Be memorable: What I learned from mixing Manhattans at 106 mph

Picking up 1,100 pounds of ice, ejecting a stowaway District Attorney, and shining shoes in your sleep — it's all part of my job as a volunteer bartender on a 1930s Pullman railroad car. Vote for me today and you'll learn how to be an architect of memorable experiences on February 16th.

    Congrats! Will there be a podcast or MP3 version for Garden Staters?

    There is no more enjoyable experience available today!

    As we get into the home stretch, thanks for your feedback and votes!

    Terence, people will have to imagine their own jazz, as I don't play an instrument — my three months of piano lessons when I was 8 don't quite count...

    A fantastic idea, and will be a dynamic presentation.

    Do you play 20s jazz on board?

  • Bob&Karen commented  ·   ·  Report

    Sounds like fun - want to know more!

    Tom and Brian, thanks for your support! I have a couple photos of the train in Raleigh — I'll try to work them into my talk.

    @Brad — Thanks for your support!

    @Brian — Glad it caught your attention! There once were 8,000 Pullman railroad cars running across the country. The "Dover Harbor" is one of the last ones left.

    @Charlotte — If only I had Garrison Keillor's baritone... Thanks for your support!

    For some reason, this is the sort of thing I'd expect to encounter on A Prairie Home Companion. Sounds like a fascinating story! Can't wait to hear it.

    I can't put my finger on why, but this one just seemed to grab my attention. Looking forward to seeing if this comes together.
