I'm hoping that this doesn't come across as shameless self-promotion, but I realize that it might. Anyways, the fact is that I'm just stoked. In addition to surfing, I've spent the last few years traveling around the world and across the country in what would amount to a grand beer tour, so this has been a long-time dream.

In any event, three weeks ago my wife, my business partner and I bought a pub/restaurant. It's been heaps of 16 hour days, but it's an absolute blast.

The point of this post is to say that if you have an ambition to do something, go for it. If you're looking to start your own business or buy an existing one, send me a PM and I'll tell you how we did it, and would be glad to assist in providing info on what it takes to start a company.

And... if you're looking for a place with tasty food, over 90 beers, and good sports on TV, come and say hi to me at Coasters Pub at the corner of A1A and Eau Gallie.

Good luck, Dave. Hope all goes well for you, your wife, and your partner.

Indeed, Larry.
Stop by for a brew sometime!
Hope all is going well at your new job....

Too cool. Coasters is a great place. I've been frequenting that spot way back when it was Hubb's Pub. Good luck with it!

Good on ya mate!

Coasters, is that the one back in the corner by Winn Dick-me?

Congrats

Hey do you guys have Vegemite and toast?

Congratulations to you- And lots of Success- As a former restauranter spouse myself I know the commitment for this, but I am sure the rewards will be great- We will definately stop by- Are you all changing up the place in any way? GOOD LUCK TO YOU- Word of mouth is the best promotion, next to 2nd light of course!

That's cool. Getting the dream job is definitely possible if you work hard enough for it.

What kind of food will you be serving?

-------------------------

Outta time!

Congrats Dude!

Shameless self promotion of this variety is not only appropriate, but appreciated.

I hope you'll find a way to put some authentic Aussie meat pies on the menu (different flavor every day would be awesome).

Ban the Fosters and stock up on VB!

Costa Rican "Imperial" is now available in Brevard (hint hint).

If you can top that with Costa Rican "Pilsen" and ceviche I'll be camping on the doorstep when you open.

Make sure one of those big TV's is dedicated to full-time surf-porn.

If you ran your own designated-driver taxi service for beachside residents at closing time, that might help draw even more people.

Best of luck; the wife and I will be in soon.

The 2nd-Light party night is a winner of an idea too.

Sweet. My wife and I like that place. I formally enter my request for surf movie playback capability.

What is this beer stuff you are talking about and why have 90 types when you could have just one?
