I was there and that was a great re-cap. It was very apparent to me
that Jim & Denny are doing this because it's something they WANT to
do. Making a profit is important, but at heart they are both 'makers'.

If I had any qualms it was perhaps that they are moving a little fast.
They have sold 'only' 350 of the 500 cap in their first store, and a
lot of the answeres were "we are developing that". If anyone remembers
the Increadable Universe chain's fast expansion and later implosion I
might be worried (if I were an investor) that they are moving too
agressivly.

The location is 31st NW, close to Portland Brewing. Excellent, since
my work space is moving to 35th NW in a couple months. ;-)

Overall, I am excited and will at least purchase 'months' as I need them.
