2. How many nightclubs did you own? Which ones? Talk about this time in your life.
I have owned and operated about 6 nightclubs in all, starting from my 18th birthday (back in the olden-days you could have a liquor license when you were 18?). They were wide and varied in size, scope, vibe - everything. My first place was a real live Disco in 77?, 78? and 79?. Lighted dance floor, puffy sleeves, gold neck chains - the whole thing. It was like ?Boogie Nights? and ?Saturday Night Fever? combined, with a twist of ?Blow? for you lovers of movie analogies?. I owned a couple of other Disco-like places, a Pool Hall and then ?Billy Bob?s Texas - The World?s Largest Honky Tonk? in the mid-80?s? Then a place in NYC and then to LA in the mid to late 90?s. The LA Club was by far my favorite, although it was a huge pain in the ass ? legally; we did not have a dance permit, but that is a day long story for another time. But I met a lot of the people that later followed me to Paycom, like Keith Hill, who was my Manager and Johnny V (who I actually followed to Paycom) who was the Assistant Manager at the LA spot. It was a Hip Hop club; I think one of the first in LA We had every sports, music and gangster celebrity you could imaging through there. It was nuts, but a lot of fun and I met some incredible people that are my good, close friends today still. I loved the club business. Shaliza wants me to open another. If Tony Morgan would do one with me I would be all over it again. Nobody, anywhere, has a better ear for music and understands what people want in their entertainment experience, imho. The service business, which is what I am in now and was in then, taught me a lot. Put me in a room with a bunch of drunks, music and lights and I feel at home; thus my love for this business. hahaha61514; More answers to follow?. |

OK, here are 3, 4, 5 and 6...
3. How much money have you processed over the years? Ballpark Billions; maybe 6 or 7 plus? It is hard to say. But a lot of transactions, especially if you include drinks bought and sold? 4. Did you buy or lease the private jet? I leased, not Paycom, me. 5. Are you the sole owner of epassport now? Yes. ePassporte (with an extra ?e?) But my key team members have an upside stake as well. 6. Why did you take epassport? Discuss It was the company that I started, worked on, gave birth to, along with a lot of great professionals and partners. But it, as opposed to Epoch, was MY baby, so to speak. The future for this company and its products and services are so wide and varied that it can and will keep me very interested for a long time. It will not get old? C |

I can't lease any bling from Ron... His interest rates are really too high for me, and he always has his boys around to rough you up if you don't make your payments. :winkwink: Great seeing you in Fl, Chris. :thumbsup |

100......
Great ambush. |
Ready for more

Chris I for one would gladly work for you as a promoter of a new club-
I am serious- The only stipulation I'd have is for you to burn half of your striped shirts... LOL They were definitely in fashion a year ago- and I saw you rockin' them then- :-)) I am truly serious- open a club and I'll retire from porn- and that isn't a threat - It's a promise :-)) |

7. Where did you go to high school? University? Degree(s) in?
I attended a great College Prep School in Texas. I did not go to College, however. I guess the Prep was too much. What really happened was my Dad had a major heart attack; he was 42 and we were not very well off financially at that time, as a family and I had to go to work. My kids are going to University, no matter what. Thankfully I have provided for that in case I have The Big One a little sooner than one would hope. People always think that I did really well without going to University so maybe it is not important? I always have and always will disagree. I think that education is critically important and especially today. Street smarts and a great Prep got me through, but it would have been a lot easier if I had the opportunity to go to school. Don?t get me wrong, I am happy about my life, I just want to always be one that says ?Go to school!? ?Get a Degree!? It is a lot easier when you actually understand the terms people are using and don?t have to leave the meeting to look them up. C |
Some of these are just SCREAMING for a caption contest :)

Question #33
Chris will there be a presence on the boards by a ePassporte rep? Since you took over ePassporte I've seen one post adressing a question about ePassporte from Shaliza. Rand were always ready to answer any and all questions and willing to solve problems that webmasters had this gave a feeling of security so if we users had any kind of problem we could always rely on Rand being willing to help with getting it sorted out. |
8. Which one of the three stooges are you? Larry, Curley or Moe?
Oh, a wise guy eh? Moe ? for sure ? Moe. 9. Why do you always seem to sit facing the door in a restruant or nightclub? It should not ?seem? that way; it IS that way. I can?t sit with my back to the door. It is either a past life thing from the Old West; or a 80?s NY thing or I figured out at some point that I look thinner with my back to a structure larger than me. 10. What is the wildest party you've ever been to? Discuss A Bachelorette Party, thrown at my place, when I was about 22, in New York, for an ex-girlfriend. I was the only guy there with about 19 women. I am calling the lawyers now to find out if the statute of limitations has run so I can answer more fully. |
