Is disco a good business opportunity?

antexit: what exactly is she even discussing?
antexit: how are you supposed to incorporate disco into your small business?

So while disco may be very popular in the clubs in New York and Montreal, will it play in Frederickton or Kelowna?

The Apple comes irresistibly to mind.

"They're from Moose Jaw!"

"Moose Jaw?"

"...I think it's in Canada."

So weird! I especially like what seems to be her assumption that a bunch of small-business owners read that Maclean's article and got all excited, and she has to calm them down.

i am seriously seriously LOLing at this

I think it's the juxtaposition of her face and discussing Chromeo that sends me over the edge

just the idea that some kelowna sporting goods retailer or actuary would read about disco in maclean's and try to incorporate it into their business is making me giggle like a schoolgirl

It's pretty funny that a boring Canadian mag would bother with an article like that ... they got a quote from Andy Butler!

must be ken c.

I think Ms. Ward is right to advice small business entrepreneurs to exercise caution. Riding the disco wave can be profitable, but suburban Montreal is littered with the legacy of disco small businesses now virtually abandoned, only occasionally frequented by sneering hipsters, looking to poke fun, and real disco enthusiasts, mourning the slow demise of their beloved art form.

susan ward, from message board celebrity to crack addicted fetish porn actress in the course of an hour. fame it is a harhs mustress

u do realize shes reading this thread

Well, let my message be cautionary. Nothing stays secret forever. trust me ........................

Don't say no to disco, because you'll never get laid if you're dancing to emo.

i am gonna divest my stock in disco, sell while it is high.

Disco greats like Donna Summer and Gloria Gaynor are making comebacks, new bands like Hercules and Love Affair and Chromeo are making disco music, movies are being made about disco stars and disco's signature fashion house, Halston, has been revived.

But does all this make disco a good small business idea?

Maybe.

I'm looking for investors!

Is she seriously into Chromeo? I just pictured her in the crowd and...

god i'd love to change her "Maybe" to a "Definitely Yes"

more to woo her than anything else, really

Anita Ward wouldn't have to ask.

hook me up

Maybe.

Disco was a magnificent business opportunity in 1978. May not be to the same extent today. :)

I can't believe no one quoted Disco Stu yet: http://www.funkybusiness.net/stupage.htm

what's the street value of these bellbottoms

lol i forgot about this one

"Did you know that disco record sales were up 400% for the year ending 1976? If these trends continue....Ayyy!".

Maybe.

whatcha got going on?

I dunno, I hear that house music has become very popular in America because many artists have crossed over to the mainstream.

I totally forgot about this. LOL!
