Grand Opening
While finishing up the construction of Clappers, Larry was reaching out to many of his friends to see
if they would consider working at the restaurant. Chad Rapkov was someone that Larry remained close since they worked
together at Weazel, he had Larry's back. Chad introduced him to Raven who was willing to help us out before
anyone else was interested. From there they got some momentum. About a week later Larry found a chef named
Guiseppe Alfredo, They held an interview with him at Clappers. The food he made for Purm and Larry was spectacular.
Guiseppe was passionate & very friendly which was just what they were looking for. As it got closer to opening
day they showed a few people from the Mirror Park Tuning mechanic shop the inside of Clappers. Everyone had
nice things to say about the place. Larry got pulled to the side by Mina Jo. Mina goes on to tell him
about how she is really good at hunting & taking pictures. She asked him if I ever wanted some fresh produce
to contact her or if I wanted some pictures taken of the restaurant. Mina was so polite that Larry was certain he wanted her help
getting fresh produce so he offered her a job at the restaurant as a source of produce as well as a waitress.
Everything had fallen right into place. But Larry could not get passed opening the restaurant without Jackie.
She was the person to convince him that this was possible & he should go for it. However when everything
was being finalized Jackie was busy doing other things. A few days before our opening Larry ran into Jackie at a
party in Mirror Park and she asked him if she was still working on opening night. Larry was surprised
because he convinced himself she had lost interest in working at Clappers. Regardless of what he thought, Jackie
was pulling through. Larry was impossibly more stoked to fulfill his dream because Jackie was a big part of it.
Having her support was big, for him personally.The day of opening night Larry did his best to invite all of his friends & welcome them to bring anybody they wanted
to bring with them. People started gathering at the front doors about thirty minutes before we opened. It was
a pretty decent size crowd that showed up early. But once it came time to start letting people in it was as if
that crowd tripled. There were so many familiar faces that he did not get to greet all his friends until after they
were seated inside. The Irish, Rising Suns & Salvation rolled through deep. Jonas Eriksen, Roman Groves,
Tyrone Cox, Andrea Fallon, Harry Forde and so many more homies were there. The night was better than we
could ever ask for. Our staff absolutely killed it. They were troopers the whole way. They handled serving close
to a hundred people in just a bit over two hours. Which is outstanding.
Thanks to everyone that came out to support us!

Bittersweet
After a little over a year we had come so far with the Sandbar. From all the time & effort put into building it from the ground up. The Sandbar was originally intended to be a chill spot for people on the beach to stop by, grab a bite to eat, and move on with their day. But eventually we found that people wanted so much more. We had to adapt to what worked & what the people of Los Santos wanted from us.
People wanted that space to celebrate holidays with their friends, they wanted to have a place to take that special someone. And we like to do that for others. We had some great private events and Valentine's Day celebrated at the Sandbar. A bunch of friendships & memories have been made and that's what we stand for.
However upon Valentine's Day we realized that we were not able to house a large wave of people because of the small size place. We only could hold a maximum of four tables which would fill immediately every opening. Leaving so many people waiting unrealistic times to wait for a table. As we continued to grow we realized that our growth would be indefinitely held back by the size of our space.
Something as simple as opening our doors to the public, having a blip placed, & running advertisements for an event. After four different parties show up we are immediately stopped in our tracks from providing anyone else service.
It took months for Larry to even truly consider another option other than try to make the Sandbar work with what they got. Eventually he got an offer that would give them enough for a bigger place. There were still a lot of things that had to come to fruition after getting the money to get the right place with the right amount of space. This was really taking a leap of faith but he knew this would allow them to reach their potential with more people.

To kick off the first ever public opening of the Sandbar we chose the one day of the year, where love is in the air, and boy did we feel it! Offering three different times to make reservations for that day. To insure couples from all around Los Santos could find their way to our restaurant to let us do the work so they can celebrate properly.
Seeing all the couples having fun together. Taking time out to have a sit-down dinner, dressed to impress their dates, trusting us to make their Valentine's Day more memorable. Was just another example of why the staff at the Sandbar are so passionate with their work.
After the last round of reservations Larry got a call from his friend Asbo, wanting to stop in the Sandbar with a group of friends. Which of course was another pleasant surprise to follow an already special occasion. A group of six of them came in together to celebrate their marriage. They decided to all sit at one table together, which was a fun way to end the night laughing over dinner.
Turns out that one of the people that came into the Sandbar with Asbo was Travis Rashguard, the host from Rash's Rapport podcast with Weazel News. Which Travis & guests of the podcast went on to talk about their experience at the Sandbar, ultimately giving us 5 stars!

