A friend of mine manages another company. ( not a bar). We are always going back and forth with issues that occur with the workers. He just called me this morning livid at his assistant. This particular guy is a Jesus fanatic and wears bracelets with Jesus motos etc . The call he just gave me was freaking hysterical. He was irate because this guy did very poorly at organizing his workday. After he explained to me the situation he...

I am nuts today. I received the OKC manager's log and was a bit pissed about something that transpired. Thank god it was explained!!Denver rocking last night.Planning a trip to Russia and Germany. One of the russian licensees is very gung ho about opening. In one way that is a positive but she is not understanding some basics about our business. She wants to start the girl search right away but Lee and I keep on telling her that if...

The bars kicked ass this weekend! San Antonio and nashville had killer Saturday night numbers . Denver has been rocking. OKC as well.Nice way to start the week when the bars are doing so well. Today Jackson started school! I am so happy!In the next month we are launching a Nation wide promotion that I am very proud of. I can't wait to get all of our posters and press kits made.

My GM from OKC told me that the girls had taken in 3 counterfeit bills. Phil made it a mission to review the tapes and figure out who was pawning off these bills. He even called in the police and offered video as proof toward apprehending the perp. My morale compass obviously is way off because when I found counterfeit money at the NY bar, I would take the ten dollar bill or twenty dollar bill that was counterfeit ,...

I am feeling so emotional today after Jackson's haircut. It is so short. I swear in the 10 minutes it took to cut his hair he aged 2 years. He no longer looks like a baby but a big boy. I know the beauty of today was that he gave his hair to a great charity and he absolutely loves his haircut. In fact he had me go to the store and buy him hair gel to spike it up...

The day has finally come! Tomorrow my son is donating his hair to a Charity called " Children with Hairloss" After doing some research I found out that some of these charities receive hair donations but do not donate the wigs to the people who need them. It was important to my son that kids with financial problems were able to get the wigs without cost. The two charities we decided on were " Children with Hairloss" and " Wigs...

Sometimes you just have to laugh at yourself. I have to sign some very important documents. It took me about 15 minutes to set up my fax machine. Now Rob our trademark lawyer called me and he also can't figure out how to send the fax from his end. I have no idea what's wrong!

Only a week ago I felt like we were on a roll. Things were really falling into place. Now this week I feel like things have slowed down. Jackson goes back to school next week so I am going to start going around to the bars. I need to feel busy . I got a call last week about one of the New Orleans girls quiting after 3 years of working for us. Chantel was upset over it but in...

Slow day today. I went onto my lilspill emails and there were 35 pages for the last few days. 75% of that was junk mail. But I went far enough back to get a " God is giving you a wake up call to raise your son to honor Jesus." This email came after I wrote about my rafting trip with jackson and our near scarey experience. This woman went on in the email to tell me that it is...

You know you are in the country when your apartment is inundated with crickets instead of roaches. I went to help Trey set up his new apartment and there were crickets all over the place. I grew up in an apartment until I was 12. Then promptly I moved back into an apartment at 17. I am used to roaches. Crickets do seem cleaner but they hop. Trying to help figure out the liquor trends in Russia. I will probably...

Hot damn the bars are doing great!!! The only issue seems to be the AC in Denver and OKC. These are water cooling systems which present certain problems. I think the OKC landlord is chinzing on the AC for the whole area. " It's fucking 105 degrees freaking up the tonnage to the unit and stop shutting it off at night!" I have a feeling he is shutting the whole system down and its impossible to cool the place without...
