Weather: Muggy and in the low 90s. It drizzled a very small bit and made it very humid and sticky out. yuck

Special events?: None that I know of. Other than my 8 year Austin Anniversary. I landed here in this beautiful city 8 years ago. :) You're welcome.

Who worked:
Kelly, Mandy, Cindy. Grace(y) Dusten(y) CL. Chelsea and Gabe host. Melisa trained as Host for day 1. John SA,

Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Moderate start to the night but busy all around. Got a pop around 7:30 and went on a wait. The 6pm party was 20 minutes late and left right at 8pm. The 8pm party showed up as 6, but one of the girls said she wasn't feeling well and wanted to go home but also wanted to make sure they were able to keep their reso. I wasn't going to argue so I said okay. However we had a 7 top waiting in the lobby. I asked the now 5 top if they would be okay with sitting in the dining room if I had a place to put them immediately (which I did) however the one girl seemed bummed and it was her going away party. So I sat them in the party room. They had a great time and actually ended up spending way more than the 7 top (the 7 tops tab barely hit over $100). Night slowed around 9:15, and I made cuts. Went 2 on, then just to Dusten at ten til.

Specials:
none tonight. Had some folks training behind the sushi bar so Take had his hands full....literally.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
Seems tonight all the ladies in the house were a bit irritable and cranky:
- Grace had a mini-melt down when she got triple sat in the back b's (though the tables were paced out by about 2 minutes each) and I told her to go in the office and drink some water and compose herself (she had tears welling in her eyes).
-Mandy was in her own world, feeling that the crowd tonight was "a bit off". She had the lowest sales of the night as well.
-Kelly was also feeling just a bit irritated by things. She handled it well for the most part but you could tell.
-Cindy was great as always. So I guess she was the exception to the rule

Any VIP's in?
