The bars are all starting to post some great numbers. I am so excited to be heading to New Orleans this weekend. 16 year anniversary. A group of us are doing the Guiness Challenge on Sunday. 5 miles . Drink a 1/2 pint each mile. Last year taught me that by mile 3, you feel a little off. RIP Stephen Hawking. What an incredible mind.  He contributed so much to science.  Some people would of thought of his body as a jail sentence yet he was able to bring so much to this world with is mind. Again RIP.

This article just came out! https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/12/style/coyote-ugly-saloon-25-anniversary.html

Winner: Coyote Ugly Saloon Internation women’s day franchise ! Outstanding. Something so important to me.  I forget sometimes what an impact Coyote has had on many young women’s lives. this was such a heart felt award. Thank YOU!!

I went to Denver. Renovating the bar. I am going to Nola. That will be to much fun. Guiness 5 k challenge followed by the anniversary party . 16 years!!! Then in a couple of week I head to Reykavjik and Manchester. Busy busy busy.

Today my son’s school got a gun threat. We received a letter talking about various safety drills etc. Super scary. And No I do not want to arm the teachers. That’s absolutely ridiculous. I try not to speak politics. But this is crazy.

I went to Denver this week. Had a blast with the staff. We are renovating the bar. bartop is in serious need of rebuild and the booths are falling apart. I think we have a good template of what we need to get done.

I saw this article this morning. Very inspiring “Photographer snaps cancer-stricken kids as superheroes“

This is a great lesson: Don’t eat blow fish or raw horse meat while traveling. I have had this unusual eye sensitivity called Iritis. I have been to eye doctors. They sent me to rheumatologist . Now back to my regular doctor.  He made me take a comprehensive parasite test. It appears I don’t have 1 parasite but multiple. You have really hit rock bottom when you are having to save your own feces for 3 days then you walk that feces to Fedex. Tip your fedex guys!

Heading to NYC on Friday. Big 25 year anniversary

5 days with 2 trips of 19 hours each to Fukouka Japan. Great city. Smaller then Tokyo. Cleaner as well. Flooded with tourists from Thailand, Korea, and China. The girl search had beautiful women. There is a ethnic mix. These girl were curvy with beautiful skin and hair. Really really pretty.

A lot going on right now. I am trying to catch up and feel some calm.  

I love this article I saw today. “Vikings fans flood Saints punter’s foundation with donations” 
Nice after being so devastated at the Saints loss. I was in my hotel room in Japan with my computer streaming the game. I couldn’t help screaming most of the second half. Mostly for joy until the end.

I have been awful about blogging last year. So much going on but social media has taken over the marketing of most brands. I will try to be more conscientious about the Lil Spill. New Years Eve was down for all the bars. Snow has engulfed most of the states. But I live in San Diego and its in the 70s today. Heading to Fukouka Japan next week to hire staff. It’s going to be a busy year.

Heading back to Liverpool ! One crucial stop in Amsterdam . I am meeting Lizzie and Steve to do a quick 24 hour tourist trip . Tommy ( US regional ) and Ray ( GM Liverpool ) have been signed up with the staff to do the Santa Bash 5 K in the morning ! I love that . Sad I am missing it . ( tommy hates me now but one day will thank me .

US bars did horribly last night . Ugh .

I bought a pair of rubber pants on line for the Liverpool opening . Jackson saw this and said “ you are not wearing these “. Yes I am . “ Mom there is only one reason for clothes like this and it involves S and M. Get another outfit .”

Liverpool staff hired! Great city . Fun staff . Dancers , singers , trouble makers . A city of close talkers . First day it was unnerving . “ back up , you are in my personal space .”  I said to one girl “ personal space please “! . My god . Yesterday this spanish girl was so close to me while speaking , in my mind I thought , my god she’s going to kiss me .

I can imagine there are plenty of awkward moments when some guy thinks he has the right to lean in and kiss you because your body language confused him ( or her).

Cold cold . San Diego here I come !

Quite a weekend in Liverpool . Fun group of girls . Dancers , singers , troublemakers . One girl showed up for finals completely hammered . “ dude I can smell your whisky breathe from a mile away .”  

A city filled with “ close talkers “. First day it was almost unnerving .  Do you really have to be two inches from my face to speak to me ? I actually had to tell one girl “ back up you are in my personal space . At the finals a spanish girl was inches away speaking to me . In my mind I was thinking  “ my god , she’s going to try and make out with me “.

Liverpool is a great city . . Much more cosmopolitan then I was expecting .

God Save the Queen ! On flight now to Liverpool . This week has been a borage of negative . There has been Peeing, yelling, general bull that has been the daily dialogue .

I want to give a thanks to everyone in Coyote Land . I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished . Missing my son on Thanksgiving but he hopefully knows how much Mom loves him !

Happy Thanksgiving

I have been awful with the Lil Spill . I know ! The college hunt has taken over my life and my ex husband’s life . My poor kid . I have done all the research . I know the rankings of schools . The percentage of kids from a particular school that get into high end grad schools . I then research travel time from San Diego . With this and of course his grades . I have our list together . He has his favorites. We applied to those . His dad has pushed and pushed for rewrites on the kid’s essay . It’s all consuming . First 6 applications in ! Let the games begin .

Heading to Nashville . Big 13 year anniversary
