Café Gheymaid (Café/Bar)
Hello to everyone!
I am planning to open a Café/Bar called "Gheymaid (Inc.)" - no joke! :D
But i need ideas.
Gheymaid Inc. is about C64, Coffee, Beer, Gheys, Twinks, Love, Retro Style and Ambient/Elektroclash/House Music. (Of course it should not be a Gay-Bar, but well something with a female happy touch maybe ROTFL :D) We have now a PC section, beside the C64 one, and soon maybe an Amiga section by the way, everyone is working on the trackmo that will be released at x2008, god willing (The music collection is planned for Spring 2008).
Anyways, how would you imagine a Café/Bar in Retro Style supporting terms like C64, Coffee, Beer, Gheys, Twinks, Love, Retro Style and Ambient/Elektroclash/House Music etc.?
Do you think such a café would be successfull, will it have any visitors? What has the bar to contain, how should I style it to have much visitors in your opinion?
Where would you place it? Rather in the inner city? How large it should be?
How could I implement SID and C64 and the movie Coffee & Cigarettes by Jim Jarmusch, or at least topic-similar elements into the café? First I thought about Chillout/Ambient/House, at least calming and café/bar-enganged SIDs and scene-music to be played.
Please give me every idea you have for maybe the first Commodore-Styled Café/Bar ever! :D
Last and important question: Would anyone around Frankfurt/Mainz/Hessen/Rhein-Main-Gebiet in Germany support me with this? Most Gheymaid members live outside germany, thats why i ask, otherwise i would have got help from *them*.
So shoot please and thanks in advance.
If ever, the café&bar will be opened in Frankfurt, Mainz Wiesbaden, while I would prefer Wiesbaden as it is my home city or Frankfurt am Main as it's a popular big city (maybe i could arrange something in the airport)
Love,
Arman

You're probably talking at least an eleven hour opening time to match the other players in the same market (9am to 8pm) over six or possibly seven days with an hour on top each time to till up. Add to that the time needed to do the accounts (and it's best, i was once told but a former employer who was also an accountan, to do that as frequently as possible) and you're not going to have much of a social life left for at least the first couple of years.
And your staff are there to sell people stuff, the rest is down to you. |

Add to that the enormous amount of coffee you have to sell to keep people awake during Krestology.
And ah I forgot to mention, the ridiculous pricing you will need to afford to pay me HUMONGOUS COPYRIGHT MONEY if you want to play sid-tunes at your café. :)
I wouldn't advice on starting up a business like this but for someone with an existing coffee shop Macx outlined some good ideas on how to theme it. |

wow. i think this is my 1st time post in here.
so howdy all!!1one
In the german c64forum there was a long discussion going on about where to meet in the rhainmain area (with yet no reslut, sry result). see http://www.forum64.de/wbb2/thread.php?threadid=18356
So. i guess a retrostyle (computer-)bar/café would fit _perfect_ here.
