HISTORY:
|
|
Way Cool Music is the brainchild of Kendra Ostermeier and Kathy Janies. After seeing each other many times at concerts around Chicago, they formed an unexpected friendship.
Their mutual love of music prompted many business ideas, most of which were dreamed up on road trips across the U.S. to experience live music firsthand. Way Cool Music is the first of these ventures. Stay tuned for more!

What's the worst job you've ever had?
|
|
Working the Midnight to 4:00am shift at Perkins in Cedar Rapids, IA. When the bars closed at 2:00am, it was pure chaos. Some of the people were too drunk to tip, while others were too drunk to realize that they left a $10 tip on a $5 bill. So, there were good aspects, but overall it sucked! |
