A Chinese Connection

Several weeks ago Craig distributed our business cards to local restaurants but nobody seemed particularly interested in our services and since our current supply of used oil is meeting our needs we hadn't given it much more thought. Today Craig received a phone call from a local Chinese restaurant announcing that their oil is ready for pick up. Much to his surprise, when he arrived at the restaurant he counted 60 gallons of WVO! When we first started this experiment my biggest concern was whether we would have enough suppliers for fuel. Obviously I'm no longer worrying.

Buisness Cards

Now that I've started back to work and am driving all over the city we need to establish some additional contacts for fuel. Our Mexican connection consistently provides us with 10 gallons of oil each week but we need about 20 gallons so we've been eating out at various restaurants and requesting WVO along with our check. Craig created business cards for us to hand out to interested individuals with our contact information (which I intentionally smudged for the blog).

In other news, we've been contacted by a reporter for a local paper who wants to write an article about our experience. I suspect the paper's subscription base is rather small but in my fantasy world I dream that the report is picked up by more prominent media sources - in particular Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert.
