BOO!! Well BOO! tomorrow night!

I cannot believe that we still have some black fanged rubber duckies in stock! What, has the world gone crazy? Everyone needs a black fanged rubber duck for Halloween! PLUS we have 5 graveyard herb growing cemeteries too! Scare the neighbours with creepy goulish----CORIANDER!! Geesh. Here is what we were trying to avoid-Little Timmy says to his mom after a big night of trick or treating with sad puppy eyes-"Mommy, how come nobody gave me what I wanted?" Mommy-"what's that sad little Timmy?" Timmy-"a black fanged rubber ducky". Sniff. And then sad little Timmy turns into a crackhead, with many regrets.....
This CAN be avoided if you rush down to the WaterShoppe and purchase some spooky rubber ducks! We've got em in red, we got em with flames, we got em with horns! We got purple, we got striped, we got scarrrrry yellow!!! Think of little Timmy!
We have some very very clever ideas up our sleeve at the W.S. and we are going to pull out the big guns within the next week.
Oh, I also have to mention something very important. We have been contacted by Gilda's House to donate gift baskets, and we need more people to support the cause. If you are not familiar with Gilda's House, please google it and see what a beautiful, emotional, supportive foundation this is. Help!!
Have a spooky safe night tomorrow, and eat lots of candy!!

For the love of Pete, when is this weather going to get stable? One day hot chocolate samples, the next day sno cones. One day a parka, the next day flip flops and a sweat mustache! It's unsettling, unsettling.
So we attended our first Business Improvement meeting for the Danforth. I actually enjoyed the meet and greet, and the first hour. Then, the information about proposed spending budgets began, and there I was picking at my shirt like a kid, and thinking "If I go over to the appetizer table and fill my plate again, will they think I'm a swine?" One gal in particular was really into raising her hand and adding comments, which made me fantasize of jumping across the table and throwing a flying knee into her chest, and then taking her down with an arm bar. I bet nobody would have stopped the action. UFC is alive and well in my heart.
What is great about the BIA is they really care an awful lot about our street, and we are thankful for the folks that take time out of their busy lives to do what most of us won't. Cheers to you!
So did you know that it's possible to fit 10 large heavy cases of bottled water into a jetta? And if you really press it, you can get from 337 Danforth to the Sheraton Center on Queen Street within 13 minutes. Of course, you make a few enemies along the way, like pedestrians, TTC, fellow drivers, and insignificant red lights. Good thing I put some underpants over the licence plate! In your FACE surveillance cameras! I was also clever enough to wear a ski mask and a trench.... sooo incognito on a hot day......
Our website is in the final stages, we are going to be interviewed on the radio next week, and Toronto Life is doing a write up about our store, and a fine water from France you NEED to try. Remember how Lisa has been quoted a few times saying "anyone who says water is just water is mistaken?". Well mes amies, she is talking about WattWiller. This water is sweet, smooth, and almost thick. And it has zero nitrates, which is basically tiny traces of poop. So drink up!
A shout out to Mr Case, for being very friendly, and getting us whatever we need in a pinch. Thank you Marc! And a big thank you to Aqua Maestro for providing us with help, friendly advice, and great waters from all over the world! The other companies that are also being very attentive to us are going to be seen all over the city! Yes-The first WaterShoppe vehicle will be wrapped and getting attention very soon! Imagine a sexy mini cooper with an entire cityscape of beautiful Toronto made from images of bottled waters. How cool is that? Come off... And NO, we don't have a bottle shaped like the Rogers Center, don't be an ass....Geesh, you would think I just got out of prison and haven't talked to anyone on the outside for a year? Sorry for being so yacky. I'm done. As always, come to the WaterShoppe and have a great time!

Guess who is coming???

So can you even believe the guests we are receiving next week? Steve Yzerman, Mister T, Bill Clinton, Dan Ackroyd, Gene Simmons, just to name a few. Yup, we are also going to have the Pope, John Belushi, Elvis, Bethoven, James Brown, and Shakespeare! Sure, you might be thinking right now, some of them are deceased. But are they?????
We are getting a whole lotta celebrity rubber ducks! I cannot imagine how fun it is going to be having a bath with James Brown! "I feel good! Like I knew that I would!" Watch the wings, James...
Before I forget, need to tell you about the elderly woman who came in dressed in a purple nightgown and a pink felt hat, asking what water had the most energy. She pulled out a crystal on a rope, and began swinging it over all the waters. Dog gonnit, but didn't she strike gold with 10,000 BC water! She was so happy, that she pulled out her mastercard and bought 4 bottles. I fail to mention that she also believes that due to the delay in her credit card being authorized, it was meant to be that she was "introduced" to a water from Portugal. Her bag became "lighter" once she placed the bottles in it. Um, yeah. 84 years old, carrying a fabric bag with about 27 pounds of water became "lighter". God bless the disillusioned. A true nutter came in Saturday, grabbed his crotch, and said "Whoaaaa, what do you mean, what am I waiting the f@ck for!!". I have since seen him saying the same thing in a variety store. The Danforth is amazing! We have also had a little blond girl rush the store, and attempt to put three water toys in her pocket, and run back out. No need to worry, I handled it like anyone else would with a three year old. I grabbed her by the hair, slammed her to the pavement and told her if she ever did it again, I would use a shank on her. Hey, a little discipline goes a long way. Her parents will thank me after the law suit.
On a more appropriate note, we are going to be attending the Berkley Springs water tasting competition. How fabulous! This is an event where all the best waters come together, to be judged by their peers, and receive awards. Lisa and myself will be scoping out the next great waters to carry, and also promoting our business.
We have recently been lucky enough to have an article printed in the National Post on our store, which has generated a lot of traffic, as well as a plug from Arthur Von Weisenberger on US STREAM worldwide news, which was fantastic. Our store also provides the red glass bottles of Ty Nant which we were credited for in the November issue of Canada's Style At Home.
Things are tickedy-boo, and we are going to become the best place in Toronto for hot chocolate, so please visit the store!
