Today Rogers and I scoured Goodwill's across Central Indiana in the search for the great "Vintage" (which is a cool way to say "Used") stash of shirts. We came away approximately 83 dollars later with approximately 72 shirts. The hastily put together business plan, if you can call it that, calls for us to keep our average shirt costs at $1.14. Today we were at $1.15...right on schedule. The only part of this whole thing I'm really worried about being completely wrong about is the market. Do college kids at AU really want this service? I guess we'll have to wait and see. One optimistic part of me can picture this being wildly successful and students will be wearing the shirts we provide for months and years to come. Another side thinks well at least a few people will come, but we might be stuck with over 200 t-shirts and nothing to do with them.
Overall, I really do believe we will make a profit. It may be a very small profit, not monetarily worthwhile, but intrinsically we will have the feeling that we ran a successful business for a day or two and extrinsically we will have an extra hundred shirts to keep our poor barely-profiting bodies warm throughout the winter! Tomorrow, maybe I'll read a few more chapters of my entrepreneur book and see what we're doing wrong.
Tonight was a nice time of reminiscing and chatting at The Lounge before heading off to The Exorcism of Emily Rose with Felder. an interesting flick, kind of freaky, kind of disturbing, yet super-kind of interesting.
Tomorrow. (Today). the fourth year anniversary of the 9-11 attacks. the true beginning of the 2005 professional football season. I wonder which will get more attention.
