steph and i are (possibly) looking at a club.

Awesome. I wish out coffee shop/teen hangout/stage was still open. Strange Brew, ahh, you were good to us. Except for the time my girlfriend found a gnat in her celery (this was a "vegan" place, mind you) and we bitched because there was meat in the food.

Make sure you serve Bawls there. It's the best drink ever. Sells very well, and the bottles are like little souvenirs!

 

[FrostGiant]

Corn.

don't go underestimating des moines. it was definitely one of the best crowds we played. seems like a really big scene out there.

and for all those who don't know...jake is king shit of fuck mountain of the des moines scene.

i definitely think you should stock guarana but bawls is both more expensive and not as good as many other types!

for all i like to make fun of flyover cities, in my experience when you have areas like that, a lot more of the surrounding area condenses into a few city's cultural scenes, so there can be some really cool nexuses (nexii?). driving six or seven hours for a show in des moines isn't out of the question for a lot of people, whereas it would be a huge freaking event that would get me to drive six or seven hours to a show.

 

[Burzumite]

Yeah, but Bawls bottles are studded, for your pleasure!

 

[xfer]

they also make me think of semi-literate gangsta types with BIG BAWLER tattoos

i have never had a "bank meeting" that didn't include the words "You must be joking."

 

[chupe666]

wait, what's that guy's name with the question mark suit and the free gov't money?

 

[xfer]

matthew lesko.

toby and i used to work for him!

 

[Burzumite]

Woah. You two worked for him?! What was that like?

He acts like a cokehead on TV.

 

[xfer]

let's just say that he was motW's second-greatest influence (after opeth).

 

[deadair]

toby will love that post.

Oh yes, I'm sure of that. . .

 

[deadair]

bad news -

the bank liked the idea, actually, the VP said it was a "wonderful idea". but steph and i ran some hard numbers last night and there just isn't any profit for that space. sucks.

I know a bunch of place that only make money with booze so I am not surprised really, kinda sad though.

 

[deadair]

that's kinda what we came to last night. i just don't want to deal with the headaches of selling booze... and we really wanted to do an all-ages club.

THE INDIE WORKSHOP
Art Space, Juice Bar, and Avon Outlet

 

[avi]

that's why I suggested the non-profit route.

 

[FrostGiant]

I usually get headaches from drinking booze.
