Don’t make those New Year’s plans yet November 28, 2006

Those who were hoping to go to Rory Schepisi’s new Boot Hill Saloon & Grill in Vega, Texas, for a special New Year’s Eve opening are advised to keep other options open.

Schepisi tells me that because of a three-week delay with electrical work, a special New Year’s Eve opening looks “slimmer and slimmer.”

“But … I think we’re back on track,” she e-mailed me. “Well, at least I hope we are.  At this point it will be closer to February [for an opening] unless Santa’s little elves come out and help. I’ll keep you informed.”

Schepisi, as you may recall, was the runner-up in CMT’s “Popularity Contest” reality show. Smitten by Vega, she sold her New Jersey restaurant and moved to the Route 66 town in the Texas Panhandle.

In the meantime, Schepisi sent me a photo of what the under-construction Boot Hill looks like:

You can already see the big porches and the Old West architectural style. I already like what I see.
