Nothing like waking up and looking at the forecast for DC–snow and 30′s. Then walking outside your hotel into sunshine and 80′s. I’m loving Palm Beach.

Another day of imagineering.

We’re pretty consumed with launching our third location right now–our coffeehouse on Capitol Hill. But we have tentative plans to launch our next theater location in Fall 2006. I’m really trying to gauge the psychology and chronology of that launch. Because we’re occupying our coffeehouse much later than planned, it might bump back our next launch back to 2007. We also want to launch a Spanish service in the next twelve months so we’re trying to put all the pieces of the NCC jigsaw puzzle together.

There is definitely a hard science to multi-site. You’ve got to have the money. You’ve got to have the location. And you’ve got to have the core group.

But there is also the soft science. You’ve got to have the green light from the Holy Spirit. And you’ve got to have the emotional and physical energy.

I’m confident that we can find the money, the location, and the core group. But I’m really trying to gauge all the soft factors.
