So proud of the opening in Tokyo last night . my god I am tired .  Back and forth from Tokyo to Wales . While I am excited for these bars I wished they had been spaced a little further apart ! Sitting at Narita airport . Going home for 3 days .  I miss the kid so much . Jackson  at 17 probably doesn't miss me quite as much . Not to jinx it but last night's opening went...

We have our first Coyote Ugly Tokyo staff!! Saturday I was worried. Not many people came in and let's say they weren't the best calibre of girls. But Sunday we had a ton of applicants and some great girls. Street Dancers, theatre singers, one girl was a cook in a pancake house and could make thousands of pancakes. Very pleased with the staff. Last night Marie and Maya took Lizzie and I to a restaurant that only served blowfish. Literally blowfish...

The pressure is on . 3 bars 40 days in 3 continents . Added to that I have never been away from Jackson for 3 weeks . So I have been feeling quite a bit of anxiety . Today I would like to thank Justin . He wrote me such a nice letter and it brought me back into the positive instead of dwelling on the anxiety work has created .  Thank You Justin Hey boss- As things ramp up...

Fun fun party. What I thought was a joke has become my true nightmare . Lee has sent a bigger then life ( probably about 1.5 life size ) picture of me to post on all the front areas of every bar . It's not even a great picture . Oh lord.  ( This was just an extra picture . Not the huge one )

Election Day!! I always feel such a great sense of pride when I vote. A true honor. My mother was born in Colombia and had to earn her citizenship. I remember how incredibly proud she was to become a citizen. We were allowed to take the day off of school to watch her get sworn in. She was jubilant that day.  It was only in the last ten years that she was asked to choose a country and discard the other's...

MY OCD is in full swing. I am starting to book my hotel stays for both Tokyo and Cardiff. I will be away for a long time going back and forth from one city to the other helping to organize girl searches, training, and opening .  My only request is that I have to stay at a hotel with a gym. There are so few choices that are in walking distance to the Tokyo bar in Rappongi. MY stress level...

Jackson coaches special Olympics. This Saturday his team won the gold for soccer. You don't get a better organization then this. Wonderful athletes, parents, volunteers. I am a proud mom!
