So apparently there was a fire at Penners last night- I don't know much, I just caught a quick blurb on the news about it this morning- nobody was hurt, but the restaurant was destroyed. Does anybody have contact info for Jim? It might be nice if we all took him out for a beer after everything settles down.

I was told about it as soon as I logged into AIM.
What a sucky way to start the day...

I've been off line for a few weeks & am just catching up on lj. In case you haven't heard by now, Jim was not the owner, he was the manager & has not had anything to do with Penners since before Faire ended. Just an FYI.

Reguardless of the politics of who owned what, Jim was one of us and during my time at faire, has been the "dad" (for lack of a better word). It was Jim that would have the kitchen make me special things that weren't on the menu, it was Jim who had the whole bar sing Happy Birthday to me at midnight, and it was Jim who bought all my friends a drink on my birthday. He may not have been the owner, and he may not have been involved with the business, but I know if a place I put a part of myself into the way that Jim did (at least when I saw him) was destroyed, I'd feel the loss as well.

I don't disagree with you at all. I had tons of fun with Jim as well. My comment was just an FYI, that's all.
