Wow. I was initially put off by the lengthy, verbose, elegant periphrasis (my word of the day!), but watched the first vid and after just one minute can attest that Senor Tito has got it. Thanks for the heads up.

You can still show up early and grab a spot at the bar. That's my plan. There's room for about five people at that bar. Ok DSOP, so should I just stay home then?!??!
