John, start a blog.

John,

I believe I speak on behalf of all of us when I say...

Start your blog. ACTUALLY start a wiki and a blog. I want a place we can log on to and start dicussing the bar. I want to start designing this bar by comittee - the first bar of its kind, where anyone can log on and post their comments, add their opinions, and add crude and offensive jokes - usually at the expensive of one of our friends, and more than likely by one of our friends.

Damn it - I want a project to provide some thought-leadership to. We've all got big plans for this bar man - those Pro Evo tournaments aren't going to throw themselves. The sooner we get the ball rolling, the more likely it is that we'll have a bar by the summer...

Dont those endless ramblings deserve a home?

I think they do....

Now. Step one - go to blogger and create yourself a blog. I've checked the following, and they're available:

* UntitledBarProject
* Bar-By-Committee
* JohnsBar
* JohnSmells
* (with all due respect) JaitIsGay
* (with all due respect) Jait-Is-Gay
* (with all due respect) JaitsGay

HAHA sorry got sidetracked....

The location has to be ShoHo:

'It's been about 10 years since the Bricklayers Arms (info) and the Blue Note (now Bluu - info) began to attract young scallywags away from the bars and clubs of Soho and Islington, and though the crowd has become slightly more mainstream, it is still a world away from the anodyne tosh that one encounters all too often in the West End.'

Damn that anodyne west end tosh....damn it to heck. no - damn it to heck and back - then damn it to heck again.

'Given a choice, I would work ONLY on projects that followed the Hollywood Model, where people come together with their respective skills and talents, and DO something. Make a web app. Create a book. Build a game. Develop and deliver learning experiences. The happiest moments of my work life were on projects where we pulled all-nighters because we wanted to, not because the corporate culture said we weren't a true team-player/trooper if we didn't.'
