Hoodlums Music and Movies

… the new joint is shaping up.  When we first got here, it looked like this:

So we called our friend Tom the floor guy to come in and give the concrete a cool treatment.  Then we rolled up our sleeves, turned on the music, and we primed, painted, baseboarded, scraped, scoured, replaced and cleaned a bunch.

After that, it looked like this:

So we called our friend Neil the carpenter, and he came in and built us a stage so we can play host to all sorts of entertainers for our customers.

When he was done (he also patched some dry wall), it looked like this:

Kristian (that’s him in the picture cause the pic without him was blurry) got to work caulking and priming it while I took pictures, then went home and typed this blog about it.  That seems like a good division of duties for me, eh?  Hey, he’s younger than me and he doesn’t like to write emails, let alone blog.

But let’s not jump to conclusions folks: before and after I took this picture, I was busy going to government offices and getting licenses and that sort of fun stuff, so it wasn’t all blogs and roses for me either.

Between the two hoodlums, it all seems to get done.

We still have a long way to go, but it is coming along.  Stay tuned.
