Let me take you on a small part of my Roadhouse journey...
To me the Roadhouse means family, security, fun, and good friends, and dancing, For real!!
Ha, it's the first and only bar I was kicked out of for fighting, lol even tho I warned you Brad Chown and brought you into the bathroom so I wouldn't fight... I still love you!
I never requested a song because the DJ always played everything I loved... Thank you!
It's where I learned about 2 sided tape for bras, thank you Casey! ❤️ But I still am pouting over all the shots on my 30th birthday... Barf
It's the one place I almost got arrested for the first time because my ex and I hot boxed my car after a Trailer Park Boys thing at Cowboys.
Man, I will miss the pizza.
It's where I met Jordan, Jimmy and Al at the back bar, and I never had to wait for a drink... Best bartenders EVER!
It was guys like Brad, Mike and Baker that made you feel safe because no matter how much you drank they always made sure the drunk guy hitting on you didn't leave with you... a million times over Thank You!
How JR made sure I got in with no trouble and no line, no matter what.
It's meeting Nick Ring, there in a middle of a snow storm and having the best time. Thanks Nick, Brad and Baker for that night.
But honestly the Roadhouse gave me Mike L, my brother. See in 2008 after the Calgary Stampeders won the grey cup, lol which I had no idea so Mike wasnt a big deal to me as I didn't know who he was. But anyway he played for the Stampeders and was at the Roadhouse, at the end of the night I went to buy a slice of pizza and some jerk (Mike) bought the whole box, not one slice, or two or three the whole damn thing. Dang I was hot. I leave and walk outside and some guy was getting in a cab with the whole box, man I ran to that cab like OJ at the airport. I didn't ask for a slice a pizza I just took one. If you know Mike you could picture his face and hear the ... 'Hey' dude you took the whole box I just want one slice.
6 years later he's my brother, my best friend! ( Even calls my mom, Mom and she's in Ontario)
So Roadhouse tonight is a bitter sweet good bye. I didn't know how many memories I had til I went there tonigh to say good bye and saw so many amazing people who will forever be friends or family...
With a smile and love I say goodbye! ❤️😘 XO
