Memphis!!! Awesome weekend!! I love that!! All the bars did well except Lauderdale and Denver. Denver is so fickle. Its the only bar that does not really do significantly better on weekends then weekdays. We have been working on a deal involving London. As we get more involved with the possible licensees I realize they really have no idea the power of Coyote Ugly. Do you know how much merch we sell? There is no way London can have a...

This is a new one. My god people are nuts. Some guy came into one of the bars with a belt buckle that was a gun. Everyone thought it was just a weird new fangled belt buckle. Low and behold the gun belt buckle went off and the police had to be called. How fucking nuts is that? Proof alone why people should not be allowed to bring weapons into a bar. " A real loaded gun as your belt...

Yesterday was a long ass day! My flight out of new Orleans was at 7am. I had a connecting flight in Atlanta to Milwaukee at 1050. It took a total of about 4 1/2 hours to get to Milwaukee. I went straight from the airport to my lawyers office. We chatted for a bit. I met the landlords of the space I would like to open. Then the lawyer, Jeff, and myself went to the local Aldermen's office. We discussed...

Zombie's log No managers log tonight so here's the flood report. Looks like we made it. While the Cumberland River is still way, way over flood status at 51 feet, the water has dropped a foot and a half overnight and receeded back across the street, stopping shy at our very backdoor at it's highest point. Props to our entire security staff, whom all took time out of their night to show up and hang out for a few hours...

Just got a call from Kyle. It seems that 2nd Avenue in Nashville is starting to flood so he is making provisions to try and minimize the damage before the bar starts flooding. Sunday morning I laid in bed and I was inundated with worries. I was worried about the bomb in Times Square and how it would effect people there. I was worried about the oil spill in the gulf and I was worried about how it will effect...

Jackson just beat his whole school in a 1 mile race today. That kid is definitely athletic. He has been getting letters about competing for the Louisiana state wrestling team as well. Pretty cool! I knew last night he would win. With him its a mental decision. If in his mind he can win then he just wins. I was kind of surprised because long distance isn't something he has ever practiced. His dad called me up later and was...

A lot of stuff going on in Nashville. I sent a letter today for all the girls to read about representing Coyote Ugly in a proper way. The bars rocked lasted night. I never received Lauderdale's log hopefully they wont break the wayward rise the bars have been on. Austin has really come up in numbers!! Way to go. Memphis also Hot damn!!! Its always a great start to the day when I see such strong numbers, especially in the...

A few circumstances changed yesterday so I canceled my trip to London. I absolutely love London but the long flight is a killer. Kevin is still on his way but he can definitely handle this without me. We interviewed a few candidates for the Denver GM position. One applicant told me that he had gone to the NY bar in 93. He claimed he met me , then opened a copycat bar in upstate NY. Another candidate told us that...

I am freaking so pleased with Austin and OKC!!!!! Austin rang in like one of the big bars. I LOVE THAT!!!! You guys rock!!! OKC the last few weeks has been gathering steam. OKC:  Guys lets  make some money!!! The managers log from OKC was funny Tommy said " don't start a water war with me cause I will chill buckets of water for hours and then dump them on you while you were doing Last Resort" Freaking funny. But...

Interesting things going on. The Korea deal has reemerged. Lets see what happens. Madison 40% food. I don't know if I want that headache. Too much going on to talk about. Jackson's dad took Jackson to wrestling and left the french kids without my little translator. I went to a local french restaurant and picked up chicken crepes for the kids. Well as per usual that didn't go over well. The one troubled kid said in french, and yes I...
