News From Before August
Do you want to see some progress to the shop? Well here it is:
More thanks because you all are awesome!
An additional thanks goes out to Shaan Khan, Isaac Miller and Erika Gonzales for their much appreciated donations. Also Thanks to Mirelle Rhodes for setting up our fundraiser, Kyle Porter for printing our shirts and Josh Allison for making our sign and table. You guys all rock!
Hope you are as excited as we are!
This is a little silly, but if you are curious how long until we will be moving, this little guy will keep you updated! [EDIT: Previously there was a link here to a countdown, but it no longer functions because, well, we're here now!]
Thank You For The Donations!!!
Thank you everyone for your support! Our Uhaul and gas is now paid for, which by the way is freaking expensive! We will be hosting a fundraiser in Colorado in the next few months to help ease the cost of deposits and rent for an apartment, we will keep you updated when that will take place. A special thanks to: Adriana Owens, Oz Beckers, Lindy Szarka, Chris Koeberle, Arian Hormozi, and SparkleOctopus!
Potential Locations:
We have finally all had the chance to check out San Francisco, and we are all in love. There are many possible locations, and we are currently the most excited about North Beach and Hayes Valley as neighborhoods to set up shop. We have gotten in touch with someone who looks for commercial space to lease for a living, so fingers crossed. We will be going back in May to sign leases and really get this thing in Motion.
