LyricNotes, Vol. 11

It is snowing like a banshee, and everyone has taken the day off…

Which means I haven't gotten anything done today. But yesterday...oh yesterday....yesterday, yesterday, yesterday...what a day yesterday was. We found ourselves free seats. Yes, that's right, FREEEEEEEE seats! Which saves us at least 6 grand. Then, you know what else we found??? HMMMMM????? That's right, you guessed it, FREE lights, FREE Acoustic board, FREE cherry trim, FREE granite (which we haven't figured out what to do with yet, but we will) and possible FREE bathroom fixtures. "Where did we find this?" you ask, well we have many sources. Our espionage team has been working day and night to find such materials to steal from the Chinese government, but, at long last, all we needed to find was a good salvage person like my wife. At any rate, this cuts our budget a great deal and at the same time will make the whole place seem higher class, hahahahahahahaha, woooohhh!!! That will be a good trick.

Send me lawyers, guns and money!!!!

No one ever said this would be fun, and a truer statement was never not spoken. We're getting into the thick of it now with permits, licenses and contracts. Lots of hands to shake, names to sign and catch-22s to grind our teeth over. But when it comes down to it, nothing is so serious that it will stop the process, and that, in and of it's self, is a relief. Had Josh and I been born with a weaker resolve we would have given up a long time ago, but we passed the point of no return about two months ago, so whatever choice we have has long since dissolved.

As you can see by our recently added "New Stuff" category (soon to be renamed) we are now selling T-Shirts, which, if you really want to help and support us, you will buy, because not only are they totally dudemous in a radical sort of way, they are also our only source of income. So, in order to have electricity to run the saws that will build the theater, we need to sell these totally dudemous shirts, which can be purchased by calling us at (970) 493-0893 or emailing us at mail@lyriccinemacafe.comThis email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it . And if you are wondering why Josh is modeling a girls tee, it's because he looked so good in it we had to put it on the site.

LyricNotes, Vol. 9

Boy, it's been a while since I last updated this thing, we have been swamped these last few weeks, plus no internet does put a damper on things as well.

We have our office all set up with phone and DSL and fax, so I'm hoping the all will just fall neatly into place right now with little to no effort. We have had to do a few re-designs to get the budget down, make better use of the space and conform to the laws of physics and thermodynamics...don't ask it's a long story. But, depending on the speed with which our contractor can work, we will be able to submit for the building permit early next week and perhaps start demoing the few things that need to be demoed (I'm not sure "demo" is a word you can use suffixes on, but what the hell). And the lesson I learned this week is, no one likes to make it easy for small businesses. It's not that any given entity wants to stop small business development, they just like to see how long and frustrating they can make the process while not being discouraging enough to stop it. More blanket statements and rash generalities to come as we get deeper into the process.

As things set right now, I'm still trying to learn this whole "internets" thing, so that I can spruce up the site a little more, but as is, my sheer stupidity has proved a greater obstacle than previously anticipated. Josh, in the mean time, is growing his hair out for the first time in...um...more years than I know how to count in roman numerals, as well as a big bushy Magnum P.I. mustache. I would grow a mustache, but Elizabeth (my wife) would divorce me, and the business would collapse...so I'm going to grow mutton chops and limit my eating utensils to a ladle and tongs...yet another long story that's not interesting enough to elaborate on.

Well, my fine and loyal readers, now that I have the super speedy internets and an office that I regularly drop in on, I will cut my mindless ramblings off at this point and keep this site updated on a regular basis. If I can figure it out, we will also be selling T-shirts and stickers on this site, so look for that as well.
