An Open Letter From David "Dave" First - CEO and Founder of Dave's Waves - A Sonic Restaurant
To all the investors, employees and most of all, our cherished customers:
As most of you know by now, in 2002, with hard work and the help of many good friends I was able to realize a long held dream - the opening up of the original Dave's Waves in a modest building in the center square of Lier, Belgium. It was an immediate success with the good citizens of Lier and I was a very happy man.
Then, 2003 saw the CD release of Dave's Waves on the ants label. This allowed people everywhere to experience - in the privacy of their own home - the sounds that those in Lier had come to enjoy so much. We were extremely gratified to receive many wonderful messages from listeners and very nice reviews from those sometimes-very-tough sound critics.
But even as I was appreciating all of this success, I found myself unsatisfied. For as much as I loved having the Dave's Waves sounds conveniently available to anyone, anywhere, inside I knew that there was nothing like being in Dave's Waves and experiencing the sounds freshly prepared and served by our specially trained staff (under the close watch of yours truly of course).
Therefore, I am proud to announce the next bold step in our amazing journey. On June 1st, 2006 we opened up the latest and greatest Dave's Waves yet - in Berlin, Germany! This is an exciting development for all of us. And, if all goes according to plan, in the very near future Berlin will be merely the beginning - the flagship location of what we hope will become a chain of Dave's Waves in major cities all over the world! As part of this resurgence, our new state-of-the-art facilities will also include, for the first time, the very popular Apple iPod© for an even richer, longer and more diverse personal listening experience.
I know there is risk involved in any venture such as this and there are surely some amongst you that are concerned about whether we will be able to maintain the high quality sonics that have become synonymous with Dave's Waves. It would be only natural to wonder if our product will suffer as a result of this expansion. I want to assure you that this will never happen!
I am fully committed to continuing in the tradition of our first Dave's Waves that started back in 2002 serving only the finest in naturally modulated tones lovingly transformed from data collected in the earth's ionosphere, various species of brainwave-state emulations for your entrainment pleasure and all the other acoustical and metaphysical delights that one has come to expect when visiting us in the past.
Please come join me in Berlin and hear for yourself what we humbly feel is the finest sonic restaurant that can be found anywhere. As our way of showing our appreciation for your support, for six weeks everything on the menu is free!!!
Sonically Yours,
"Dave"
