It has gone from "who is this woman on crack" to "we're interested, can you give me a tour of LB" to "looking for locations" to "signing a lease for a store on 2nd Street in Belmont Shore". The lease was signed yesterday, the keys are ours tomorrow, the built-out starts immediately and our opening date is October 1. I'm so excited I could scream but I'm also scared shytless. Change is good but man is it scary! But, this combines all of my loves into one great package. So, it's back to work full time for me (and Thurston gets to come to work too!). Check out the web site.

We'll be having a big opening party and I hope all of you locals can come.

This is awesome news!!!
Congrats and good luck!

I got an email from Florida...

It's not in Orlando, but about an hour-ish away, a park is looking for a sales manager with 3+ years experience in the amusement industry, preferably from a large/international market.

Very cute concept, congrats! Barnum, I'm sure, will be delighted to belly up to the bar at your opening.
