New Network

We have been doing a lot more "networking" over the last few days. Not on purpose mind you but through happy accidents and social events with lots of folks who are friends of friends and new neighbors. It seems that lately we are in more and more situations in which we can talk about the restaurant. Whether we are being out in social settings more often or "WE" have a voice instead of just "me" having a voice, I'm not sure.

My other thought is that Lydia is such a huge advocate of our dream. This is not to say that I don't want the same things, but she has more of a voice. Her marketing ideas and sense are what is going to get people in the door and my food is what will hopefully bring them back.

I also would like to point out that Lydia helps to keep me focused. Working 60 or 70 hours a week in a kitchen that doesn't belong to you makes things a little difficult. Coming home to do research and work on the computer is not always the first thing I think of when I walk through the door.

With Lydia's encouragement it doesn't seem like such a daunting task. Plus with the growing community of people checking in on Facebook and Twitter to see what we are doing, I want everyone to get as excited as we are, so that when we do get open we will have everyone clamoring for our pasta.