Catering at the Burnout Nation Drag Race
Larry met Asbjorn Shmidt at the Bayview Promotional Dinner that was hosted at the Sandbar. They both shared common interests in cars & food. So they exchanged phone numbers and Asbo invited Larry to his distillery. Larry had been taken back by the craftsmanship Asbo put into his beer and to see his plan to expand it reminded Larry of how he started off with just an idea to make a restaurant. While they enjoyed the beer Asbo brewed himself, they shared ideas & knowledge with one another in a supportive way for one another.
Eventually Asbo brought up about a drag race he was planning out with his car club Burnout Nation. Which lead to Larry offering to have the Sandbar cater for the event. Both Burnout Nation & the Sandbar were just beginning on their paths so they both agreed to collaborate.
The day at the races was a hot one. Burnout Nation setup a professional drag racing setup. From countdown lights, to bleachers for spectators, to concrete barriers & cones to direct cars. Larry & Petti White pulled up with the Sandbar catering van filled with food to barbeque. They setup their food tents, fired up the grill, and handed out chicken wings & ribs to all the hungry spectators.
Amid all of the fun racing & barbequing, someone managed to steal the Sandbar catering van full of food. Which luckily, Paulo Witherfork was able to track down the van at a nearby chop shop and recover everything.
Big shoutout to Paulo for saving the day!
When all the tire smoke cleared & the dust settled after a long fun day of racing, Asbo introduced Larry to the Burnout crew- Hazel Adams, Don Mozzarella, & Maccy Kentworth. Not yet knowing how good of friends they would become over time. But very happy with what they had accomplished together that day.

Still fresh to the grind to put the Sandbar on the map to the people of Los Santos, Larry's ex-sister-in law Elizabeth Dyer, reached out to him to have a promotional dinner at the Sandbar, for all the employees at Bayview Auto Services. With how amazing hosting a Holiday dinner was for the Medical Department was. Larry was very eager to do the same for Bayview.
Larry was able to reach out to his friends Brianna Marakian, Faith Nightwood, & Ania Wawrzyniecc to wait on tables & run the bar. Petty White offered to take pictures of the event as it happened.
With staff all figured out Larry decided to prepare further by having menu of their food printed out on notes by Matt Tezla. While Matt worked on printing the menus all night the night before the event, Larry prepared a bunch of cupcakes with custom icing prints. Car wheels, wrenches & tools, tow trucks. The cupcakes were all done up to celebrate the hard work all of the mechanics do for Bayview.
Tyrone Cox & Elizabeth Dyer pulled up with all their co-workers and from start to finish the event was nothing but good vibes & laughs. Petty got a picture of Tyrone & Liz sitting at a table that captures a perfect moment for any restaurant which we used as our first, and only, LifeInvader background for the entirety of the Sandbar.
Everyone that came out that night just had so much to share and all the kind words, support, and generous gestures made. Tyrone tipped our staff well over six figures. That night was really something that stuck with all the people there and has tremendously help forge our foundation for the Sandbar.

After all of the hard work that went into building & filling our refrigerators, we were finally ready to open up.
All that was needed was people that would give us a shot. Purm, Carla, and Larry were all confident with each other,
but this was brand new. We did not have any regulars. Nobody knew what the Sandbar was going into this.
We were at ground zero. We needed a Holiday miracle to give us our first opportunity to show what we are made of.
An ambitious paramedic, Matt Tezla, decided to book us to host a Holiday dinner for the Medical Department.
Later that weekend fifteen MD employees joined us in our season's greetings. They were all dressed up in festive outfits, ready to take time out from their busy schedules to celebrate the Holidays with each other. It was our responsibility to make sure they enjoy their food & one night off. Carla did a great job serving drinks, while they waited for Larry to cook their food. They got the food out as soon as possible to each table and they were all so kind to compliment our service. After all the food was served Larry caught up with an old friend Miguel, and they spent the rest of the night talking & laughing.
With all the hard work and dedication that all the MD employees put in to make sure people are treated with the proper
care they need to live their best lives, their genericity goes unsaid. They put life into our restaurant with all of their support
and kind words. We could not have asked for any better guests for our first ever event at the Sandbar.

