Tomorrow, the city-wide project that I'm entirely responsible will be going down, and I predict a fucking madhouse at the store (massive crowd of customers, with every upper management personnel in the city, Pres, Vice, Director, etc.) - and I'm going to be in the spotlight as the live auctioneer (and project coordinator, etc.) on a venture that hasn't been tried by this company here in this city ever. Tomorrow, Adderal, Oxycontin, and Xanax or Klonopin will all be coursing through my veins. The Opiates alone are going to be enough to put me in a fantastic mood, and I'm going all out. I mean, what the fuck do I have to lose? I'm just having fun right now, not like I'm looking for a career here, and I'm surprised I've been here this long. As soon as I finish tying up these loose ends and establishing my plans, I'll move on. It's not like I need the money. At any rate - wish me luck... No - WISH ME SHEER PANDEMONIUM. I want that place to be so fucking packed full of these people that they have to shut the whole store down to hold this fucking thing. We've got around 50 items up for auction, including the most valuable item: A 1923 "St. Gaudens" Gold Double Eagle coin, mounted in a 14K pendant, in a collection of foreign paper currency (including Japanese Pesos,) foreign coins, a one ounce .999 silver minted extra-large buffalo nickel, sealed, and obviously oversized. Antiques, collectables, a 40" Mitsubishi TV, 36" WEGA flat-screen, etc... Can't fucking wait. Anyone in the SA area: PM me.
What's going to happen when you take those opiates and everyone notices you have little pin point pupils? It's going to be obvious. Believe me.
It was fantastic. Ended up selling more in an hour than most stores do in a month. Opiate influence fell completely under the radar, btw... Hell, half the time I'm there, my mood is synthetically influenced, so it wasn't like I was acting any different. (Albeit, I do reserve Oxycontin for special occasions.) And, it was fun, to boot. I plan on passing the torch soon, so if it doesn't pan out as well as it did when I was at the helm, I still have that feather in my hat, and it'll be someone else's problem. Not like I'm planning a career at this place, but it's always nice to leave an establishment on a high note.
Congrats Lomo. BTW setting up plans to spend a week in SA in the fall Sept ot Oct. Likely will stay at the Wyndham Cascada or one of several other options around Canyon Lake or West of Austin.
If that's the place I'm thinking of, they're almost finished building it. LMK a couple weeks before you arrive, I'll make some plans...
Damn it there is alwats a catch! I have about six options I'll pm you the whole list if you want to recomend which is the coolest place in the San Antonio/ Austin area.
Well, I don't know that I'd be as nice of a resource as you might think--living here rarely affords the necessity to stay in a hotel, but I might know a little here and there. If the place you referenced earlier lies on the Southwest corner of the IH-10 & Loop 1604 interchange, then it's the one I'm thinking about. They've been building it for months, so it'll probably be ready for a Summer opening. You would think they'd plan it that way, at least. You'll be close to Fiesta Texas (a "Six Flags" theme park,) and probably be able to watch their nightly firework show from your balcony, plus you'll be within pissing distance of "The Rim" (don't get excited, Dan), a new 'outdoor' shopping center with a couple of HUGE sporting goods stores, BB, Target, an IMAX theater (no, not the talk show 'nappy-headed hos' personality,) and then there's "The Shops at La Cantera, home to some of the more 'bend you over as soon as you walk in the door' stores--keep the wife out of there, or you'll end up spending a few thousand dollars, and leaving with a half-full shopping bag. And, if you need a shot of penicillin from dipping into some of the local feminine cuisine, I might still have some acquaintances at my alma mater, UTSA, again, within pissing distance. I'm sure you'll want to try some of SA's culinary offerings while you're down here, just stock up on Lipitor before you arrive, and I can recommend a few 'authentic' places to eat where you don't have to worry about being shot at. I've said this before, and I'll carry it to my grave (probably not too far away if I keep eating at these places) - the 'Madre y Padre" hole-in-the-wall restaurants are the ONLY place to go for authentic Mexican. The next best options are two places that I wouldn't mind going to (it's been so long since we had trouble with the police at both places, I doubt they would remember me...)
