Naming the Cart

Many things are happening. Chief at the moment (in terms of energy expenditure) is catering. I worked nine hours today and I have to work from 7:30 to 10 PM tomorrow. It won't be too bad -- It's broken up in the middle and the second half of the day is at the party (again at studio 450). I can do it without too much pain if I can get four hours sleep. I get to sleep in on Sunday with Molly. Wheee! It's been too long to remember the last time we got to sleep in together.

Chief on my mind, of course, is the cart. We are close in now: thinking dates for the premier. We're down to June 13 (Friday the 13th, no less), and June 20. If all goes right [knock on wood] ...

It has been creating an odd schism -- I am working at Cleaver, but I find myself forced to talk about the cart nearly constantly. It is getting a little embarrassing. Molly points out that I am preparing to substantially change my relationship to Cleaver. I am not going to leave, but as a "freelancer," I will have another, more important gig.

Many people have been asking about the name of the cart. I have been hesitant. "Food to make you happy" is my (loose) organizing concept, and I want to use the catch-phrase "Eat and Be Happy," but neither of those really is a name. Does a foodcart need a name?

I don't think I will be able to name until I have seen what it feels like to be on the street. My fellow cook Abe suggests that I make it "something to do with the night-time or something to do with New York."
