Mission Bay Park is one of the most sought after locations for company picnics and BBQ's. Every year Mj and his friends have a BBQ in this same spot next to the basketball court with the two tables. You can show up at any time with a blanket and a few chairs and find a spot to enjoy the day but for a large group that needs space you have to get there really early. And when I say early I mean early. If you get there after 7am you are a day late and a dollar short and your group is SOL if you wanted a prime spot with a picnic table. Dave is the mastermind behind this event and every year he takes one for the team and gets there at 5am to make sure we get our spot. This year he wasn't so sure about that early morning wake up call so Mj took one for the team as well and met him there at 7am with Breakfast burritos and beer to keep him company.
So that's where the whole business idea came up. We're calling it Beach Butlers. And for a fee someone will show up at the park for you and spend the 7 hours holding the space so you don't have to. We will coordinate beach butlers for hire all across San Diego. And as we get bigger we can diversify and add in other services. I think it could really take off.
Can you see Mj with his butt two inches from the ground going for the ball? He is so competitive. His friends always have some kind of activity like whiffleball or volleyball but I never participate because I suck at team sports. I don't want to be "that girl" that sucks. Mj says they won't care and that I wouldn't be the only one to suck but still. Plus, I really don't want to get all sweaty. I hate it that I sound like such a girly girl saying that. And it's really too bad because I could really burn a lot of BBQ food calories if I would just get over it and join in.
The annual BBQ was a success. There was a good turn out and everyone had fun. Stay tuned for updates on new biz.
I'm joking. I just had to throw that out there in case anyone thought I was serious about starting Beach Butlers. Not that it isn't a brilliant idea or anything.
