Denver is a fine choice of location. We should have sack races across Colfax with Shmoo as the judge.
Only now at this dark hour does it register with me that Labor Day is not a day a retailer can be away. Not at this stage anyway. Doesn't make me miss cubicle land any... but it does make my heart heavy with sorrow.

balls.


BALLS.



OK. I shall lament no further, but instead toast your success.
What if your store got burned down like a week before?

"Your honor, said in-house entertainment was an authentic Jimi Hendrix impersonator and his setting the guitar on fire would have been fine if Ace Frehley hadn't tried to one up him with the fireworks on his guitar. What, no, it was the real Ace. No, Gene and Paul get all the money. Huh? A baloney sandwich and a place to sleep in the alley behind the store."

It occurs to me that you are not the only guy working there. Certainly it is understandable that a business owner may be away "on business" (i.e. tax write off) and others can sell guitars, harmonicas and amps that weekend. You will be hanging with musicians etc, who may wish to purchase products that can be shipped right?Realize the airfare, hotel, reasonable meals and transportation expenses are legitimate dings against the bottom line.


I had a business teacher who said our current tax laws make being in business for yourself almost mandatory in this country.

And afterwords we can run amok! Or if you're too tired, we can walk amok.
