i got your text. i’m not going to be able to go to Bryan’s going away party. sounds like fun though. i have a meeting with some client at 3pm all the way in oxnard. we’re trying to corner this market of cotillions. this includes, not only the ballroom dancing aspect, but the pre-production of the entire event. the booking of the hotel, the securing the auido/visual shit, contracting videographers and photographers, finding the DJs, preparing the flower arrangements, the table covers, the seat covers, the candles, the cake, the food, and all the other subtle nuances that make these debutantes feel like they’re princesses. and their parents are willing to shill out a good amount of money to do it. we’re not talking hundreds of dollars. we’re not even talking thousands. we’re talking tens of thousands of dollars just for one night of opulence. understand, we’re not targetting los angeles anymore. not even the valley as i know the valley. we’re planting our seeds in simi valley, in monrovia and arcadia, in ventura county, in orange county, places where there is no real competition for us and where there is a need for our kind of services. these people have money to spend. the people we’re hitting are those that own adult day care facilities, which are actually houses they bought and turned into adult day care facilities. and these people own several of these places. each with about four or more residents. not only are they making money on the equity, but for each resident they get, for each house they own, they get around a couple of thousand dollars a month to take care of the patient. it’s a very interesting racket. one in which cookie plans on going. and by association, i’m going there, too.

i’ll probably end up a manager of one of the buildings. just because i got some sort of experience doing that kind fo shit and that i know the boss who happens to be my best friend and who i’ve been ballroom dancing with for around 15 years. shit works out if you wait long enough.

that meeting will probably take a couple of hours. cookie and bill got to work their magic. it’s hard enough trying to convince a family to shell out around 3 grand just for ballroom dance lessons, it’s quite another to have them shell out a 20 thousand for everything else. but those two are good at what they do. talking to parents, convincing them they need us or else everythign will go to pieces. making them feel safe and secure as long as they hire us to help out. and to be perfectly honest, it’s true. we’re pretty good at what it is we do. which is making people look good. we’ve been doing it for 13 years for fucking free. it’s just nowadays, we know what we’re worth and are going to ask for it.

And the at night, i have to work the door at this bar in los feliz. my boos at work was offered this deal to throw a party there every weekend. he wants to try it out and see. i told him he should because he could make a lot of money. the bar isn’t going to charge him anything. they just want people buying drinks. he can charge what he wants at the door. and the last couple of times he did it, he only charged five dollars, even letting in a gang load of people in for free, and still made close to a grand. it’s a sweet deal. so i’m working the door that night.

wish us luck tomorrow. if everything goes according to plan, this’ll be one of two event planning gigs we get for the summer, with some lucrative opportunities possibly spawning on the 26th. saturday nights, los feliz might be the place to go to get a drink while my boss at work rakes in a cool amount of money, and i get a piece of that pie. and then after that, the momentum kicks in and i get to ride the wave that i’ve been trying to create for the past two years.

and then finally, i can get back to the world of warcraft and kick much ass as an albino dwarven hunter.

so have fun, jaycie. you have no idea how much i want to go. but you know, making millions is time consuming.

i miss you, too. and i love you, too.
