Today I got offered a potential $3,000,000 investment for the bar/restaurant I wanna open.

+1

Yes! Good luck jimmy!

Dayyyum. Get the ball rollin man!

ftfy

I hope he's for serious! It'd be awesome to see it happen!

Thanks guys. All BFSSFG members will get hooked up, just don't expect me to go broke feeding you guys haha. I'm going to be meeting with him sometime this week. Thing is, do I find a location and then investors, or does it go the other way?

I use a Garmin Edge 500 with a heart rate monitor. Averaged 146BPM for 2 hours.

How would I go about that in an efficient manner. Remember, I can run a restaurant, I can run a bar, and I can run a venue. I've done all three. I've never opened something of my own. This is entirely new ground for me.

Today I got my Deda RHM02's. I think I like them more than FSA Wing Pro Compacts...!!

Don't worry dude! We're here if you need anything!

What did you like more about them? I have the wing pros and have always been curious about the dedas because they look so similar.

The curve at the elbow of the bar starts later so the flat section is wider. Nisssseeeee.

So more space for your hands in the hood position? Oooh that does sound nice. Cool, thanks.

Nonono... more space on the top section where the bars are flat... the "wing" section. The ramp part where the hoods go actually feels smaller to me.

You know how I was complaining that my chain was tanked and the masterlink was messed?

Well, today, my chain snapped while riding. Nothing bad happened, I just slowed to a stop and picked up the chain. getting the bus to the bike shop for a replacement after class.

To add insult: Mother nature gave me 50 degrees and sun this morning. This afternoon when I am done with class, it says pouring rain.

Oh, lol. Sorry. I usually have my hands in the hood position or the drops so maybe I'll stick with the wing pros. Thanks.

Haha, no worries. We'll see how I like them after I put some real miles on them.

You got offered $3m without a location in mind? I'm impressed.

yeah the dedas have a lot more room up top than the FSAs

I have three locations in mind. Just nothing secure. Not trying to sound arrogant, but if you had ever eaten my food, you'd be impressed enough to convince someone to invest in me too.

Now you just sound arrogant.




Just kidding, this sounds like a super cool deal. I'll have to make the short trip to Chicago and check it out when you're up and running. Maybe we could get a ride in together too!

I'm excited to hear about the process from the ground up. You need your own thread so we can track your progress without losing it in another thread

Today I got my St. Baldrick's Foundation page up and running. I'm raising money for the foundation with the promise that I will get my head shaved at their event on March 16.

Between St. Baldrick's fundraising, Tiny Fix event planning, helping jimmytango navigate this restaurant/bar thing... and of course riding and hanging with my friends and my full time job, I have no free time any more. I kind of like it this way. :)

I sympathize. Work, full-time school, running my own non-profit, and my responsibilities as a husband... I don't have much time to think these days.
