The End

I have made a business decision, that I am no longer involved in the day to day operations of Ugly in the North Shore. I have nothing to do with its operations or management and will no longer be in the building.

I wish Ugly the very best of luck in the future. I am sure it will continue to do great.

If you have any questions, please call my cell phone at 412-583-6416

Take care and THANK YOU for 3 1/2 great years.

Bubba

I know....I know

My name is Bubba and I have a LOST problem.
(I am addicted to the TV show Lost and it's not healthy)
Nevermind...

How long it has been since I posted.
Unfortunatly a giant black cloud has been following me around since I last posted.
How bad? (in no specific order)
My dad's in the hospital.
My wife broke her ankle.
My fire suppression system erupted causing the fire alarm to go off and sent water rushing through the basement.
My car engine blew up.
That is just a FEW things to get started.

But...no matter how low we go....we put our head down and move forward.
Baseball season has not lived up to its expectaions.
With the Pirates losing and the crappy weather the last two weeks....what can you do.
This team is too good to have this bad of a record.
They will turn it around

A guy I know just called me and gave me a heads up that a few of the UGLY bartenders have applied for jobs at another bar that is just opening up. We will see how this plays out.

There have been several UGLY staff members that have REALLY stepped to the plate. It is amazing. Good people, that want to help us and themselves. They know who they are and I am forever grateful and thankful that they are a part of the UGLY family. With everything going on in my life, it is good to know they are here.

Dave Crawley from Channel 2 is doing a piece on me tomorrow (KDKA). Radio Personality, Bar owner, husband and father of 4, softball coach, pro wrestler...must be a REALLY SLOW NEWS DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright....come to UGLY Friday for Happy Hour.
$1 Domestic Draft Beer 5p-7p

Things that make you go....

I hate the fact that I just made the title to this post based on a C & C Music Factory...oh well.
I need to find time to post here....it seems like it makes for a nice release.

Well, we are only days away from Pirate season. It's funny.....that thing we call time.
It seems like just yesterday the Steelers won the Super Bowl....but yet it seems like FOREVER to get to baseball season.

I am so excited about our product.
We really are on the ball.
We are in the midst of hiring some new people to join the UGLY family.
Always a bit wierd when you add new people to the mix. We have such a cool group in the house now (Hi Tina), that when you add new people it can get tough.

For example today. Lunch was busy. But yet one person called off of work. That person calling off work took everything into complete dissaray. If that person shows up. Lunch is stellar. They do not...and things get crazy. I think teamwork is more important in the bar/restaurant industry more so than any other industry I know.

How about this for some crap.
Yesterday someone shows up to shut off our water (don't worry...it never got shut off).
Now, you might be saying...boy Bubba, you should be paying your bills. Well, I AM!!!!
You see, I pay all of my bills...but...they just realized that the people that were in this building before me had not paid their water bill since June of 2004......and according to the City Water Authority....the bill stays with whatever tenant is in the building.
IS THAT CRAZY?!?!?!?!?!?!
I had to pay someone else's water bill for 18 months before I ever even took over this building.
Someone call city council...get the mayor on the phone.......

I have a cool happy hour for Friday.
Daylight Saving Drinking Time!
$1 Domestic Drafts
$1 Well Drinks
5p - 7p

Such a deal!

You gotta come on down and eat our food....it really is that damn UGLY!

Also this Wednesday night is the finals to our wing eating competition.
8 crazy sons of bitches eating the hottest wings in the world....whoeve eats the most wins a trip to Punta Cana .........

Come watch the devastation.........

Ok.....e-mail me with some feedback

Too Much

Sometimes in the bar/restaurant industry....it's like celebrity deaths...they come in three's.
In one day. I had both printers behind the main bar crap out....and then the final shoe fell when the computer that runs the kitchen decided to stop working.
Talk about making business impossible.
Thank God for a friend of mine named Patrick who also happens to be pretty computer savy. He hasn't been able to fix the one computer...but at least we have everything working.
I just wonder if the company that sold me everything is laughing??? I will have the last laugh!

We are ready for March Madness. $2 Miller Lites for every single NCAA tourney game. Plus the Mega March Madness package.

Tomorrow is St. Patty's Day. $3 Guiness all day and night...even for the Pitt game.
While my neighbors raise their prices on big days....I want to be different. I offer drink specials....novel idea!?!

By the way....I don't think I have written about this yet. Besides being a dad, a radio guy, a bar owner...I also am a pro wrestler.
This Saturday night I am wrestling for the IWC in Elizabeth.
If you are a fan this should be a great show.
Check out their website fore more details: www.iwcwrestling.com

Take care and talk to you soon....
