Blackberry Cocktail Night

Dem frisky little kids are at it again! This time it ain't text messaging they're using, but phone email. Some smart alec bar down south has set up a night where they load out Blackberrys to the drunken clientel so they can send flirtatious nothings to each other.

Moe's all for new business opportunities on mobile, especially when the real money maker of selling alcohol to sexually frustrated 30-somethings is involved. Hey! Not there's an idea. Set up some kinda venue, where people can come, drink and meet each other... wonder if it's been done before?

Let me paint you a picture

Now Moe is a man of many talents, internet entrepreneur, housing mogul, yada yada yada, but when it comes to art Moe's a buyer not a painter. Them kids who sit there for days at a time in the local hipster coffee shops wired and jumpy, before going off to spend nights at a time painting masterpieces in some dingy loft now that's talent!

Of course Moe don't always understand what the paintin' means, but he knows that people will buy any crap they think is art. Business is business. So that's why this Wooster Collective are a bunch of smart cookies. They take their street art from the street to the phone, and make a tidy sum on the way. Sell their paintings time and time again, and still sell the original for a pile of moolah.

Gotta admire their chutzpah. Wonder if they need an agent?
