wow. here’s the second van that’s come back and this one came back as the original… meaning, instead of just shooting us a photo they gave us the van to keep. i’ll have to start a collection. this one will be hard to beat. just look at it. i have some close-up shots i will share soon. they are on a different camera at work. this version is brought to us by the “Blachly boys.”

free large pizza for these guys for sure. i’m not saying we can keep giving out free pizzas for every van we get back, but this was such an amazing job. thanks!

i’m not sure if i ever even explained – but we have a new pizza box design where you can cut out a van on the top and make your own replica of our 1965 ford falcon van in front of the restaurant. eventually i’ll start a page on the website where we show pictures of all the vans people decorate up. soon also we’ll have an official contest page where people can submit photos or videos and win prizes.

pinstripin’ mikey sent me these pics of the van he made from our new pizza box. notice the nice fade on the satchel’s font… the low rider effect (custom)… and of course, the beautiful pin stripes. cheers to pinstripin’ mikey for being the first person to send in a picture. i’ll give him a free pizza next time he’s in town.

here’s a cool photo taken out back.

and then there is the cake that was at Pheobe’s birthday party last weekend. yes, those are peanut butter cups for a shell and twinkies for legs… this could be the best photo i’ve seen in years… oh how i wish i was there to experience it, but i missed this party much to my dismay… except it is probably better since they had leonardo’s pizza….. my kids were grossed out, asked for sandwiches

snapped this about a month ago but turns out danny also got a picure and beat me to the punch by posting on the lightnin’ salvage facebook… here’s my version but i still want to know, is the five star guy eating at satchel’s or delivering to satchel’s?

and you had given up hope for a good blog post from me… i know i have been slack but i’ve got stuff to do you know…

our day kitchen manager had a baby – well, his wife did all the work and mark just gets up to change the diaper once a week.

now, that is cute, little Enid Echo…

teresa brought her baby kittens in and also pictured is judy holding a couple of those spoiled things:

that is cute too.

chelsea lynn la bate is playing lightnin’ salvage tomorrow night (saturday.)
chelsea used to live in gainesville and now she’s in asheville but she’s touring. i imagine it will be a good show. check out her music HERE.

boy was it busy tonight folks. it was cold but the outside was full, what about that?
there was an hour wait at one point. but we were as fast as ever and the food all looked scrumptious.

thanks.
tonight i am very thankful.
