New Location Search - Day 1

Tracking Location Photos
We just got back to the hotel from Day 1 of our search for Lago's Lounge new location in Charlotte. We looked at 11 houses today -- two were immediately disqualified from the search due to smoking. The stench of cigarette smoke hit you as soon as you went inside -- yuck! The whole house wreaked of it. Both places were actually very nice and in great neighborhhods, but with the stinking cigarette smoke it's no deal. Let that be a lesson to you smokers out there -- not only do you have poor health, but non-smokers aren't gonna buy your stinky homes.

We did see some nice places in nice neighborhoods, one even had an in-ground pool and a hot tub in the backyard. The last house we saw was a real fixer-upper, but would be livable while you made renovations.

I was pleasantly surprised on our drive last night that we didn't hit more traffic (or Northeast-style traffic) coming down on the Friday before Memorial Day Weekend. We made great time and had a chance to look up some things online before calling it a night.

We have about 11 more places to look at tomorrow. We have some places we like, but we want to see everything before we start to really narrow it down. As for tonight, we're hitting the town for dinner and drinks and what have you. Right now Lago is napping and I may join her before getting ready to go out.

BTW... that's the realtor's mini-van in the photos.

New Woodside Lounge

Opened up the new Woodside Lounge yesterday. For those of you who have visited in the past, this room is at the front of the house but many times went unnoticed by visitors as it was closed off and used as storage. The new Woodside Lounge has its own TV, even though it's around the corner from the theater room. It just goes without saying, all lounges must have a TV for sporting events. I believe it's in the building code. Music is served up from the stereo system currently residing in the dining room, but I'm thinking of moving it to the Lounge. Today I went streakin'! Remember, use that sunblock out there. - Salud!

Summer Mix 2007

I probably should give this over the weekend to think about it, because there are three songs not included in this year's Summer Mix that I've been flip-flopping over. The mix just seems very tight and I can't fit the songs in without repeating the "essence," "groove" or beat of another song. I think the mixes for me work best when they flow and take you from one place to another musically without beating you over the head with the same style. Another thing I like to do with the Summer Mix is incorporate the old alongside the new. I hate to put two old songs back to back, or should I say two songs from the same era back to back. Now as you look at my mix you'll see some old songs next to other old songs. I guess it's not a hard and fast rule for me, but I try to at least jump a decade between two old songs. Like last year I kept the sound effects to a minimum, using a mix I created of beach sounds for the opening and a crickets sound effect for ...
