Do you know anybody who's into the "bar scene"? When I was younger, I
downed a few cocktails or two. If you're going to make any "connection"
it will be there. Once you're a "regular" or frequent a particular bar,
you can pick up on all sorts of information. We're not talking about the
restaurant/cocktail kind of bar. We're talking about a bar-bar. Where
the good ol' boys go. I know this places a person in an awkward
position, but what can you do?
Good luck.
