well, the ball is rolling ... met with the owner yesterday. the place is great, it's got tons of history (in a good way), it's decent sized, the neighborhood is not too ghetto ...

a few minor things to work out but it looks like it's going to happen!


thanks for all the advice guys, it came in really handy.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

When's the FREE BEER?????

er... I mean GRAND OPENING (with free beer??? )

What's the latest?

Cool! Glad to hear it Andy! Time to book Reverand Horton Heat, the Derailers, maybe a little Mike Ness (if he plays nice and gets some new jokes) and so forth. Good Luck! Let me know the addy and I will send some of my Sacramento buddies down to have a few and support your biz. Their only requirement is good music, lots of alk and some eye candy. They aint aferd of the Oakland.

working away with the lawyers and certain government agencies ...

they all take their time, nobody moves fast over here.

on the upside, it looks like the previous owner got out clean without any outstanding violations or debts to any of the suppliers ...

the place needs a good cleaning thought, i'm too german for the californian interpretation of "savoir-vivre" ...
