In life, you only get one shot, we have to do this right!

REVAMP!!!!!
It is even hard to start today, so much has happened, and I am so so so tired, in a good way but still. I am having a hard time trying to calm Scott a little bit down, not very successful with it. Yesterday we went to the all you can eat restaurant, and we said, that we are just going to relax and not going anywhere, but we ended up going to the bar and spent the night here. It was a bit uncomfortable, and I just wanted to sleep, but we still had some things done, like cleaning up most of the bar and plan the layout of the place. After that, I had to go to sleep, since I dont have to superpower of Scott, who still stayed up for hours and then woke up before me and already started working. Seriously, I couldnt move till like 8 AM and I knew how busy day we have ahead of us!
We started up with the basic things, Scott was taking care of the front of the bar, cleaning all the windows, sorting out the whole outer bit of the bar, while I was doing our financial charts for the budget for the opening. Than we printed off lots of Lost in Budapest logos and backgrounds with some of the new posters for the opening and sticked them up on the whole entrance, leaving only a tiny place for checking, who is at the door. Throughout the whole day, there were so many people walking by, and some of them even stopped by and asked about what we are going to do with the property. One of them was nice enough to give us a bucket for the cleaning and said it would be very nice if we could teach her daughter a bit of English:). The other women was feeding the cat on our doorstep, so we asked her about the cat that stays here, and told her about our idea to create the first dog run next to a bar and being animal friendly, which is a very important character of the bar! Having two dogs, we know how much they mean and we would like to provide a nice environment for them, even when you are going out and having fun:)!

Unfortunately we have some people from the building that are not very happy about a new bar opening just under them, and we met two of this kind today. It is not our strongest  point dealing with negative people, since I am not very good at telling people off and Scott is too good at it, especially not speaking Hungarian. So, we had a little bit of argument with one of the tenants of the building saying that we are not going to get the licence we are waiting for. But all is good, we try to handle it in a nice way, and concentrate on what is important now.
I went to meet my parents at the flat to get some stuff, and they brought my bike, and then we came back to the bar, so they can see it, and we bought a bottle of champagne with my mom to celebrate the fact we got the place. They both really liked the bar and we had a quick chat about our ideas and the plan to get my sister come back to Hungary and work for Lost in Budapest. But this is a longer term thing, we have to see first how things are going to go this summer. We have to be aware of the crowd that comes here, of the stock we have to have, everything.

After that, we booked the flight for  Justin, who is going to be the dj on the opening night, he is going to fly over from England to provide the best music for the party. And another big news, is we got music support by Mark Doyle, he sent four tracks over for our videos, and he gave his full support to our project and the idea behind it. This a great honour for Scott, as he has been a big fan of him for years. 
I have a really hard time telling Scott to relax a little bit, he is not willing to listen to me, but I guess, even he is going to need some sleep eventually:). 
Tomorrow is going to be busy, hopefully we sign the contract and other then that I have to sort out the beer and drinks, and some more of the paperwork. Just feels like everyday there is so much to do, and the plan is to do whatever we can a week before the Opening, so we can have a little bit of rest before we open up! Haha, I believe it when I see it:)!! Anyway, it seems like it is going to be a long week again, working hard on the bar, most important thing for now is that we can sign and it can all go official!!
