It implies a pretentious, rather snooty place with people inside putting on airs. In reality it will be none of that. However, as the name suggests, it will be the one place in town to get a perfectly mixed cocktail, with just the right mix of ingredients and loving attention to detail.<BR/><BR/>We'll see. We can always change the name to "Pete's" or something, if we have to. Pete is the on-site guy. He started the place and the other partners will be along for the ride.The Atavisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12529157597486952484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931353.post-53630375780050104852008-01-14T16:08:00.000-05:002008-01-14T16:08:00.000-05:00Well, Atavist, aren't you the grand enigma!

I've had a couple of friends from the latter category indulged in such. Still, you will enjoy and learn from the experience. <BR/><BR/>I am more wistfully envious of your comfortable gut feel towards new people. I have only had severe gut reactions in the negative to about one in a thousand people I have met. Those feelings proved 100% accurate. Unfortunately, both Mark and I accept the remainder at face value. This led to some serious jade, particularly in that last locale of ours. Perhaps we needed that glaring impetus to forge our current adventure. <BR/><BR/>I hope your trust and gut feel are never betrayed. My gut feel: I don't like the name 'Cocktails' for some reason but I can't tell you why. Oh, isn't that helpful ... but it just doesn't settle with me for a feeling of long term business success. I want to see you all prosper and enjoy this venture.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09100999113439449482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931353.post-8956102639307959302008-01-14T15:10:00.000-05:002008-01-14T15:10:00.000-05:00Thanks, freddie.

This is going to be a very basic tropical bar, hopefully with a bit of class, but only when measured against a tin roof perched on some poles hewn from the jungle not far away.

A relative of ours is getting married. Too bad it won't be up and running by then. :o( <BR/><BR/>Good luck on your new adventure! I'm the only lush in our family. No one else drinks. Then again, I can only have one, I know my limits. :o) Not that it affects me in the wrong way, actually it mellows me out.
