I kept reminding people that there was more beer downstairs but everyone seemed content to drink the beer outside. It was very cloudy for the first pint-and-a-half and then it ran clear. Everyone drinking it said it was great. People eventually came downstairs and the Cabana Lager was popular as was the hoppy blonde. A few of use were drinking the Vienna and the Glacier pale ale may have been the least-consumed beer but I know of 2 people who drank that one most of the day. There were some weird bungles though. My flatscreen in the bar had an Comcast error message on it so I couldn't put the baseball game on. I tried a few things and called the evil empire but nothing worked which peeved me. Then... I have three hockey-puck lights over my taps and one went out just as people were arriving. I looked all over for a replacement bulb because it looked like $h!t. After about 30 minutes I found one. Okay, crisis averted. Then my wife comes downstairs to tell me that one of the more... ahem... large guys stepped on the brick steps and the brick came loose. When I went outside she had placed a plastic chair over it. It was as if there were going to be problems no matter what. I quick cleaned that up, put some gorilla glue down and then just put an X with masking tape on the brick. Ugh. I also spent about 90 minutes over the grill in 95° heat and I didn't feel like I had the chance to see everyone for very long. Whew... I'm wiped out. 
Oh... and the next morning the flatscreen in the bar was working perfectly. WTF.
