Jones Soda issues "going concern" statement
By Melissa Allison
Jones Soda's financial predicament raises "substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern," the Seattle-based company said in a securities filing today.
The small soda maker said that it has revised sales projections twice this year, most recently after disappointing sales during the first part of the historically strong April to September period.
It has enough cash — $7.1 million — to continue operating without additional funding if sales meet its new projections, it said.

And right after I post that, some good news comes out:
Business & Technology | InfrastruX plans to raise $290 million in IPO | Seattle Times Newspaper

InfrastruX plans to raise $290 million in IPO
By Kristi Heim
Seattle Times business reporter
Seattle-based InfrastruX Group seeks to raise as much as $290 million in an initial public offering (IPO) on the New York Stock Exchange, according to regulatory documents filed Monday.
InfrastruX Group provides construction services to gas and electricity companies.
Under the symbol IFR, it would be the first Washington company to go public in more than two years, since Kirkland-based Clearwire made its debut in March 2007.

According to google maps, it's 2,962 miles which will take 1 day 19 hours by car (this seems generous).
5 hours flying. |

My hubby did it in about 4 days (to Raleigh). He spent one afternoon at his mom's house though, just to break up the driving a little.

Spokane is Stupid
I really wanted to show my out of town girlfriend Spokane in the fall (the colors are great!) but I think I'd rather take her to San Francisco instead.
Here's why!
Train: 8-10 hours (leaves/arrives at ridiculous times)
Greyhound: 8-10 hours
Plane: $250 for the two of us
We live downtown Seattle and don't drive, so places that require cars and aren't served by modern transit are kinda out of the question.
I don't see why Spokane has to be so remote! If they were smart, they would court Seattlites to visit their city, but they make it the most cumbersome task ever.
They can enjoy being Spokanistan. Forever. I will take my tourist $'s elsewhere!

So how is San Francisco less remote? ... I'm guessing
Train - over 20 hours
Bus - over 20 hours
Plane $500 for the both of you
