Big opening day in Key West. The bouncers and barbacks were helping get the bar together last night. One bouncer, while folding tshirts, said " I didn't know that working here could be my transition job to The Gap" pretty funny. I am grateful to my whole staff both Key West and corporate. Everyone is working hard. Thanks and congrats!

Key West has a very funny staff! Bartenders and bouncers. I love it! This is the first bar that we have done 5 brand new dances during training, pre opening . Today the girls hit their breaking point. Girls were crying left and right. I spoke to a few of them assuring them that we knew they were tired and don't worry. I went up to Ainsley, who had cried earlier , to ask if she was alright. " Are...

A week or two ago I was on a flight from Atlanta to Key West. A woman boarded the plane completely drunk and , in my opinion, doped up. She was out of control. Getting out of her seat trying to hit on guys in different rows. Laughing one minute hysterical crying another. Probably early forties but has been " rode hard and hung up wet" as the expression goes. Holy Shit she is on my flight right now from...

Daniel then uploaded a sonogram picture of...

Last night one of our New Orleans security staff passed away. He was a kind soul and loving person. I spoke with his mom last night and her grief was so pure and haunting. A good man passed.

Chantel still doesn't have power. She is at her Mom's house with her newborn and three year old, her inlaws, grandparents, and her dog. I can only imagine that she is feeling ready to columbine everyone down. Lol prayer to the universe for her power and her sanity

"Let there be light" At 1030 pm last night I got power! It took between 3 and 4 hours to cool the house but I spent the time doing laundry and feeling at peace. Thanks to the universe. Heading to key west tomorrow !
