For Those About To Rock...

It's done.

Eyesore Cinema will officially open it's door to business on Wednesday August 27th at 3:pm.

It has been a long, strange trip indeed. Today is the 6 month anniversary of the great fire. Friday is my 40th birthday. I'm gonna take a little break and collect myself for a few days so that I can welcome you all rested, relaxed (and... as some have suggested, showered) and ready to serve.

I am looking forward to greeting old friends and new! See you next week!

Assessing Assinine Assumptions

Oh my god!

Why didn't someone tell me that this was going to be so much work. I mean really, wow, starting from scratch is no small feat. I'm in this way over my head and I guess you're all having a good laugh at my expense...well...hahaha! I hope you're all proud of yourselves!

Well, here I am. It's too late to turn back now and I just plain refuse to do a half-assed job of it! So...at the risk of making a complete ass of myself, I'm not going to open the store until it's absolutely ready.

I've been working my ass off and it's almost done, so bear with me a little while longer as I take care of the final touches. It won't be long now, I promise, we're down to days!

Sincere thanks to all those who have been assisting me out and to those who have stopped in to wish me luck, it really, really helps. Enjoy the long weekend for me... I'll be working hard to push it through.

Newton's Law in Action

If it can go wrong....

So... well, all I can say at this point, is that once everything is ready things will be running very smoothly. Only because every possible thing that could go wrong, has gone wrong. I love computers (not) and getting our software working the way we want it to is proving to be very problematic. Our I.T. guys are working feverishly to exterminate the bugs but this is an uphill battle.

Your patience and understanding is appreciated. After all, this is ultimately for the good of our customers.

Hopefully we will be open for business in short order. Watch this space for updates!

Of Mice and Men

As in: best laid plans of...

Sorry, life happens!

Barring any more unforeseen disasters, we'll be open on Friday the 27th...fingers crossed.

The Good Things In Life Are Worth Waiting For...

So what is my excuse...

Have you ever had a dream where you are desperately running through a hallway or down a tunnel and you can see the end way up ahead but it never seems to get any closer no matter how fast and hard you try to get there? Or the one where your trying to climb a mountain made of bean-bag chairs? Or the one where you are bound in chains, hanging upside-down over a pit full of hungry badgers that are wearing vests made of razor blades, swimming in iodine and you are screaming as loud as you can but no sound comes out?

Due to circumstances beyond my control and one or two circumstances of my having control issues, we will be open for business on June 20th, 2oo8. This date not only marks the four month anniversary of the fire but also the summer solstice. An auspicious date, indeed!

My sincere apologies for the delay! I'll be at the space, getting things ready, pretty well every day for the next 10 days. If you want to, stop by and chastise me in person. I'm a glutton for punishment, obviously. I'm certain, in fact, that this Friday the 13th I'll be there between 5 and 8pm, probably enjoying a cold beverage or two and proudly admiring my own handy-work (or pulling my hair out in a frustrated, impotent rage).

Stop in and say "Hi"
