Some extra coins
I really could use some more money. So can we all, of course. Our current balance and everything is fine..but with the mortgage payments starting in a few months, things will be pretty tight. What can I do to bring in an extra grand a month or more?
I have this freakin' amazing idea in regards to a bar..but I know nothing about running a bar/restaurant..etc. I've told the idea to a few people, and everyone seems to think its original, fun, cool..etc..as Bania from Seinfeld says: It's gold Jerry, gold! So..I need a couple investors..and I'll be a semi-silent partner..run some of the things..kinda like "the party planner", and 1/3 or whatever owner. I have no idea how lucrative bars are however. I am sure some are wildly successful, and some scraping by. I know Portland has more bars (and strip joints) per capita than any major city in the USA...which means 2 things to me: 1-the people of Portland love beer and 2-plenty of competition. Portland also isnt really a major sports town (being that it has the crappy Blazers and not much else except 2 decent college programs for football and basketball)..so I am not sure having the NBA playoffs or World Series or March Madness would drive more people in..but who knows. It isnt a sports themed bar.
Always gotta think of ways to bring in the extra money short of robbing a bank or selling crack. And everyone tells me to sell my art..but I create my art for myself..not to sell in an art show. I hope others get enjoyment from it. I will give a piece away to a family member for a holiday..but otherwise..I just dont want to sell it at this point in time.
And then I want to trascribe a certain book into a short-series and sell it off to HBO..and I have a partner for that, since she has written some screenplays before and works in the AV business..etc But she is busy with her life and hasnt even read the book yet..let alone discuss anything with the actual author or HBO..etc
So..I am open to ideas..to partnerships..to something. Cuz I need the duckets!

Dude, keep dreaming w/your HBO idea. If you're even remotely lucky to get a pinch from a literary agent, and that agent is lucky enough to sell your ms. to ANYONE (forget HBO), you won't see the moolah for at least...AT LEAST 5 or 6 months, if not a year.
But this shite is only valid provided you've written a stellar ms. And how many people can do that?
Ahem, well yes...she just got back from nyc..life you know gets complicated..but she promises she will read the book. she will.
do u realize that ppl cd steal yr ideas when u lay it out like that? well, unless you already hide the real ones.. :)
so, this is me stopping by, thx for stopping by in my blog ;)
