It's been a tough week. For a couple of days, it was looking like all of my financing was going to fall apart. Completely. As it stands, it's looking like it won't be falling apart, but it's being continually pushed back instead. Figure by the time I open my doors, I'll maybe get my money. It's only through an obnoxious amount of persistence in getting people who I'm depending on to get their acts together that I'm even feeling as good about this situation as I am. Today. Tomorrow, we'll see.
I've built me some walls. I now have framed out a bathroom and an office and I just have a couple of soffets (soffits? sofits? Is there a proper way to spell this word?) to put up, then some drywall, some tape, some spackle, and we're good to go. Okay, I should probably build a bar at some point, submit my plans to the health department, and get a fuckton of plumbing done while I'm at it. I got a couple of plumbing estimates this week and they were about 400 percent higher than I budgeted. Remind me, why am I going into the coffee business instead of the plumbing business? Hell, Mario had a collection of video games made in his image. Name one coffee person who has that honor. Eh? That's what I thought.
Maybe I'll put up some pictures this week. That should satisfy the interested hordes.

Couple of thoughts:
1) Why does Mario get all the glory. Were Mario and Luigi not equal partners. Also, was Mario's full name Mario Mario? Because if they are the Mario Brothers that would lead me to believe that is their last name.
2)I think it is mandatory that you grow a mustache. I mean what successful coffee icon did not have a mustache? You have Juan Valdez, the "time to make the donuts" guy and many more that i just can't think of now because I haven't had my coffee this morning.
