conference!

i just got back from a conference put on by and for other franchise owners. it was probably the most useful two days i have ever spent relating to the store. we shared ideas, experiences, and more than one or two retarded-customer stories. it's hard to believe how willing these people are to help each other. some of the attendees have stores that provide them with "healthy" incomes and they are just as intent on learning new things as those that are struggling. even after meetings were done each day, we inevitabley met in the bar for drinks, stories, brain-picking, and general debauchery.

and what conference would be complete without a 1am drunken denny's run? not only were we the rowdiest table in the joint but i masterfully attempted to sexually harass the other customers while yelling across the room at 'swamp-ass' to pass the ketchup. i know, i'm good at multitasking. what can i say?
