Holy crap I am tired. The bars are doing awesome. Things are definitely piking up!! Today Korea , St Petersburg, London , and Cancun. I was supposed to head to London next week but I am worried about the air traveling problems in Europe. Ok so the french kids barely eat. I found literally 50 snickers wrappers under their bed. They wont take a shower inside. I have a shower head outside so I brought shampoo and soap outside and...

Please lord, allah, mohamud, or whomever may rule the planet , can you make sure the French kids are able to fly home on Friday? That would be much appreciated

As perusual the Memphis staff gave the best performance for their anniversary party. Lee kept texting me about how great it was and how much fun he had. They work so hard I am so proud of them. I am worn out from these exchange students. They are nice kids but it is so draining when you can't understand them.

Why on God's green earth do I volunteer for school things. So we are hosting two french exchange students. They speak absolutly no english. Thank god jackson speaks french. The first night was painful. One kid was on the verge of tears the whole night and the other kid lost his key to his luggage. I made a huge dinner and they wouldn't eat a thing. Really not one thing. Jackson's teachers had said prior to their arrival " they...

Congrats to Denver staff and  Kevin!! I owe you guys a hundred dollars. Good job!! I want to give respect to the New Orleans staff as well. The New Orleans bar came within $300 of The Denver bar. That is outstanding when you think of the size difference in the bars. Denver is 5000 sq ft and New Orleans is 2000 sq Ft. I am proud of both bars!!

Big bet today. I was the GM of New Orleans during the day and Kevin was the GM of Denver during the day. We have a $100 bet on which bar does better. Well I brought my A game today so I doubt he will win.

" What happened after the former OKC AM got sober and out of jail?" Yes this was one of my queries today. And just out of curiosity.  I woke up grumpy today so I decided to motivate myself with laughter. The first thing that came to my mind was the statement I made last week which was from the movie Friday " How do you get fired on your day off." Just knowing it happens and that it happened to...

I am real tired this week. It's been a strange work week. A bunch of different things going on. We had been pursuing an English licensee. I met them. They are very well connected in London. They also have a great deal of bar/ restaurant experience.  I sent Lee to London to check on their proposed space. He loved the area but wanted them to make some changes to the actual layout of the bar. We received a letter from...

Super slow weekend for the bars!! Easter is a killer for us. Please send resumes in for the Denver GM position at lil@coyoteuglysaloon.com  I am looking for someone with managing experience who is a hard worker and can think outside the box!! This weekend I have had a bad sinus infection. I woke up one morning with broken blood vessels in one eye from blowing my nose so much ( lovely). Jackson looked at me and said " mom your so...

Just got back from Colorado. The anniversary was fun. The girls were beautiful as always. Its funny but only 3 girls got approved for the 2 new dances but those 3 girls did both dances better then all the bars. The dances truly looked awesome. A lot of issues at the bar. Needless to say that we are now looking for a new GM. Kevin is going to man the bar for a few weeks. Hopefully he can find a...

Thank you Nashville for the great weekend numbers!!! Austin did well too. I always save San Antonio's ,anager's log for last thinking it will make me very happy to read. Not this weekend. Saturday night was god awful. I was shocked I was looking to see if there was a mistake. Freaking Zombie of Nashville, heavy metal guy,  wrote in the manager's log that he wished the girls would stop playing lady gaga's hip hop songs. I wrote him back...

Jackson is officially the Louisiana State Champion for the 65 lb 10 year old weight class!!!! At the finals it was so great to hear so many people cheering for him. He really crushed everyone. His second match was the closest in points and Jackson beat the kid by 10 points. I have video of the one of the kids  crying while he was wrestling Jackson.  Jackson's Nemesis, we call him " the joker" had to move up in weight...
