How Powerful is Social Media in Hamilton-Wenham?

A local man wants a martini waiting for him at 15 Walnut tonight and he needs your help.

Wondering how powerful social media is? Will Burns, chief executive officer of Ideasicle is testing the power locally today.

Burns, of South Hamilton put out a challenge this morning around 11 a.m. on his Facebook page.

The challenge says: "A CHALLENGE. I've got $20 with "" written all over it (local Bistro/Bar). I want to see if social media can reach the bartender at 15 Walnut between now and 5:00 this evening. Here's the challenge, Mr. or Mrs. Bartender: I will be at your bar at exactly 5:00 today. I will bring this exact $20 bill. I'd like the following drink prepared, already on the bar, and ready for me at exactly 5:00: Plymouth martini, up, olive, dry as a bone, shaken like your life depends on it. I'll be wearing the "Nothing is unthinkable" t shirt in my profile pic. Good luck. Oh, and you can keep the change."
