\"\"<\/a>A few weeks ago I posted an article<\/a> about my logo project for Sassafras<\/a>, a saloon set to open in Hollywood\u2014another brainchild of Bobby Green of\u00a01933 Group<\/a>. The timing for these kinds of openings is always a bit cattywampus, and we didn\u2019t know exactly when the Grand Opening was gonna be. I can now tell y\u2019all with certainty that it will be on Friday, September 14th.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been to this honkey-tonk, and I can honestly say that it\u2019s everything you\u2019d expect from a Southern plantation which has been moved brick by brick and transplanted to Vine Street in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

You can start slowly, out on the \u201cfront porch\u201d, a great place to relax with a Toasted Pecan Julep…<\/p>\n

\u2026then I reckon you\u2019ll want to sidle on over to the \u201cliving room\u201d with your Southern Belle (or Beau Hunk) to enjoy some of Sassafras\u2019 signature \u201cBarrel Aged\u201d cocktails \u2014perhaps a \u201cBetween the Sheets\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026and then finally end up at the bar and take in the strains of a live band performing from the balcony…<\/p>\n

Voila…the mirror on the balcony (logo designed by yours truly, and painted in gold-leaf by sign artist\/fine artist Daniel Winter<\/a> [Instagram – winter_stone]), through the reflection of which can be seen the saloon\u2019s decaying opulence. From here you will be serenaded \u201cNew Orleans\u201d style. Well, hush my mouth and slap your pappy!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now take a gander at what you can look forward to. (Menu Art Direction courtesy of Mr. James \u201cBuster\u201d Heimann<\/a>, and the design talents of Ms. Cindy Vance of Think Modern Design<\/a>.) Make mine an Apple Moonshine Crusta!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Looks good? Hope to see you there, y\u2019all!<\/p>\n
