Chalk Board Ideas

OK, so we asked our very good friend Mark, designer of one of our most beautiful bathrooms, for his ideas on the chalk board wall. His idea: put up a book in "chapters". Put up a section of the story every month or so. The giving tree? The Lorax (a good environmentalist's story)? How cool would that be? Would people read it? Maybe something less known, so that people would look forward to the next section.

In other news, we had our best day ever today. The restaurant was full for most of the day, and really busy for long stretches. The coolest part is watching how much more smoothly busy nights are going. We are getting better at what we do. Our employees know their positions, and are getting quicker. We communicated better as a team. Our systems are solidifying.

Still, it blows me away to look out at the restaurant in the middle of a busy dinner rush, and realize that we are running a restaurant, a real restaurant. . . not sure what else to say about that.

Photography Exibition Opening

This will be a brief post to announce the photo opening we will be holding at the restaurant February 4th at 7 pm. There will be a special on wine. The photos on the wall are amazing, and worth giving some time to.
The exhibit is by rev b pandemonium. The photos are of the Vancouver downtown eastside.
Hope to see many of you there.
