201st New Thing - Went to Vinue



I've kinda recently sorta began dappling into maybe imagining of starting to think about opening my own retail store, perhaps, haha. Obviously, it is just a thought that I would like to consider sometime in the future. So I reached out to a DU MBA alumni that owns a retail store for some background, help, advice, and ideas on running your own business. She suggested we go to Vinue Food and Wine Bar in Cherry Creek, down the street from her store for happy hour. Vinue offers a world wine tasting experience set in a warm inviting atmosphere and small plates of food. Vinue caters 68 different wines from around the globe including champagne, ports, and dessert wines They offer a very unique experience by allowing the guest to self sample all our wines in 3 different amounts, 1.5oz, 3oz, and 6oz, all of which are dispensed in portion-controlled pours using the Enomatic wine system that range from $2.75 to $19 for 1.5oz, depending upon the wine. Vinue also had house wines on happy hour special for $5 so I had a Sauvignon Blanc. I will have to be more adventurous next time I go to Vinue to taste wines from around the world. My meeting went well; there is a lot to consider to start my own business. I need to define my business plan, research retail locations, obtain financing, amongst other things.

361st New Thing - Tried on Wedding Dresses

I didn't have time to post the last night, therefore I'm posting this late as this occurred yesterday (Mon 10/15/12). My friend and I went to David's Bridal last night to try on some wedding dresses. I looked on their website a few months ago to get a feel of the type of dresses I like. There are 6 styles: Classic & Traditional, Chic & Modern, Elegant & Luxurious, Glamorous & Dramatic, Destination, and Reception. I like Classic & Traditional the best. There are 5 silhouettes to choose from: A-Line, Ball Gown, Mermaid/Trumpet, Sheath, and Short. I like A-Line the best. I'm considering straps or strapless. It took about 1.5 hours to try on 5 dresses. I liked 2 of the dresses I tried on, both were under $350. My goal is to find one under $200. Here is one of the 'favorites' that I saw online. It is hard to tell if I would or wouldn't like it on myself. What did you do today?

271st New Thing - Visited the Space Needle

I was on vacation so I didn't have time to post the last few nights, therefore I'm posting this late as this occurred 1 day ago   (Tues 7/17/12).   We were in the northwest in the Washington State area for a few days so Matt and my 2 Chicago friends were in Seattle and up the Space Needle yesterday. The Space Needle is a tower in Seattle, Washington and is a major landmark of the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It was built for the 1962 World's Fair, during which time nearly 20,000 people a day used the elevators, with over 2.3 million visitors in all for the World Fair. The Space Needle is 605 feet high at its highest point and 138 feet wide at its widest point and weighs 9,550 tons. It is built to withstand winds of up to 200 mph and earthquakes of up to 9.1 magnitude. The tower also has 25 lightning rods on its roof to prevent lightning damage. The Space Needle features an observation deck at 520 feet, and a gift shop with the rotating SkyCity resta...
