Load of Fun Building closed until Tuesday, Sept. 4

[Adam D Bachman]

Hey Node members and community, 

I just got off the phone with one of our members, Alan Grover, who has been hanging out with Sherwin lately and the rumors are, unfortunately, true. The city (finally) inspected the Load of Fun building and found it wanting. There's no permanent judgement in place, but until further notice Sherwin has closed the building and *strongly requested* that tenants not come in. I don't think that means you'll be arrested or fined if you do come in, but it does mean you need a really good, possibly life or career threatening reason to even try. It's not recommended.

Sherwin isn't sure what exactly they are going to do as a permanent solution, but he has a meeting scheduled with the city for Tuesday, Sept. 4 to discuss the situation.

This is all the information I have, we'll know more after the meeting on Tuesday. I don't know if that meeting is going to be public, but I can post here if I get any more information, anyone else who hears anything could do the same. If you know or have connections with anyone in the city, please get in touch with them or at least keep them on speed dial, we may need help.

- Adam B.

Adam,

What kind of help or access would be required with the city?

I got the feeling from Alan that it wasn't clear what *exactly* was needed, and he didn't have any contact information for a person at the city to direct people to. The meeting on Tuesday will clarify what's required and how advocates can help. I also got the feeling that the city isn't being agressive and doesn't want to bring down the hammer immediately.

So right now it's a pre-emptive, get your stuff together, who-do-you-know information gathering thing. If you know someone personally and are willing to speak with them on behalf of The LoF, you can call Alan or send me an email directly and I can tell him.

I'll make some inquiries. Will contact directly if I come up with anything useful.
