A step I left out calling the bar, rather than email. I started the process
by calling them, but kept getting an answering machine in Swiss German. So I
had no idea what their hours are, or if they are even still open. I thought
I could better explain what I was trying to do by speaking to someone there
directly.

I reached out to my peeps on Twitter for some help: http://snurl.com/2r0fh

Eventually I heard back from *@danielerossi<http://twitter.com/danielerossi>
* who was able to translate it as “the persons not here please leave a
message”. So that's when I decided to email them instead.

I'm glad it all worked out though.
