Haircut Adventures
Eric and I realized that if are to be taken seriously (especially in Prague, which I think is pronounced Pra-Goo), we can't just go there with messy hair. Luckily for us, Budapest has plenty of places to don one's hair. However, most places were closed as it was a Sunday.
Eric grabbed my phone, punched some stuff in and handed it back to me. E: "This one's open - let's just go there"
M: "Okai!"
10 minutes later, we were in front of the place and let me tell you, it was not about cutting hair at all. I couldn't really argue with Eric as he was correct - the place was indeed open.
Before long, it started raining and we took cover at a coffee shop that happened to be a Cat Cafe. They had three cats roaming around, greeting the guests.
With his production company in mind, Eric thought it would be a good idea to pitch some ideas to the more business-looking cat and perhaps secure funding.
Eric's pitch sounded pretty solid and polished to me but Investor cat was a bit harder to read. He listened intently to Eric but with the furriest poker face that I have ever seen.
After Eric was done with his spiel, Investor Cat did the unthinkable and got on top of the table. He started rapid firing questions to Eric. The questions got tougher and both their voices were raised. It was a tense meeting. Investor Cat looked into Eric's eyes to see if he could be trusted.
"When he looked at me, I felt like he saw my whole life. I've never felt so naked"
Investor Cat eventually saw the merit in Eric's proposal and told us that he'd let us know via mail after thinking it over for a couple of days.
Phew! Business in Budapest is no joke!
