Oyster Bake at St. Mu

[Ramos]

Great time at Oyster Bake last night. The bands were good. The crowd was HUGE. Would you believe they ran out of oysters around 10:30. At least that's was I was told when I went to get a last couple of shots.

Lots of security. Didn't see any acting out at all.

My only complaint was that you had to put down a $10. (cash) deposit for a knife to open your oysters. A little much, for a necessary item, I thought. Would have prefered to just buy one for $2.00. Probably gonna lose it anyway. Would rather be out $2.00 then 10.00.

All in all, it was good...


P.S. Off topic but, ever been dumped?

The $10 was a deposit!!! If you had taken the knife back to the booth you would've gotten all your money back dude!

I know it was a deposit. I did, in fact, take it back and got my money back. I guess I wasn't too clear on my complaint. To me, it seems that they, and we, would be better off selling the cheap little oyster opening knives for a little above what they were worth which I estimate about $2.00 or maybe $3.00 rather then make us put down a $10.00 deposit. If we lose them, which would be easy given the crowds. drinks, etc etc. we would only be out a couple of bucks, instead of !0.00. Unless, of course, they are planing on not getting them back and pocketing the $10.00.
It already costs $20.00 just to get on the grounds and get the privilege of buying coupons to buy the food. Not complaining about that tho. It's all going for a good cause. Just saying a $10.00 deposit for a $3.00 knife seems to be over the top. Next year I'll bring my own damn knife and keep my mouth shut.

Not blaming St. MU for this. I understand that they hire a company to run this thing for them. They probably aren't even aware of it, unless the Brothers go out
and buy a few oysters.
