make people lose track of time. Then we drank them. The drinks worked exactly as designed. The schedule did not.

So the announcement happened somewhat later than nine, to a room that had entirely stopped checking. We regret nothing except the timekeeping.

One name came out of the hat, and it’s a real five-page website — designed, built and launched on your own domain, with a year of hosting. Sophia, check your email.

Thank you

Four thank-yous
we very much owe.

Three of them were working while the rest of us drank, and the fourth handed us a floor and trusted us with it. The film frames through this page are back from the lab; the phone shots in the slider are ours, grabbed between pours. Pushr’s cut is still to come.

Film

Pushr Video

Vancouver video production. They shot the night end to end — the cart, the room, and the part after seven.

Liam

Ran the music from the first pour to the last one, read the room all night, and is the reason nobody checked the time. Records as Pizzy.

Suite Genius

They gave us the whole third floor in Mount Pleasant — kitchen, patio, sound and all — and never once asked what the taps were for. You can book the same space.
