FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS.....

While the bar had yet another busy edition of DOLLAR DRAFT MADNESS, yours truly found himself spending his Tuesday night participating in a focus group.

For those of you who are out of the loop, a Focus Group is when a company brings a group of people together to gauge their thoughts/feelings on the topic of the day. Usually the topic is related to a specific product, whether it be a brand of detergent, alcohol, a movie, TV show, etc. You state your opinions on the topic, write some notes, then walk out of there with a nice little envelope.... of cash! It's a sweetheart gig if you can get it- where else can you make $30-250 for a couple of hours of sharing your opinion? And did I mention that it's paid in cash??

Our topic of the day was ESPN Insider, the "exclusive content" offered to subscribers of ESPN.com. Not the most exciting topic but hey, for $100., you suck it up and pretend to be interested. Oh and did I mention that they also feed you too?? So you get fed and paid in cash, just for an hour or two of your time!

Now, I'm not going to be that "a-hole" that keeps the goodies for himself. Here's where you can find Focus Groups to sign up for. Trust me, it's the easiest money you'll ever make: Click HERE

Just remember to buy me lunch sometime... or buy a shirt(see Swandad's Shop on the right)!


TONIGHT: Ladies Night (5pm-close). It's Hump Day and tonight, we focus on the ladies. With $3.00 Mixed Well Drinks (for ladies only), $5.00 Cosmos/Appletinis and $1.00 off ALL Imported Beers, it's a nice way to re-group and focus (again with that word) on the rest of the week! Girls, this is a chance for you to catch up with your girlfriends, and fellas, this is your chance to possibly meet a cutie (or two).

In the meantime, I gotta go open up shop!
