Been thinking about Jerry Lee since that post, and I swear he's the man. He always has cash flow problems, and tax problems, so he opened his house up for tours.
I don't think there is any structure to the scheme, though. You basically knock on the door, and if someone answers you can wander around, see Jerry Lee in his robe, scratching his balls, having breakfast, Cheerios and a beer, whatever, and he'll wave to you maybe. "Go see the crapper," he'll say. "Solid gold fixtures."
And so I was thinking that might have some traction at the Velocihovel. I'm all about supplemental income. Living in a meritocracy, of course, the market sets the value. I'm thinking five cents.
Thinkit: the opportunity to see the Batcave, where I blog, where I pass out on occasion, the spot where I spit up after a particularly egregious post, my toenail clippings. All for a nickel. That's a fucking deal, I think.
If I get any positive feedback I'll pass it along. I may start opening for tours on Sundays. I am particularly disgusting to the human eye on Sundays.
I'm sure with a modest effort on your part you can up the ante to a nice, shiny ten-cent piece per.

Oh, and Mint Juleps...gotta sell Mint Juleps.

Posted by: bitterman at June 19, 2005 1:02 AMWhen taking the tour of Jerry Lee's house, I'd suggest taking a pass on the pool. As our pal Bitterman pointed out in a comment to the previous Jerry Lee Post, there is Bad Juju by that pool.
