Welcome quick readers. Thanks for being here.
Max’s Saloon. . . I think it can be argued that Max’s Saloon launched the career of, perhaps, the greatest person in the Milky Way Galaxy.
I suppose that might be an over statement and a simplification, but it can certainly be said that there were moments in that bar that affected the history of the galaxy.
Max met Miles Sanderson there. Their friendship accomplished great things. Max learned some about her inner strength there and met Sierra her long term friend.
Max took the saloon over from David Green when he was killed by a stray bullet from a gunfight in the street in front of the place. At the time it was called “Mike’s”. Max changed the name to cut ties with the horrible incident that put her in charge of the saloon. Mike has been forgotten to history. It is not even known for sure if there was ever even a real “Mike”.
When Max left for Kusha with my friend Dorian Thain she left the place with Sierra. Sierra ran the place till very recently although she quit tending bar there many years ago. Sierra kept the name “Max’s” and it became something of a tourist destination. Individuals from all over the galaxy from all the different intelligent species can to see Max’s humble beginnings.
History is a funny thing. Historians certainly know and understand that Max came from planet Harappa, that she studied astrophysics at the University of Sandon but most people’s understanding of Max’s life only goes back to Max’s Saloon. The myth of Max Gavaskar begins at the saloon. Her dealings with the lowlifes and barflies there are the foundation that her myth is built upon.
When story tellers tell tall tales of Max’s early life they are invariably about Max’s Saloon and the patrons there.
Never mix red wine and Oodo.
