The beauty of this digital age is that anyone can make a movie. Todd, Josh, and I had a great idea for a movie… a monastery of venture capitals whose main pleasures are martinis, pre-IPO companies, and motorcycles. Each monk would have his specialty like, The Evangelist, who would be a marketing machine, with a penchance for sailboats and gin martinis. There would be the Brother Bean, counter of the beans… making sure that you books are in order and the coffee is fresh roasted… There is endless room with this idea.
So much to write about… none of it makes sense. Did everyone else like the dancing monkey eTrade ad? I thought it was the best one out there… otherwise the Superbowl ads were a waste of time and effort.
In other news, Josh has been on a quest to make liquor. There is this drink called lemoncello… it’s Italian. Jess raves about the stuff. Well, Josh found a recipe. It involves lemons, lots of lemons, and grain alcohol. It about two weeks we’ll have a sampling at Toledo.
We went shopping on Saturday… that was a mistake. The combination of pre-Superbowl and ice storm was just brutal at the old Safeway. People are far to serious when it comes to shopping. They have this face like, “If you squeeze one more of those lemons, I’ll beat you senseless, drag your body to the dairy section, and leave you for dead.” Check out lines are great places to work on new material. I think we have perfected ability to have a funny conversation and watch people around us try not to crack up.
