I know there are a lot of people who would have paid a premium to get
together for an Eclipse Party at the Pub, rain or shine, inside or out.
Reservations would have been necessary, which pretty much locks in a
pre-paid price, menu and the servers automatically get 20%. It's not as
if the eclipse snuck up on anyone. But, it apparently didn't occur to
anyone in the marketing department they could have held an eclipse
party. Oh well.
