Notes: 

Possible merger with denhac, who are moving into a new space. 

Possibility of The Concotory's space becoming a co-op under new management. 

Classes will continue in the current space. 

Terms to be determined. 

Memberships and commitments will be upheld.

The Concoctory is struggling to pay bills and keep members coming back. We have approximately 10 paying and active members.

Approximately $600 in the bank. Internet and utility bills have yet to be paid. Automatically recurring payments have been switched to manual. 

Lafe to take over ownership of the screenprinting rig downstairs.

Retail space open hours have been cut.

So something I donated gets given away?

No no. There are two screen printing rigs. Any equipment members want back is if course theirs. Lafe will be buying the other half of the 6 arm rig.

[DETN8R]

Sorry about that, I should have clarified that.

[kuxaan-sum]

DOh!

Carry on...

I do not mind about anything I have donated over but I do have the intention (once my business travel dies down) to print some T's again.

So, in case you guys are WTF about all this, we're talking with denhac about merging in to a central location. (7th and sante Fe) Between the tools, resources and members of both spaces, we could really flourish and be able to run a lot more smoothly and have money in the bank to buy better equipment, throw better events etc. Instead of squeaking by each month.
The other part of this is possible new management at Concoctory space. The classes will continue at Concoctory! 

The hope is that members would stay with us but eventually the equipment and 24/7 location will be at the new location. 

Disclaimer, this is all very up in the air!
Not all parties have agreed yet, and there are details to work out, and commitments to our members to uphold. 

There is some amazing potential here to thrive! 
Lucky and I are visiting denhac in their current location tonight for their open house at 7pm. If anyone would like to join us, please do!

Also, by "ownership" of the 6 arm press I mean that it stays available for use to my company, not that I'm going to squirrel it away somewhere any time soon.  I plan to keep it exactly where it is at least until the end of the calendar year and hopefully indefinitely and am happy to share with people who want to use The Beast as long as we can kick people off if we get slammed with orders at some point.  My guess is that the number of shirt orders any of us would have to get to actually run into a serious schedule conflict would be so many that it's what you might call a "good problem to have" and we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.  

Cheers,

Lafe

You da mench Lafe!

Does this mean glowing "member" t-shirts will be available for all?
