I just wanted to post this e-mail discussion I had w/ Harrison on April 1st when I e-mailed him regarding his 3/22/05 blog about DirecTV and he responded to me talking about the Palm Springs weekend, etc., etc. etc.:
Hi, Phillip .
While hanging around the public throng of attendees, visitiors from all over expresssed high hopes of seeing Q in their home markets sson. Bandied about were wish list cities and forms of carriage, all of which sounded good to everyone. No-one from Q spoke at all of any imminency or specificity regarding any deals, with me, anyway. I was there to help only and enjoyed the overall zeal and excited ambitions and buzz of this new voice for gay folks.
I don’t own any stock but your email has invited me to take a closer look.
Thanks for saying hi.
HARRISON

Hello Harrison, as a current investor in QBID for 2 months I was happy to notice you stated in your 3/22 blog (3rd paragraph)the following:
"Q Television Network has beaten all the other gay ?channels? out of the gate. They're even publicly traded on Wall Street (QBID). This massive undertaking is but one of many that are planned. And On Q Live is a daily show from 6:30-9:30 p,m. So far, the network?s on in Chicago , San Francisco , and Boston . Seattle ?s next and so is Direct TV. "
I was wondering if you had a conversation w/ someone from Q who told you about an imminent Direct TV deal? As you can imagine, this would be great news for Q and it's shareholders. Any light you may be able to shed on the subject would be greatly appreciated...thank you...

XJer and all,
Great time to buy into the market in general - everything is down... GLTA (especially in a period like this)

slapngo,
Welcome to our QRVI board! GL

It would be nice if QRVI updated their IR page w/ the new PR's:

Phil
gooddoc,
Please back your "insider knowledge" up with DD whether it be a conversation you had w/ Mr. Patterson or a website link you found. I think you owe this to us!
Future posts like this WILL be deleted as I have created this board for proper DD and NOT for pumping.
Respectively,
Phil
gooddoc,
I left a message @ 407.333.8998 x126 just now. Maybe they'll call back...maybe they wont!
Phil
gooddoc,
Although I would love to find out an update float, I have my Universitie's job fair today which I am trying to prepare for and unfortunately do not have time...
If someone else would like to figure out what the float is, I'd be more than happy to update iBox...thanks and sorry in advance...
Phil
P.S. I noticed "EdFrankie" was the individual who found out the float last time on 3/17/05 so if one of us has access to PMing, then maybe we can ask him to address the issue (if he still owns QRVI)...
I think will be an interesting week IMHO

Ultimate Franchise Systems Releases 2004 Review Showing 57% Growth
April 11, 2005 4:05:00 PM ET
HEATHROW, Fla., April 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ultimate Franchise Systems Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: UFSY) today released a summary of significant events for 2004. The company completed several significant transactions during the year, adding three new brand affiliations and increasing UFSY's franchise restaurants from 385 to almost 600. This was a 57% increase in the number of franchise affiliates in the one-year period.
The following events were undertaken by UFSY in 2004 to increase its shareholder value:
1. The name of Sobiks Franchising Systems Inc. was changed to Quality Restaurant Ventures Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: QRVI) to better position the company for acquisitions and new franchise expansion.
2. UFSY assisted QRVI in the acquisition of Famous Food Group (OTC Pink Sheets: FFDG), owner of the Famous Uncle Al's Hot Dog chain of 12 fast food units.
3. UFSY assisted QRVI in the acquisition of Westshore Pizza, based in Tampa, Fla., with 50 restaurants.
4. UFSY acquired 100% of Obee's Franchising Systems Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: OBFC) then spun the company off into its own public corporation late in the year. OBFC now has commitments to open 1,300 franchises over the next 10 years.
5. UFSY acquired 100% of the Juicy Lucy's Hamburger chain of nine units, adding $3.6 million in sales.
6. UFSY invested sizably in Picadilly Cafeterias and Harvey's Bistro Restaurants.
7. UFSY opened more than 30 new franchises in its family of brands.
8. UFSY formed a new public company, FransAction Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: FCTN), to lead the company's new thrust of franchise expansion.
"2004 was a very strong year for UFSY," said Christopher Swartz, UFSY CEO. "The OBFC spin-off was a major event that went smoothly and has attracted national attention to our company. We also increased our brand affiliations to 13 and grew from operating in 20 states to 30 states across the country. Our next step will be to develop an investor relations program that carries this important message to our shareholders and the investment community."
UFSY's affiliate brands include: Gator's Dockside Restaurants, Jreck Subs Inc., Central Park Hamburgers, Li'l Dino's Deli and Grille, Sobiks Subs, Famous Uncle Al's Hot Dogs, Flamers Hamburgers, Westshore Pizza, Mountain Mike's Pizza, New York Burrito, Picadilly Restaurants, and Juicy Lucy's Hamburgers.

Interesting! Breaking News !!!!! CBS “60 Minutes” to Air Story on Naked Shorting
New York, Friday April 1, 2005
CBS News today announced that this coming Sunday, April 3rd, their flagship news magazine “60 Minutes” will air an expose of what has been called “the biggest financial scam in the history of the world” — the campaign against naked short selling.
Roger de Minimis, acting head of CBS News, said, “Our close friends at the National Association of Freedom Funds have convinced us that we are the news organization with the credulity and appropriate level of integrity to air a story about this issue.”
CBS News confirmed that it has filmed hundreds of hours of explosive footage with informed figures such as SEC Chairman William Donaldson, NY Attorney General Eliot Spitzer and DTCC Deputy General Counsel Larry W. Byrd, which will “blow the lid off” the murky figures behind the campaign against naked shorting.
Veteran CBS news anchor Dan Rather will return to host the special segment, and has personally verified all the source documents for this story. Said Rather, “Once the truth gets out, this thing is going to come crashing down faster than a drunken hooker up a hickory tree.”
The impact of this story is hard to predict, but the markets could be in for a “Black Monday” if the Sunday broadcast lives up to the expectations of some experts. Officials at the Pink Sheets Exchange
