    Awesome-sorta kilt-news

    A local coffee shoppe, called the Irish Expresso Shoppe, has come under new ownership. Since I go there a lot, most of the time kilted, the new owner has really taken a liking to me; she has asked me to help out with her new ideas. She has asked me to help out with the sound system, and new ideas for foods, since she is trying to make the shop into a deli.

    Recently, she told me she applied for a license, to sell Bud Light, Boulevard Wheat, and GUINNESS on draught. The former owners, (the new owner's in-laws whom just happen to be from Dublin), introduced me to the new owner. I would just be your average customer, except that I wear a kilt, and they are estatic that I am so committed to their business.

    I guess I just wanted to brag since due to my main job, I cannot be an amployee or an owner of any liquor establishment. I get to make a pub in my own fashion, which is a dream!

    P.S. I have not asked her about discount price kilt nights, since she gives me such a discount every time I am there, and I do not think I want to loan out my kilts.
