the weekend
today is monday, one of my days off… i went to work 3 times. i met the plumber there to fix some drainage to the sink in the cash station to the tune of nearly $500. i went to lowe’s and wal-mart and bought things for the restaurant, like staplegun staples and fans for the van, vinyl patch for a ripped booth, and lightbulbs… and then checked back in on the plumbers and got the ipod to update… later in the day i went back to build a new shelf in the kitchen and meet a guy to show me how to change the oil in the dough mixer. tonight i built a lawn chair in the living room while the kids watched curious george and i listened to the music… jack johnson did the sountrack and i love it.
so this weekend we got a sink fixed and a new shelf and the oil changed on the hobart and i even re-glued a threshold down and tried to patch one of the booths but i think i’ll have to end up re-upholstering the whole seat. they were all done a couple years ago but the guy did a crappy job because 4 or 5 of them are tearing. i went to ask the guy about it and he blew me off like that was normal. oh yeah, it’s normal to spend over $2000 to reupholster my booths every 2 years. ha. i should divulge the name of the business but i won’t. i’ll just not be reccommending that fella for any upholstry business.
the photo is from our grand opening of LSE, december 9, 2006. that’s Burney D and Banjo Jack, a.k.a. Swing Central Entertainment Group, formerly known as The Bow’ry Boys… they are pretty unique…
the Silos are coming with Jon Dee Graham in a couple weeks. i’m a little worried that we won’t get a good crowd. i know it’ll still be a blast but it sure would be nice to turn out 100 people for a good show like that…i should probably do a better job of promoting it but i am so busy… and how much energy can i give it?
i’m glad Mark is back this week… enough of all that honeymoon business, time to get back to work… oh, and shon got married last week and didn’t even take a day off work or ask for presents or nothin’. that is so like shon. he has a routine goin’ on, he’s not going to break up his routine to get married… i love these guys. i got such a great bunch of people i get to work with. sure wish peet would get back in town too. these people think they can just leave town on a dime and get people to fill in for them… maybe i need to leave town for a few days and get people to fill in for me….
good night party people
