David asked from the comments if we were ready to open the restaurant/club. An interesting question to be sure. Here's the 411. Training for the new staff starts on Monday morning. We believed we would have the main floor to work on as the staff training will include bartenders, bussers, hosts, servers, bar backs, food runners and about 25 retail sales people. Turns out the main floor probably won't be finished and what parts are ready will be given over for rehearsals for the back up performers for a major recording artist, performing live in concert for 250 invited guests, who our media/PR people have gone and booked for Tuesday. On our 2nd day of training. Followed by Wednesday and Thursday training, followed by a Thursday night party for a top European Billboard recording artist, here to promote his album in the US. Two parties before the restaurant is anywhere near completed, followed by three nights of soft openings. After which we'll open to the public. Assuming our valid liquor license comes through.
We will have ice machines and therefore ice by the end of the day tomorrow. But as it stands now there is no finished bar to make these drinks, no soda system hooked up and no beer taps connected. The kitchen could crank out something along the lines of food if pressed. Maybe they'll enjoy bottled water and hot dogs on toothpicks.
Now I can't tell you who will be performing live this week. I'm sworn to secrecy, and if it got out and was traced back to me I'd get in a mess of trouble. So I guess you'll have to rack your brain and try to figure it out from this obscure reference. His or Her People Magazine nickname rhymes with that gold ring thingy around an angel's head. But I can't tell you, so don't try to get more clues.
Heeeeee!
