Penny-- We talked mostly about business conditions, and I mentioned that there "are tons of people waiting for a re-launch", and he was surprised by this comment. He then shrugged it off and mentioned that the restaurants are doing okay but would be better if the Denver minimum wage was decreased. (I think the Denver minimum wage is $18).
Nothing to give me hope that this is coming back. I'm tempted to go to Takiza next Friday night, but really what is there to learn? He's been radio silent for years, even to us the initial 27 investors.
I think he's comfortable running his restaurants and not dealing with the madness he encountered with Wall Street.
None of this changes what I wrote in my threads/statements in March of this year.
