"Soft" Open

I just wrote a short update post for Mike about Glacier's soft open today.

It was utter madness. I feel like three monkeys are jumping in my head, banging on the pans. But we made it. Because so many people showed up, I'll be taking another vacation day tomorrow to drive to Boulder and get more gelato.

Our ice cream maker didn't show up today. We haven't heard from him in a couple of days, which has put us in a pretty bad situation today. (Hence my drive up to Boulder.) But I'm trying to focus on the positive. Here are a few, before I take off to make more gelato:
  • Our wonderful friends and family who have been so supportive and helpful the past couple of weeks. Will was with us until 12:15 for two nights in a row, and tonight he stayed until 10:30. My sister worked like a slave for us for two days straight.
  • The fact that so many people showed up today. It was bad for today (not prepared), but it bodes well for the future that Mike and I maybe will do OK in this business.
  • I'm too tired to think of a third. Good night!
