For those of you I haven't introduced myself to yet, my name is Dr. Stephen Strange.

The more recently arrived may not know but thanks to the generosity of Morningstar we own two buildings in New Amsterdam: one is the garage above the current safehouse and the other is a bar under the sports stadium in the city.

The latter we intend to open soon as Red Wings, a working sports bar, with a view to ensuring financial independence and security for us as a group going forward. It's been in the works for a while, will operate under the management of myself and [Bad username or site: clarke @ griffin], and we're looking for a staff.

We'll need bar staff and security for busier periods. We're aiming to create as much opportunity as possible, so if you're interested don't hold back on letting us know. There's no application, no bar work experience necessary, we'll just need to speak with you to figure out suitability and availability. If you're interested in a security position I need to stress that power use is absolutely out of bounds, so experience will be a little more important here.

If any of the more financially established of you can volunteer time or resources while we get this off the ground, that will also be appreciated. Any of you with significant Cooltalk followings, I'd like to talk about collaborating to help us hit the ground running.

Any questions, interest checks, etc, you can get in touch with me here or with Clarke or myself personally via direct message.

Yes, I could definitely learn how to do that.

I'd like to offer it as a unique feature, and I've looked into what supplies we need. It's far simpler than you'd expect, especially since we'll be looking at smoking vegetables instead of meats.

[a 2 minute future-google search of how to smoke food later:]

It'll take some practice, but I do think I could do it. I don't think we'll have a problem finding different kinds of woodchips. Is it something you've done before?

[strove]

So long as there aren't sustainability concerns. We may need to be creative.

And I have. We weren't looking into controlling the flavor as much, but it's a skill I picked up at some point.

[Because somehow they trained teenagers to smoke food on a space ship.]

[culver]

I can do more research, and see what the best options would be.

Well, I guess now is your chance!

[having been a teenager on a spaceship, nill can attest that one picks up all kinds of weird skills]

[strove]

Yes, it is. We've done some research on what bars normally have, but I think having that extra special something will do a lot.

Thanks for being interested in it.

[culver]

Thanks for putting it all together. It couldn't have been easy.

[strove]

This part of it has been easy. Markus and Stephen did most of the work, but it idled while we dealt with Markus' absence.
