Cashing in all the stock, well what's left anyways, and placing it on black. If they win the company stays open for another couple months, if they lose they're going to be sucking cock for tickets home.

Can you imagine THREE DAYS of talking about candy bundles and other inane crap. And just imagine your shame if had to walk around Vegas for three days with a big Blockbuster nametag/sticker on your shirt. I LLLLLOVE the thought of my old DM being laughed and pointed at by tourists in Vegas.

It should be the opposite! Send all the SM's and below to Vegas so we can have fun before the company hits the ground!

Have you read the New York Post article from Sunday? Seems Keys been in New York with investors trying to raise money. NY Post says its for a "Prepackaged Bankruptcy" Which wouldn't be bad if we could lose some debt and get the wolf out of thd door. Just have him wait with the rest of the Team Jacobs.

I did tell my DM to wear his cutest underpants because I figured Keys was putting them out on the streets to raise cash. Prostitution is leagle in Nev.

Nah. Not roulette. This is Blockbuster stock you're talking about.

The penny slots would be more fitting.

From my understanding bankruptcy won't work cause we don't own the stores. They are only SHORT TERM leases like jim keyes said in his interview last thurs.Notice how he is usually a motor mouth in all other cases but in the NY post article it was different. He was not willing to share.

first of all...

Blockbuster didn't pay for the Vegas trip. It was financed through a partner company. So everyone can stop bitching.

2nd...
Doug McHose wants to bring the company back to its "glory days". This meeting is not unlike any others from the past. The DM's used to have yearly meetings in vegas.
The meeting is the roll out of all the stuff coming this year. Some good stuff is going to come back to the stores as a result.

stay tuned.
