Big Extravaganza Planned For Local Hospitality Folks

There is a big celebration of bar and service industry to ever hit the city. This first annual awards ceremony and party extravaganza will honor the creme de la creme of nightclubs, restaurants, hotels, bars, and lounges. Atlanta's nightlife is a thriving contributor to the city's economy and is the very pulse of residents and tourists alike, who fervently search for fine dining, good music, and beautiful people.
 

The awards extravaganza will acknowledge the movers and shakers in the dining and nightlife industry with over 50 nomination categories ranging from Best Bar & Wait Staff and Best Customer Service to the Best Celebrity Spotting. The venues that win the coveted awards will not only have bragging rights, heightened exposure, and increased traffic, but their patrons will have the opportunity to say they have dined, partied, and celebrity spotted at the Best of the Best this city has to offer.
 

Atlanta is the first city to host an event of this caliber and magnitude, but meetyourindustry.com will take this show on the road, hitting other metropolitan cities, such as Miami, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, Houston, District of Columbia, and Philadelphia. It is not often that bar and service professionals are acknowledged for their significant role in this thriving industry.
 

Bartenders, waitresses, hostesses are on the forefront, providing excellent customer service in fast-paced environments, maintaining order on busy nights, and being courteous to even the most unruly customers. Therefore, illustrating the importance of their position in this business and all the more reason why these awards are both necessary and exciting. This event is for anyone who's ever eaten at a restaurant, partied in a club, stayed in a hotel, had a drink at bar, or met their friends in a lounge…and those moments were all made possible because of the hard work of a service industry professional, so November 17th will be a night to celebrate the consumers as well as the people who make it all happen.

Nude Women To The Rescue of The Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most recognizable and economically vital spans in the nation. So it was not surprising when the U.S. Office of Homeland Security (OHS) discovered the bridge listed on a terrorist memo of potential targets.

However, working with the San Francisco Police Department, the OHS has devised a plan to keep the bridge safe.

“We’ve hired 25 young, beautiful women willing to remove all their clothing and station themselves at strategic points on and approaching the bridge,” explained San Francisco Police Public Information Officer Bruce Onder.

“Hopefully, that will keep religious radicals from coming near the structure.”

According to Dr. Henry Chilvers, Professor Emeritus of Religion and Morality at the University of Sprituality in Sacramento, “Many orthodox faiths demand that a woman cover herself completely, excluding the face and hands, from men except her husband. Most religious zealots who would harm our nation are youths who have not seen one naked woman, let alone many. The shock, shame or simple eye-popping spectacle is going to make them do a U-turn pretty quickly. Or else drive into the bay, which is just as good.”

Operation Bust Attacks, as the project has been named, is scheduled to begin within the next two weeks. Are any problems anticipatedä

“Oh, we imagine we’ll get some complaints from the Religious Right and from parents of small children,” responded Onder. “But it’s the ‘new normal’ so they’ll just have to cover some eyes and deal with it.”

If Operation Bust Attacks is a success, arrangements will immediately be made to have naked women stationed at the Statue of Liberty, Mount Rushmore, the Alamo and Independence Hall.

Expressing the OHS sentiments in a remark that is sure to live alongside Sherman’s “War is Hell” and MacArthur’s “I shall return,” Onder commented, “If the enemy wants to fight dirty, we’ll give ’em dirty.”
