How you can help - and a status report

On Monday some of our initial legal crap begins, and by the end of the day I will know how long exactly it will be until we open our doors again. A week, 2 weeks..? We will know tomorrow. And I will keep you posted.

However, please note that it is a temp fix/short-term solution. And has nothing to do with the other battle that will happen months later, over if I get fined or whatever on the whole giving away of free drinks mess. Also, there is the issue of the town that we are in being fed up with a different club that is a few blocks down and trying to pass laws that would shut them down or crack down on them... but will still affect us.

The first step - which is getting our shows going again, should be quick. But other steps need to take place after that to make sure that nothing like this happens again. Since Thursday I have been very busy getting all of this sorted out, and meeting with city members, legal, investors, etc etc to come up with a solid solution. From what I have been hearing online and in person from the local fans, and bands, and artists - you want us to keep going... and we are going to.

Many of you have asked if you can start or sign a petition. If someone knows a good way to put one together and start sending it around, please do so. If we could come before a hearing with a shit-load of signatures of people saying that they want to see lo-fi exist, that would be awesome. It could be via email, or online, or actually a paper one.
