Scott,
Hey, what's up, man. Thanks for the reply, and sorry to hear about your back. Hope everything's alright with you now. I'm not sure where I was the last time I wrote you, so here's a quick recap. This all started with your bartending videos. I did my first flair bartender competition after six months of training (Best in the West). I had no routine -- just got up there and flopped -- but I guess it wasn't as bad as I thought; I got 6th out of 9 in my heat (which for my level was pretty cool, I thought). Well, I was taking the Flair Devil's working flair course at the time, and the next day, while at the class Steve Pacheco said he heard about my "performance" and ended up offering me a barback job at Carnaval Court. He says, "Would you be opposed to being a barback again?" I'm like, "At Carnaval Court?!! I'll be the guy who takes the trash out!!" So anyway, Steve got me a barback job at Carnaval Court, and it's pretty much the greatest place in the world. I've been working there for almost three months now, and it's awesome. My second competition was King of the Ring II (semi-pro). I didn't do as well as I would have liked (I missed going to the Finals by one place -- I came in 6th overall) -- had a lot of drops and butchered my juggle -- but oh well. My practice is hovering around four hours a day, so I'm gonna have to kick it up a couple notches. That's pretty much where I stand. I'm not doing another competition for a while (probably Flips for Tips in October), 'cause I just wanna practice and not worry about competing for now. I have a Level Test at work in one week (speed, accuracy, working, and exhibition rounds to think about), so I'm getting ready for that, but after that I can relax and try to make some progress. These guys are so good out there, and I'm kinda starting a little late (I'm 26 now!). I will say that flair guys will see me sometimes and they go "Hey, you're that guy that's always at the park!" (that's the designated practice spot in town), and that's pretty cool. Yeah, so, it's not a TOTAL success story yet (if I become a bartender at Carnaval, THEN my story will be complete!), but it's still farther than I thought I would come in a fairly short amount of time. And it started with your video series, brother! That's funny, huh? I remember watching the first video thinking, "If I could just learn that stuff, I'd be set!" Then I got the next video and I remember being blown away. I was pretty sure that I'd never be able to do all that stuff. But it pushed me, so I gotta say thanks. Scott, you da man, and maybe in a couple years you'll be able to say, "Hey, I remember when that guy bought my first video series!" Thanks again. Shaun Plummer -- Shaun Plummer |

hi there, scott. hope all is well with you. i know you must have been busy lately. how was vegas? my name is kimberly. we have spoken a couple of times. i am the girl from fort hood, tx, sixty miles north of austin.
i work at the local red lobster. first, i must thank you again. i have a fifteen video set on working flair, competition and tadem flair. i have been practicing some simple comfortable moves, and have been improving in all sorts of ways behind the bar. my money and tips have increased, and i am just having an all around good time. i am writing because i have some exciting news: one of the local bars is having a competition. it is nothing serious, more fun than anything which makes me less nervous since it will be my first one. i tend to freeze on a "stage". because i am new to that experience, i am nervous, but i remind myself that it is just another bar i am working in. not to mention the practice and preparation so that i can not only impress others, but impress myself!! another bartender that works at this bar called me with the details and was inspired to put on "real" competitions here with sponsers. i was hoping i could pick your brain for some information and advise. i know you must be busy, so only at your convenience. thanks so much. do take care... -- Kimberly Staggs ( Texas ) |

Dear Scott Young (Extremebartending.com),
The Bartenders Guild would like to thank you for your generous support at this year’s FLAIRFEST. Without you and your company this amazing event could have never taken place. We have received excellent positive feedback from the fans, judges, organizers, competitors, and other sponsors/venues. FLAIRFEST III was the largest cash and prize total we have ever had in three years of running a total of nine flair bartending competitions and the largest in Canada to date. With your support the event is becoming more and more popular at a local and international level. I hope you and your company have both found this to be a promising investment in exposure and promotion and that you will continue to support us through the years to come. Till next time around…Thanks Sincerely, Dave Simpson The Bartenders Guild -- Dave Simpson ( Kelowna ) |
