No Bad Days ( The Real Story)

No Bad Days…( The real story)

It is a shame that such a great little thought, such as NO BAD DAYS could get as convoluted as it has, with guys like  Little red headed Scott Sample,  (as his Father , Tom Sample used to call Him) and some clutz named  “THE FAT MAN” or the fat guy or what ever in Seatle.

 

            The two of them are under the opinion, they know where ‘No Bad Days’ came from, each thinking it was Tom! Little Scotty’s Father.

 

Well here is the bonafide.

 

           Back in ‘94’, I woke up in my panga in front of the LAS Palmas bar and restaurant, on Mendano beach in Cabo, after a world class night of Tequila drinking.  I was awoken by Eduardo Reyes ,  (God rest his soul), The owner.

 

         “Buenos Dias Miguel , Como  Estas?” My response was , according to Eduardo was , ‘No Bad Days Amigo’. “Das Cute He said Where you get that”? “Amigo it just fell out of my mouth!”

 

        Well friends , that is where it started. It was 1994, I went to Mexico City and had it Marca Registrared , ( Registerted) and started Selling Decals and T shirts.

 

      

 

       About two years later My old friend Tom Sample, comes into my bar, Latitude 22+ with a visor, on it was printed ‘No Bad Days’. Tom had a  sign printing company in Cabo and had just bought a Vynal printing machine. Tom  asked “ What would it take to partner up?” I told Tom , I was done with partners. He then asked, “What would it take for Permision to use No Bad Days. I told Him 2% of Gross or 10% of net. He flinched like a dog having problems passing a peach seed. It was then I told Him. He could have it for use in the U.S.A. for free, He was a good man and I knew he would do it justice. There was one Proviso, that was , That at all times the credit for  No Bad Days, would be given to Mike and , LATITUDE 22, The greatest bar in Cabo

 

Tom Agreed!!!!!!! I told Him if he ever renigged, I would track him down. As fate would have it, Tom went to his greater reward, passing the helm to Young Scotty , who has invented his own story.

To Tom Sample,

From Mike Grzanich

 

Dear Tommy.

 

I hope you find this soothing .After my last partnership with you know who, I find it difficult to partner up again.  Since you are having problems  with 2 & 10, lets do this, You can have No Bad Days free and clear in the USA with one proviso, That being all credit for the founding, nurturing and developing of

NO BAD DAYS

Be the sole  idea of  Yours truly and Latitude 22.

 

There should be one writer, if perchance you should shoot craps, this agreement passes to your heirs, Brad , I know and don’t worry about, I don’t know Squat about Scott. So if this is agreeable with you.

 

  This being said, Congratulations Tom , you have a winner.

 

And Tom, if perchance I shoot craps before you and don’t leave my little girl Irish as well as I should, maybe you could throw her a cookie once in awhile

 

 

                                                                                                                  Your Pal
