    Saturday night I traveled south to Orange County to bartend a surprise birthday party in San Clemente.

The host had done extensive planning…

  • Calabasas Bar Mitzvah

    Last night, I bartended my first Bar Mizvah at the Calabasas/ Agoura Hills Community Center and was pleasantly surprised out how it turned out.
