Mama, I’m comin’ home
May 21, 2007 |
I can finally let you in on the worst kept secret in town…I’m buying Ruby’s. Though everything is still tentative and not 100% finalized, I should be the new owner on July 1st.
Mark your calendars for 7/7/07 and come party with me at my grand opening. Actually you can party with me any other night too. I hope to see you there.

I hate to miss the grand opening…I will be in NYC.
Nate, there may be a lot of memories there, but can’t say as this is the wisest investment a person could make. It was good for Ruby because it was paid for. Might be a little harder for new owner, as the present ones found out.
I appreciate the concern. I guess we’ll see if this business degree is worth the paper it’s printed on.
Congratulations! Welcome back! Does this mean you will now join the fun the second Monday of every month at City Hall?
Atlast!My own monster! And in my favorite colors! Thanks!
Congatulations Nate! I think you will do great owning Ruby’s and you will be able to draw more crowds. So does this mean your moving back to Stuart?
The current owners are doing good business, they just don’t want to do it anymore. It’s not because no one’s going.
Yeah, you can have Ann’s seat at the council meetings since she just sends Peg to cover for her now.
Then where will Peg sit?
On your lap.
No, see, Peg and Ann both went but since Ann has basically given her blog to Peg, Peg is the only one who goes to the meetings out of that group. Not that I am complaining.
damn, congrats. you have cojones. gotta take risks, I suppose. its the only way. Ive always liked ruby’s especially when no one is there. Are you changing the name? Are you going to make people wear shirts now at least? and what about chopping out rails of meth in the bathroom? can you still do that? I hope you can transform it and not just take over. good luck, nate. woah, isnt there a show like this on tv? prodigal son returns home, buys the townie bar..or bowling alley? something like that. you could have a show - call it “Nate”
Get Fox on the phone for me. They’ll do a reality show about anything won’t they?
Save me a permanent seat at the bar.
I have contacts at NBC and ABC…I’ll see what I can do for the reality show… Also might have to make the big trip home for 7.7.7. Is that luck?
7-7-7…it’s a karma thing. I think I might need a little bit of it.
Welcome back Nate,,,,,,
Rubys is one of those bars where you can actually feel your IQ getting lower as time passes. I hope you can change that.
Isn’t that the point? I don’t think I’ve ever gone to a bar to gain brain cells.
Good for you, Nate. Best of luck.
take my advice or leave it - dont let a certain someone back in the bar who is currently or you will be busted for running a brothel. just words to the wise.
other than that. i wish you nothing but luck in the bar. :).
umm, brothels are bad?
not if you like herpes!
smile!
I think you mean currently banned.
Herpes are better than hispes.
what in the hell is hispes? damn. you must’ve learned a heck of a lot at KU. i’m joking. not really. ok, yes i am. seriosuly, keep those who are banned banned or your biz will go fi ’shiz.
Congrats Nate! Hope to see you back in Stuart soon. Once I get back from the South Pacific I’ll be visiting Ruby’s immediately. Take care bud!
Way to go Nateo!! I think you should buy Johnnys too, and bust out the wall, and have a mega-bar!
It would be nice if I had so many customers I needed to do that. I kind of like Johnnie’s though.
Good Luck, Just want to know, when I come in on which side of the bar should I look for you?
Who said you can’t come home again. Good for you Nate.
Looking forward to opening day. Check out what I’m wearing at my web site baby.
Do you hire teachers as bartenders?
How are your dancing-on-the-bar skills?
I really hope you aren’t asking your sister to dance on the bar. That’s kind of a weird request from a brother. Has a bit of an “ew” factor.
maybe it’s a multi-purpose bar?
Ok. Then I’m REALLY hoping he’s not planning on pimping his sister out.
His sister isn’t the only teacher he knows!
But she is hot!
Good Luck with the bar Nate. I am glad you are moving back.
i agree kc. his sister is pretty good looking! sorry, nate! you probably don’t want to hear that.
I’m well aware she got the looks. At least I got the talent…well maybe the charisma…or at least the brains…uh, I’ll have to get back to you on that.
Congrats! I knew it would come through for you. Don’t forget to buy the blender!
So, is it safe to say our class reunion will be held at the bar? Who am I kiddin, we need no excuses to go to a bar!!!
People started giving me a hard time about going everyday so I thought if I bought a bar I’d have a real reason to go.
Is your cousin owning a bar a good enough excuse to go every day? Even if it’s in a different time zone?
kaite phipen?
You have a hot sister? Is that the one mom and dad gave up for adoption?
Nate, if you EVER need ANY help increasing the profitability of your new endeavor, shine the bat signal.
Err…post a call for help on your blog. I’ve got tons of business boosting tips I’d offer in exchange for a half priced pitcher.

That’s me.