Support, you forgot to add Moonshine distilleries though. To have them work like the drug tables just with different recipes and ingredients would be dope.

Clappers opened in the summer of 2022. Under the same management of the original establishment,
The Sandbar, Clappers is its successor. Due to the popularity of the Sandbar management closed for a while
to acquire a bigger place to appease more of their customers. Along with the new space we took the opportunity
to narrowing down the menu to focus only on authentic Italian & Italian/American food.
We have relocated from our old location in Vespucci Beach to our new location, in the heart of Los Santos,
Vinewood Boulevard. One block east of the Bank of Los Santos. 15 Power St. Next time you pick up your paycheck be sure
to treat yourself to some authentic Italian food.Custom built & designed by Jonathan Purmineli & Larry Wrzosek to provide a grander experience to
all of our loyal customers. We have acquired a space big enough to increase our table count to fourteen.
Which can seat up to fifty-two people at a time.
We take pride in the craftsmanship put into our very unique arched ceilings.
Custom wood fire brick oven!
When it comes to our beef, chicken, and pork it all comes from the avid hunters of the north.
Frank Reyes Is very reliable & consistent with all of our orders.
Always supplying us with the highest quality of meat.
We get all of our naturally grown wheat, flour, eggs, and vegetables from the farmers up north at Paul’s Farm.
This order was harvested, packaged, and delivered right to the restaurant by farmers John & Seamus.
Most of our seafood dishes are put together specifically to take full advantage of what can be gathered
locally from fishermen. Ask about our daily catch for the most fresh seafood money can buy.
Here at Clappers we understand the simple fact that the key to making good food is fresh ingredients.We are so happy to have all of the people that help us share food with each other at Clappers!
All of our general supplies are provided by-
Jonas Eriksen with the Motorsnacks Mirror Park Store
Ania Wawrzyniec with the Happy Hunter Store

When I first started playing on ECRP, Jay Gamble & Thrax were the first two people I had met that took me in open arms. Thrax introduced me to Braddox drug lab, how to make drugs, where to sell them. Jay let me live in one of his houses. Two days of being in Zetas I recall getting busted for 3 cocaine worth of drug materials, and Zetas pulled up and rescued me. The first house I ever bought was found by Jay & Kelly. They not only let me buy a house that was worth much more then what it was listed for, but they loaned me money to buy it. Anyone else would have snatched the house and flipped it for double the amount. Instead they helped me. I remember about a week later when I paid off the money they let me borrow. Jay and I were at the ATM in the bank and I told him "You chose the right person to lend a hand to, I hope you acknowledge how grateful I am for this, you and Zetas i'm in this for the long haul." That was in the fall of 2018.
I've made so many friends over my 21 months in Zetas. So many great experiences with them. The progress we made. From being a small 15 member street gang that chills at LSC, to joining the Coalition, becoming an official faction, becoming allies with Clowns, taking over the council from the Irish, becoming allies with the Triads, vibing and meeting new people everyday at the store behind bank, opening up & cooking at the Tavern, taxing & extorting other gangs, moving to the Shipment Yard, becoming allies with Aztecas, and of course all 15 of the undisputed wars we came out on top of.
All the memories and friendships made are what I will always hold close. I wish nothing but the best to everyone that has ever been in Zetas, our allies, our friends, and our haters. But that being said, 21 months in, 3,100 hours deep, seriously. Z's up hoes down.-

A friend of mine told me you have a big cock. Too bad i'm currently taken by Mrs. Curry. She turned me straight with her arched feet and beautiful eyes. She has SUCH a big heart. She took in her crackhead friends son and takes care of him. Maybe you will understand my situation since you have a bad relationship with your parents. I'm sorry to hear about that but i'm hopeful you will understand. High key I think she may be the one. Anyways good luck out there tiger.
